When there was a scarcity of choice for consumers,
broadcast marketing worked

Today every traditional marketing channel is in decline, both in use and
effectiveness

What’s changed?
The rise of the web has changed marketing forever
![Page 11: Marketing in a Consumer Driven Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5889c52a1a28abca448b5ac7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“When I became President in 1993, there were only fifty
sites on the worldwide web. When I left office (2001), the number was three hundred and fifty million and rising” –
Bill Clinton

Consumers are now in control as they can simply use the
web to source providers and seek referrals online
In fact 90% of purchases are now researched online
![Page 14: Marketing in a Consumer Driven Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5889c52a1a28abca448b5ac7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Technology has also made it easier than ever for businesses to set-up, expand, and to reach
and service new customers.
So, instead of there being a scarcity of choice, the opposite is
now true.
![Page 15: Marketing in a Consumer Driven Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5889c52a1a28abca448b5ac7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So why do many businesses still base their marketing on an
assumption of scarcity of choice?
Today the reality is ‘abundance’.
![Page 16: Marketing in a Consumer Driven Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5889c52a1a28abca448b5ac7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Traditional marketing and sales no longer work.
Technology and the internet have put the consumer in control.
They have an abundance of choice all around them.
They are screening out our broadcast messages.

Here’s how it works today
• People need to know about you• Then they have to want to engage with
you• Then you have to deliver value and get
them to like you • Only then will they consider buying from
you

Here’s how it looks
![Page 19: Marketing in a Consumer Driven Digital Age](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022061307/5889c52a1a28abca448b5ac7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Engagement Zone• Prospects and customers need to be engaged
on their terms with relevant content, engagement and respectful communication.
• Decision makers no longer want to talk to sales until they are 60-70% down the decision cycle.
• Only using a phone number and 'Contact Us' form misses 80% of the opportunity to capture/nurture prospects until ready to close.
• Time to create and leverage your digital ‘assets’.
