Internet Marketing’s Place
Internet marketing is one piece of the larger marketing puzzle. It will rarely provide you with the best results on its own. Instead, you should couple Internet marketing tactics with offline marketing tactics such as traditional public relations, promotion, and advertising techniques. Include Internet marketing in your company’s, or website’s, marketing plan, but remember that no one type of marketing will work miracles on its own, no matter how popular it may seem.
