sales of the special black coffee of the organization is the grand prize of the Europe travel
trip. Also, to enter in this contest the consumers don’t need to pay any type of entry fee which
is one of the major advantage point of this Instagram campaign. Due to this reason the

Comparison between Active marketing and Passive marketing:
The active marketing is the marketing process involving the proactive actions that
engage and connects the potential customers with the marketers for building a trust and
relationship (Russell-Bennett, Wood & Previte, 2013). Comparing the active marketing with
the passive marketing, the passive marketing explains that it is a typical type of promotional
and marketing tools that is used for explaining the products or the service to some potential
customers. Thus in short the passive marketing is the process of displaying the products or
the service to the world.
Social media can be considered where the example of the passive marketing can be
given. In the social media the followers can be feed with essential information about some
products which will help in the marketing of the product.
