    1. Reach out to both "good" and "bad" customers. You don't just want to talk topeople who love your product and want to spend an hour gushing about you (asgood as that feels). Customers who are unhappy with your product will show otherpatterns that will help you form a solid understanding of your personas.

      This is our number one thing we look into since for where I work at we primarily offer a service. We constantly review our reviews on google, surveys and our message bored.

    1. Digital marketing enables you to track campaigns on a daily basis and decrease the amount of money you're spending on a certain channel if it isn't demonstrating high ROI. The same can't be said for traditional forms of advertising. It doesn't matter how your billboard performs — it still costs the same, whether or not it converts for you

      I found this interesting and I do agree with it. Technology and tools for management is constantly growing and helps track growth. I can relate to this as we use certain programs to track growth in our business. However, I do think depending on the type of business the traditional way may work if monitored properly.

    2. If you place an advertisement on TV, in a magazine, or on a billboard, you have limited control over who sees the ad. Of course, you can measure certain demographics — including the magazine's typical readership, or the demographic of a certain neighborhood — but it's still largely a shot in the dark.

      This is a bit surprising. I figured that yes you may be limited in regards to who may view your content and what target market you have. However, it doesn't necessarily its a shot in the dark. I believe that the purpose of marketing is to bring forth a product or service that can enrich one life. For instance, I might have an advertisement on T.V up regarding a gym membership and the benefits of getting on. Although that might not be enough of a reason for someone to get one immediately, but it plants a thought that may become a need for them at some point. Which is going for the long-term goal of brand awareness. On the other hand, I can see that in regards to efficiency aiming an ad at a specific target market may bring for the best results.
