Everything in the online world is a reflection of the offline world. More of us offline have to ask "What would I do offline?" ...then figure out how that would work online.

Hi David,

You are right and it comes down to the medium and what elements need to be changed etc.

Nice post. Promotions are a good example of how traditional marketing techniques are becoming more and more part of the online marketing scene. In the last few years promotions have seen a lot of use to generate buzz and links in order to create SEO benefits. Things like competitions to encourage blog comments would be a good example of merging traditional marketing with online goals.

Hi Alastair,

I agree with you that tactics are finding their way online and I think there will be more of a focus of generating sales than just buzz. Your example is an interesting one and I have seen this occur in just the last few weeks on a blog. The writer asked the readers a question to be left in the comments area to win a prize.

Thanks for your comment.

Susan
