Traditional Marketing: Still Needed

Retro Tv CommercialIt’s no surprise that mobile usage continues to rise in the U.S.

More and more marketers are keen on this fact, and companies are investing more time and money into mobile ads, seeking to reach consumers.

However, while mobile usage is expected to rise, and mobile marketing has become a necessary part of a company’s marketing strategy, traditional advertising cannot, and should not be discounted.

According to data provided by Statista, smartphone users constitute 63.8% of mobile users in the U.S.; by 2016 and 2017, that is expected to rise to 75.3% and 79.7% respectively.

Statistic: Smartphone users as percentage of all mobile users in the U.S. from 2010 to 2017 | Statista

That means that there are still millions of consumers out there that do not have a smartphone, rather, they have a regular mobile phone. The Pew Research Center shows that 90% of American adults possess a mobile phone. This leads to another conclusion: There still many more potential consumers that mobile advertising cannot reach, but that traditional marketing may.

Pew Research also showed that “Overall, 84% of U.S. households own a computer, and 73% of U.S. households have a computer with a broadband connection to the internet, the bureau reported. These findings are right in line with survey findings of the Pew Research Center, which found that 70% of Americans have broadband access.”

That further means that there are still households in the U.S. that marketers should attempt to reach by utilizing traditional marketing – television, radio, newspaper advertising and direct mail.

While mobile is on the rise, traditional marketing is not dead. How much life is left in it is another question. I believe, however, that there will always some space for it. Of course, the strategy you take depends on your target audience, and where and how they can be reached.
