Growth Hacking: Low-cost alternatives to traditional marketing

Growth Hacking: Low-cost alternatives to traditional marketing. Growth hacking is a relatively new term being used to describe the process of rapid experimentation across marketing channels and product development to identify the most effective and efficient ways to grow a business. Its becoming increasingly important for SMEs and start-ups as a way to use low-cost alternatives to traditional marketing, e.g. using social media, viral marketing or targeted advertising instead of buying advertising through more traditional media such as radio, newspaper, and television. The importance of data and rapid testing using lean methodologies is also an integral component.
