Denver, Colorado – As an advertising agency owner in Denver Colorado, my (potential) clients always ask me, β€œwhich medium is the best one to reach my best customer?” The truth of the matter is the most important element is the message. The correct medium can definitely help, but a strategic message that is relevant to the intended audience. The right medium does matter when it comes to reaching the right demographic, fitting your budget and meeting your objective. As experienced media buying and planning agency, we’ve come to understand how and when to use the various traditional mediums. Below is a list of the pros and cons of each of the main mediums. (Note: I consider online advertising β€œdigital marketing” and therefore not covered in this article.) This list is not all inclusive, but a basic guideline.

Pros:

Immediate delivery of message and high frequency of message [you can repeat several times per day]. Local audience. Selectivity by format. High availability. Low cost per thousand [CPM] exposures. Low cost production. Reach an exclusive and captive [mobile] audience.

Cons:

Limited to audio message. High channel switching. Your message expires immediately [no shelf life]. High advertising clutter.

Pros:

Newspaper ads rank highest for believability for all media, especially with an older audience. High local coverage and immediate [daily] delivery of your message.

Flexibility in production: low cost, fast turnaround, ad shapes, size, excellent quality for inserts. Special targeted sections and shopping guides. Extraordinarily high Sunday readership.

Cons:

Very busy/cluttered competitive environment [must compete against other ads and the newspaper copy]. Little control over ad placement. Low production quality. Hard to target your specific audience. Short life span [24 hours].

Pros:

Immediate delivery of message and high frequency of message [you can repeat several times per day]. Very high impact – TV is the best for stimulating the senses. High mass audience coverage, high prestige. Low cost per thousand [CPM] exposures. Local regional emphasis, cable audience availability, some audience selectivity.
