They would rather spend their advertising and marketing budget on consumers of interest. As well as, the target audience.

With studies now showing how often consumers spend on digital platforms, companies are using more digital platforms such as Google Adwords, Facebook, Google Display Network, to promote their business. With advertising budgets being spent targeting specific consumers, companies are seeing a greater return on their advertising investment.
