device or the internet. Businesses leverage digital channels such as search
engines, social media, email, and their websites to connect with current
and prospective customers.

traditional ads we encounter on a daily basis. Many of the common and most tried offline
marketing tactics come under the following five major categories: - Print (magazines,
newspapers, etc.), - Broadcast (TV, radio, etc.), - Direct Mail (catalogues, postcards, etc.), -
Telephone (telemarketing, sms marketing, etc.), - Outdoor (billboards, fliers, etc.)

7. The selling techniques Four P’s
The selling techniques that we use today heavily rely on the infamous
Four P’s of marketing:
product, price, place, and promotion.
Every successful business knows how integral it is to create a proper sales
funnel. By leveraging the four P’s of marketing, a business can actually lead its
prospects and customers through any sales funnel and see favorable results.

8. Target Market / Audience
A target market is a group of consumers or
organizations most likely to buy a company's
products or services. Because those buyers are
likely to want or need a company's offerings, it
makes the most sense for the company to focus
its marketing efforts on reaching them.
A target audience is a specific group of people
with shared characteristics who are most likely to
be interested in your products or services.
Businesses typically use demographic information
to define their target audience.

9. Markets / Audiences
Broad
A Broad Market refers to the
movement of the market as a
whole, rather than a specific
industry or sector.
A niche market is a subset of a
larger market with its own particular
needs or preferences, which may
be different from the larger market
