Most marketers and their agencies place the bulk of their money into traditional formats like TV, print, and direct mail, What barriers keep them from investing in alternative media formats like interactive, experiential, or word-of-mouth marketing?

idea posted by Kavitha Shankar Sr/Principal Coresspondent, ABC
The traditional media do soak up enormous chunks of budget, but with fairly predictable costs to produce the creative ad units. The vast array of Interactive/digital and other alternative offerings opens up a far wider range of creative possibilities - but with unpredictable cost effects.

Unproven

idea posted by Abhinav Garg Sales/BD Manager, Bharti Airtel
A lot of organizations are afraid to use emerging / alternative media due to the fact that it's all still unproven. While there are some success stories out there, people are still trying to figure out how to leverage these new channels effectively.

Uncertainty

idea posted by Smita Sahai Creative, J Walter Thompson
Many corporations who have succeed using traditional media/marketing strategies in the past are reluctant to reduce investment in what empirically has worked and increase spend in mediums they may not fully understand.

COST PER CONTACT

Since finding the people is not always easy, cost per contact is very high, even if actual outlay may be small!

Some times the need of the hour is a broadcast medium, so venturing into new media is against the grain.

Lack of Information.

idea posted by Jay Makwana Media Development Manager, Times of Oman

Even though there is plenty of information available on Alternative Mediums but no one has right information about the right opportunity to try out other mediums..risk of low returns and fear of not reaching target audience are main reasons..
