THEN • Advertisers had all the control.

• Consumers were bombardedwith ads & pamphlets tryingto sell them many products.

• While they didn’t like this, they couldn’t do anything about it.


NOW • The buyer is in control

and has much more power.

• They have all the tools at their disposal to do their own research.

• They’re able to make their own decision on yourproduct / service without you.
