The most important use of traditional procedure of newspaper ad bookings is that categories like change of name, lost & found, Public notice advertisement are mandatory to be printed on newspapers & are not accepted in Online advertisement.And there are still many people who have a habit of reading newspapers every morning with bed tea so they will not depend on online advertisement.

Suppose even if the advertiser is from young generation knowing all the advantages of online booking but still they might not prefer online booking process over traditional process of advertisement, the main reason behind this is trust issue as they cannot see the online ad booking agency physically they might not trust them with their money to publish an ad.

Some online Ad booking website provides instructions which seems to simple & easy to follow but for many advertisers who are willing to place an ad finds it complicated sometimes they might take help from customer care executive over a call or chat for assistance but even through after all the guidance provided they have to finish the Ad booking procedure mostly on their own which leads to drop the idea of online ad booking.

lastly Online ad booking process requires advertisers to make payments online through  NEFT, net banking etc. For this they have to share personal information for online payment for such things some advertisers are not comfortable with but in the traditional ad booking process advertisers have to make payment in cash. so they prefer traditional ad booking process.

So after considering all above points it suggests that after 5 years from now there will still be importance of traditional advertisement but its popularity will be less as more of the population will rely on online medium of advertisement due to its due popularity among the young generations & various advantages.

So let us discuss the few advantages of recruitment ads in newspapers over online job posting.

  1. Newspaper recruitment ads help you to hire more experienced and local candidates as a result you will get a candidate who has local knowledge about the area as well minimum travel is needed whereas through online job portal it is very difficult to describe about the job role, qualifications as there are limitation & as the candidates apply randomly through online portal it becomes very difficult for the recruiter to recognize candidates who are serious about the job post & have to contact every candidate who have applied, which in return becomes a lengthy process to select correct candidate.
  2.  For the job roles such as sales executives or representatives etc the recruiter always looks for the local candidates who have the proper knowledge & experience of their location by giving an ad in regional & english newspaper allows you to target a more specific geographic location and audience.
