  • Radio Gingals
  • Magazine Ads
  • Creatives

Traditional marketing has his own limitations in terms of reach to audiences. 

They do not have proper targeting to specific audiences.

For example, on the freeway, there is a huge billboard of the beauty product for women. There is no such tool that tracks how many women have passed by the billboard. It is very difficult to monitor this. Because of this reach of this type of marketing is limited. It is been seen by everyone who is passing by irrespective of men or women. The same message is seen by all of them which is not going to convert into prospective buyers. If you want to change something in the existing ad copy it is going to a very costly affair. It needs a lot of funds to create another one altogether. 

There is no tracking system for the performance of these kinds of ads. There is no proven measurement to analyze.  

It is applicable to all forms of traditional marketing methods.
