One of the downsides of traditional marketing and advertisement is, that the success of certain campaigns or events can hardly be measured. While you sometimes might be able to relate a sudden increase in sales with a recent tv ad or direct mailing, in general you will be unable to sort out which of your various campaigns over the year really did bring up results. Fortunately, on the web we don’t have these problems.
I have never done “offline marketing” because I have always been working online. The problems mentioned have therefore never been an issue for me. I could tell in a second which adsense campaigns bring most of my clients, and which partner sites contribute most to my access statistics.
Every single one of my clients has the necessary tools to see whether the campaigns I planned for them produce results or not, which practically does away with one of the greatest doubts clients use to have towards marketing measures.
Low budget
What’s also great online is that you don’t have to spend 500 euros to reach a few thousand people of your town among whom maybe 50 are interested in your product. As long as your target group frequently uses online search, you could get much more visibility and target interested users directly while spending only 5-10 euros.
Having in mind the low budget necessary for online campaigns, imagine how much your marketing potential explodes if you just spend a small part of your marketing budget in online campaigns!
Very fast
Another advantage of online marketing is the time it takes to launch a campaign. Since the necessary interfaces are already there, once the campaign’s concept is done it shouldn’t take too long to start the first campaigns. Compare this with the time it takes for professional designers to create “offline ads” 
Targeting
I’m sure you have seen on blogs or web portals ads that very often contain content related to the article you are reading. This is due to aplications like AdSense, who analyze the text on a website and come up with related ads, so that users see ads they are likely to be interested in.
Great flexibility
Everybody makes mistakes. What’s good online is that mistakes will never cost you a fortune, since you will see right away whether a campaign does bring results or not. In case it doesn’t, it can be either optimized in terms of text, images, or location, or cancelled and substituted by another one on another site.
Ready, steady, go!
