By Vandana Dhawan


Entrepreneurs have various methods to promote their businesses. Online advertising and print advertising are two major advertising methods available to promote businesses. There are various discussions and comparisons about the effectiveness of these two methods. Which one is the best? Is it online adverting, or is it print advertising?

It is very difficult to say that one method is better than the other one. However, both give different benefits. You can use both these advertising methods according to the nature of the business and customer characteristics. Here are some few characteristics and advantages of both advertising methods.

When we consider the process time, print advertising takes much time than online advertising to complete its entire campaign. This happens because most of the processes in print advertising are done physically like advertisement designing, printing and distributing. When considering online advertising, only the designing part takes a few hours. All the other processes can be done quickly. Therefore, it takes lesser time to execute an online advertising campaign than print advertising campaign.

When consider the coverage of each method, online adverting again leads the way. Print media cover a finite amount of area and they have limited circulations. The advertisements you place on print media will reach only to people who associate with those print media. You also need to repeat your advertisements few times and get the reaction. When we advertise online, your advertisement will go all around the world within few seconds. There are no any geographic barriers for internet advertising.

It is easy to market your products to your target customers through internet advertising. You can make your ad visible to people who search your products. This is not possible through print media because it is not possible to make restrictions. However, print advertising can be used to reach to customers who do not have access to the internet. There are many people who do not use the internet. Print media is very successful method to promote your business among those people.

When compare the cost, online advertising is cheaper than print advertising. However, there are many costly promotional methods exist online. Therefore, the cost factor may vary according to the method you use either online or print media.

According to the above factors, you may think that online advertising is always more effective than print advertising. But there are instances where print media bring benefits than the internet. Some features are credibility and tangibility. Therefore, we advise you to use both these methods to promote your business and gain business success.
