Hi there! I am a freelance writer who lives and breaths content on a daily basis. I consider myself to be a living paradox. An old soul trapped in a modern world. A self-proclaimed hopeless romantic and a professional over-thinker. I can't start anything unless I have my coffee. Writing has been and always will be my way of calming the storms in my heart and mind.

So let us see the difference between the marketing strategies done before and today and let’s determine how technology impacted the marketing industry.

What is marketing? This is defined as the act of promoting products and services. Marketing in the past was quite challenging and needs a lot of hard work. Marketing through television advertisement is honestly very expensive; you will have to pay for your actors/actresses, the directors of your advertisement, the props, the location, and other expenses.

The right target audience can be reached successfully in no time and even international audiences can be touched by a simple message with the use of email or text messaging.

Marketing any products or services all over the world is really easy; there are social media platforms advertisers can use to market different products and services. Social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and a lot more are now powerful tools in marketing something.

Registration is free, no physical hard work needed, it is easy to do that even elementary students can use social networks on their own without supervision.

With the use of technology, there are no more paper bills to hand over. By using Facebook or other social networks and keeping in touch with your cyber friends will help you increase your sales and advertise as much as you want. With the use of technology, it is also possible to create newsletters and send them through emails to different people.
