Why digital?

»

As anyone with a smartphone knows, the digital world is growing—and the world of print media is shrinking. So yes, digital advertising gives you the opportunity to reach more readers than print, but that’s not the only advantage. Online advertising costs less than print advertising, and it has less of an environmental impact. Most importantly, though, online advertising cuts through the masses and gets in front of your specific demographic. Digital advertising gives you more control over who sees your ad, so you can reach potential customers effortlessly. Navigation and reading become easier, too: You can’t search and zoom in a print magazine, and if you’d like to learn more about a topic, digital media links to it in just one click. Simply put, online advertising is more efficient: Less cost, more exposure to the right audience.
