- Television advertising
- Radio advertising
- Print advertising (magazines, newspapers, newsletters)
- Press releases
- Billboards and banners
- Emailing and txt messaging
- Word of mouth
- Branding/ product marketing
- Telesales and marketing
Out of the above 10 forms of advertising, internet marketing has become an effective and lucrative solution to the traditional forms of advertising which are still being or have been used in the past. Internet marketing such as SEO, blogs, articles and social networking are a long term solution which proves to be more cost-effective than the other forms of website marketing and visual, audio and print advertising. Most people now use the internet to buy products, play games, find information, chat to friends/family, listen to music and watch films, so it makes sense to advertise online. Our society is becoming a virtual world and a marketplace of trade so we are now faced with updating all available forms of advertising and joining forces with the virtual world or face annihilation.
