Today, traditional marketing methods seem to be falling by the wayside as more and more businesses and entrepreneurs are learning how to leverage the growing power of the internet and digital marketing.
Why is this the case?
With traditional marketing methods the costs are increasingly rising. With direct mail alone, 1,000 single page inserts could cost as much as $40-$50 and the response rate is getting worse by the day.
Where as, with digital marketing the cost can be extremely low with a very high ROI (Return Of Investment). Plus,the most effective because one can target their audience by providing valuable content that educates and informs them while attracting them to a website, blog, product or service.
But let’s ask the question and see if anyone can relate.
Which one do most people use now heading into 2017? The Yellow Pages or The Internet when looking for a good or a service?
Leveraging the power of the internet can help a small business compete with well known brands, stand out from the crowd and, attract highly qualified prospects.

Then there’s also Netflix and Tesla.
All of these companies have made huge impacts in their given niche and the marketplace overall.
How were they able to make the achievements they have?

Unlike businesses who simply focus on the bottom line.
By using the technology of the internet an industry disruptor can cut cost and gain massive amounts of leverage while providing a better customer experience than any of their competitors.
