This includes digital and newspaper advertising. Digital ads are the updated version of newspaper advertising; it’s the same concept but in 21st-century form. It means buying ad space on sites that are of interest to your target demographic.

Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and pretty much all social media sites offer relatively inexpensive advertising. Paid social media ads are the kind of advertisement that focuses on reaching your target audience with how much you pay adjusted to how many see it and engage with it.

These kinds of advertisements are traditional yet no less effective. Combining this type of advertisement between local, statewide and national print media is a great marketing campaign strategy. Plenty

Now that billboards have gone digital it’s a huge way to make an effective statement. Transit ads are another kind of advertisement that falls under the outdoors umbrella — feature your product or service on buses, taxis, bike messenger services and pedicabs

Verbal promotion is a type of advertisement that can be repeated often as part of radio or podcast shows. You can have a traditional type of ad recorded to be played or there is also the chance of sponsorship.

Direct mail, or the art of sending a compelling sales letter by snail mail to your target audience, can offer a healthy return on investment for small businesses.

This type of advertisement engages with your target customers on a digital level. Create a short video and post it on your social media or pay to have it run on sites like YouTube, Hulu and blogs.

This kind of advertisement is seen more and more. If you pay for a podcast host to mention using your product or pay a television show to feature a character talking about or using your service, that is product placement.

Paying to sponsor a sports team or a charity benefit falls under event marketing. These types of advertisements mean a large cross-section of people hear your brand name and associate it with that event.

A kind of advertisement that is focused on your existing customers, email marketing involves them signing up for promotional sales or newsletters focused on your brand.
