Social media marketing.. Will it overtake Traditional marketing

[jeremy]

The way we are seeing the growth of such a fabulous medium for marketing, do you think that social media will completely replace traditional print, tv media... I am myself not too sure about that... Any opinions...

Hi...
I am a bit new to IM...so excuse my naivety... But i reckon that i social media marketing would find it difficult to a traditional marketing... I mean , not everyone logs on to the internet for countless hours...but there is a lot of population that logs on television everyday for lot of time and reads newspapers... so it is difficult to replace it..it  might complement traditional marketing...

First we should try to understand between the two methods..
The difference as you can see from the title itself is interruptive marketing Vs. participation marketing..
Traditional marketing such as TV and radio force advertisement on us..
you are interrupted from what you were doing ,whether you are watching you favorite show or anything..
             Social media marketing on the other hand doesn’t work like the traditional marketing. There is no interruption involved. You either participate and market your product, service or content or you just let it go. You can’t just go ahead and promote your products like the traditional marketing. Social media marketing requires an element of being social with that particular social media platform community.
     Simply this advantage , make social media marketing more lasting and beneficial, IMO

Social media marketing, if done right, can have a significant impact on brand awareness and popularity. However, many companies fail to utilize this cheap (and in many cases free) method of marketing
