Traditional Media Losing Market
Share
• Box Office: down by 7% this year (tickets per capita have
fallen every year since 2001)
• Newspapers: circulation, which peaked in 1987, is
declining faster than ever and is down another 2.6% so far this year
• Radio: down 4% this year alone, continuing a multi-decade
decline
• Magazines: Ad revenues are up a bit although the number
of ad pages is flat (they're charging more per page). Circulation is
also flat, while newsstand sales are at an all-time low
TV: As channels proliferate and the audience fragments the rating
of the average show continues to decline.
What’s Next Online?
Social networkers are increasingly turning away
from traditional media and toward their peers for
information and product recommendations.
This sea change provides marketers with a new and
exciting opportunity to reach consumers by
initiatives that weave best practices from social
networks and online commerce.
By welcoming consumer participation throughout
the marketing process, companies can engage
consumers at deeper level and achieve their sales
and marketing goals.

“It’s stupid to just advertise on MySpace
and assume you are a social marketer.
You need to get your customers involved
and associated with your brand.”
