There are 2 different forms of digital marketing, each of which has its pros and cons.
Pull
Pull digital marketing technologies involve the user having to seek out and directly grab (or pull) the content via web search. Web site/blogs and streaming media (audio and video) are good examples of this. In each of these examples, users have a specific link (URL) to view the content.
Pros:
No restrictions in terms of type of content or size as the user determines what they want.
No technology required to send the content, only to store/display it.
No regulations or opt-in process required.
Cons:
Considerable marketing effort required for users to find the message/content.
Limited tracking capabilities – only total downloads, page views, etc.
No personalization – content is received and viewed the same across all audiences
Push
Push digital marketing technologies involve both the marketer (creator of the message) as well as the recipients (the user). Email, SMS, RSS are examples of push digital marketing. In each of these examples, the marketer has to send (push) the messages to the users (subscribers) in order for the message to be received.
Pros:
Can be personalized -- messages received can be highly targeted and specific to selected criteria – like a special offer for females, 21 years old or over and living in California.
Detailed tracking and reporting – marketers can see not only how many people saw their message but also specific information about each user such as their name as well as demographic and psychographic data.
High Return on Investment (ROI) possible – if executed the right way, push messaging can help drive new revenue as well as brand reinforcement.
Cons:
Compliance issue – each push messaging technology has its own set of regulations, from minor (RSS) to heavily controlled (email and text messaging)
Requires mechanism to deliver content – the marketer has to use an application to send the message, from an email marketing system to RSS feeders.
Delivery can be blocked – if the marketer does not follow the regulations set forth by each push message type, the content can be refused or rejected before getting to the intended recipient.
