1 . As you can imagine, there are many types of advertisements all of which run in different mediums, on different channels, and have different goals in mind for their business.
Direct Mail Advertising
Direct mail involves creating and distributing printed materials to a targeted mailing list. These materials can include post cards, brochures, and letters. This method first came about in 1835.
It’s still quite effective, even in the digital age. Not only do consumers enjoy receiving physical mail, but there’s also much less competition compared to the tons of email marketing ads that people receive each day.
Radio Advertising
United States radio stations launched their first commercial broadcasts in 1920. And while we might all drive around with our iPhones for music these days, don’t let that fool you.
Radio is still a workable marketing and advertising platform today for expanding the reach of sponsored(赞助) events and new products. In this ad method, the advertiser pays the radio station to play the ir ad during breaks between music or a radio show.
Social Media Advertising
Social media advertising is a form of internet advertising that combined with the introduction of social media in the 2000s. In this ad method, advertisers promote products, services, or content on social media platforms, such as Facebook and TikTok.
There are also many different ad forms to choose from when advertising on social media, such as image ads, video ads, sponsored posts, and more.
Mobile Advertising
Since the early 2000s, mobile advertising has been a popular method due to the widespread use of cell phones. It involves delivering promotional messages or advertisements through text messages, mobile apps, and mobile websites.
With this method, advertisers can maximize the use of data and create highly personalized ads based on location, behavior, and user interests.
