A news from
NDTV found on alootechie shows display ads are more better in terms of performance, in fact the ratio is about 2.5 times.
My take on the camparison below is, online marketing is comparatively new field when it comes to have a direct competition with the display ads and outlets. There are not much expert people as we can see in age-old print media and TV etc.
One more thing to be considered is the CPA (Cost per Aquisition) , the cost incurred for getting a client converted including ads / campaign marketing, awareness, social media optimization and demographics targetted.
I'm a strong believer, if the online marketing is done better ( for products related to internet literate people) there is higher chances of achieving higher clients at lower cost than display ads. Something is wrong if you are under-estimating the power of quality online marketing.
