Since the target audience is huge, therefore, the advertisement is made for all and easily understood by all. 

Disadvantages

The methods of promotions are the same and cannot be changed. So is the case with the timing of the promotion. The pre-decided slots can be helpful or of no use to the business.

The cost of promotion through traditional ways is a lot more expensive if compared to a digital marketing strategy.
