Traditional and network marketing cater to different consumer behaviors and business strategies. Network marketing thrives on personalization and relationship-building. Distributors benefit from commissions on their sales as well as those made by their downline, gaining access to residual income and various incentive structures. The trust between a distributor and a customer plays a key role in influencing purchase decisions. 

In this model, distributors not only sell products directly to customers but also build and train a team, growing their income as the team performs. 

In contrast, traditional marketing is built for scale and speed. It uses TV ads, billboards, and digital campaigns to capture attention quickly. However, it demands significant investments in advertising, staff training, and market analysis. With the help of digital tools, businesses can now automate campaigns and target large audiences more effectively.
