Marketing is all about communication.
To communicate with consumers, brand managers use several types of media. The most common types of media used for marketing strategies are:
- Direct mail
- Television ads
- Newspaper and magazines ads
- Radio ads
- Digital ads
- Sales promotions and events
- Billboard ads and signs
- Search Engine Optimisation
- social media
- Movie ads
Etc…
Each type of media has its own strengths and weaknesses, and some work better for certain products or services than others. Here is a brief overview of the most common types of marketing media – but first, let’s get a few basics out of the way.
What’s Media?
The term media is plural for medium.
Media is anything that carries a message from the marketer to the consumer. It comes in two broad forms:
- Traditional media like TV, radio, and newspapers
- Digital media like websites, emails, and social media
Different Types of Media
Media is broadly classified into three main categories:
- Broadcast
- Digital
- Out-of-Home Media
Broadcast: As the name implies, this type of media uses electronic transmissions to reach a spread-out audience.
It includes TV and radio ads.
While some people still get their news from TV and radio broadcasts, different sources reveal that it wouldn’t be long before the internet takes over.
Print: Print is the use of paper and ink to share information. In traditional marketing, print is always an offline activity. It includes billboards, posters, magazines, flyers, direct mailers, newspapers, and journals.
Print is the oldest form of media, and despite being threatened by the internet, it is still quite popular.
Digital: This is the newest form of media.
It refers to any media you can experience online, on websites, emails, blogs, social media, and mobile devices.
Digital media is simply transforming the way we communicate with one another.
The internet didn’t quite take off until the 1990s and early 2000s when broadband became more widespread, and people started using laptops and other mobile devices.
Now, almost everyone has some form of digital media in their lives.

| 2021 | 5, 168 | 65.6% | ||||
Out-of-Home Media: Out-of-home, or OOH, media is any medium people view outside their homes. That includes billboards, bus stop benches, subway station ads, and taxi top ads.
Given the nature of OOH media, companies usually use it for branding, creating awareness, and motivating people to take action. They’re pretty standard in big cities but are slowly making their way into small towns and suburbs.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Media
When choosing the right media for your marketing efforts, you need to consider a few factors:
The demographics of your target market
It refers to the age, gender, education level, and income level of your target market, as well as their interests and hobbies, where they work, and what kind of family life they have.
Your budget
It would also help to consider how much you’re willing to spend on media advertising. For example, TV and radio ads cost a lot more than print ads, so they aren’t usually suitable for small businesses with tight budgets.
The message you want to send
When choosing a medium, consider the message you want to convey to your target market and its appropriateness for the target audience. For example, if you’re a funeral home, it wouldn’t be appropriate to advertise your services on a children’s TV show.
Your product or service
Certain products and services are more suited for certain media than others. For example, a luxury car would be more suited for an ad in a high-end magazine than a low-budget newspaper.
Media Availability
This factor considers how easily your target market can access the media. For example, if your target market is young people who live in a big city, then out-of-home media would be a good choice. If your target market is older people living in the suburbs, print media would be a better option.
Your Marketing Goals
You also want to consider your marketing goals and the media you use. For example, if your goal is branding and awareness, then TV and radio ads might be a good option because they make it easier for someone to remember your business name and message.
Whether the medium aligns with your company’s values
The medium you choose must align with your core values as a company. For example, if your company values sustainability, you might want to consider using digital or out-of-home media that promotes environmentalism.
The 10 Most Effective Types of Media Used in Marketing Strategies
Newspapers Advertising
Newspaper advertising is one of the oldest forms of print media. Its history dates back to the 1700s, when Benjamin Franklin began publishing the Pennsylvania Gazette.
Newspapers are still widely used because they’re relatively inexpensive and easy to produce and distribute.
There are two camps on the effectiveness of newspaper advertising: one group believes it’s not effective, while the other thinks it is.
The first group argues that newspapers were phased out by the internet, that their readership is declining, and that they’re not as effective as they once were or as other forms of advertising such as TV and radio.
The second group argues that newspapers are steadfast in delivering news and can be highly effective marketing channels if used correctly.
The thing is, as long as newspapers are about content and storytelling and less about ads, they’ll be around.
Even better, newspaper companies are also adjusting to the digital age by introducing apps like the Boston Globe, allowing users to read newspaper articles on their mobile devices.

Like newspapers, magazines offer a high level of credibility and reach a large audience. They’re also widely read by the affluent and have a longer lifespan than newspapers.

Magazines come in two broad categories: Business-related and Consumer-related.
Business-related magazines: Business-related magazines target people in specific industries or professions. They usually contain articles about current trends, best practices, and case studies.

Direct Mail
As the name suggests, direct mail is any form of marketing communication sent directly to the consumer, usually by post.
Direct mail can take many forms: coupons, brochures, catalogues, cards, flyers, letters, etc.
Direct mail can be segmented based on location and demographic profiles. It allows businesses to target specific groups within their market.
How to Make Direct Mail Work for You
Direct Mail is typically used to build brand awareness, generate leads, acquire new customers, and create repeat purchases.
It’s effective because it allows businesses to target specific groups of people without incurring extra costs.
Direct mail can be segmented along demographics (i.e., age/gender/income), lifestyle (i.e., pet-owners, eco-friendly consumers), and psychographics (i.e., interests, activities).
Here are some quick pointers on how to make direct mail work for you:
- Start with Existing Customers: You can’t just mail random people and expect them to buy from you. If your recipients don’t find your mail relevant, they’ll throw them away without a second thought. Start with your existing customer list, and segment them based on demographics, lifestyle, and psychographics.
According to an SBA report, 68% of consumers will throw away a letter from a retailer or brand if they have never heard about it before. On the other hand, 76% will talk about a mail if it’s from a brand they have purchased from before.
- Segment Your Mailing List: You should also be segmenting your mailing list just as you would with your website’s visitors. That will allow you to target specific groups within your market with greater accuracy.
- Use Tested Copy: Direct mail doesn’t work if your copy isn’t up to par. Always test different types of copy (i.e., value proposition, USP, discount offers, etc.) before you send out the mailers.
- Style them Right: Your direct mail design is just as important as the copy. Make sure it’s visually appealing and easy to read. Keep the text brief, the photography eye-catching, and the layout streamlined.
Pros and Cons of Direct Mail
The Pros of Direct Mail
- Allows you to Target Specific Audiences: Companies can filter mailing lists based on zip code, family size, income levels, etc. You can identify families most likely to buy from you and then send them a direct mail.
- Can Scale with Your Business: Direct mail is scalable, which means you can send out more targeted mails as your business grows.
- One-on-One Communication: Direct Mail gives companies the chance to communicate with consumers personally. It’s not just an email or ad campaign; it’s an actual, physical letter to a customer. That makes people more likely to take it seriously and read the letter’s contents.
- Opportunity for creativity: Unlike other forms of advertising, direct mail allows for more creativity. You can be as imaginative as you want with the design and content of your mail.
- Personalisation: You can also personalise your mailers with the recipient’s name and other demographic information.
The Cons of Direct Mail
- Cost: The cost of direct mail can be prohibitive for some businesses. Printing, postage, and production costs can add up quickly.
- Time-consuming: Creating effective direct mailers takes a significant amount of time and effort. You need to create a compelling copy, find a direct mail printing company, and ensure you have the right mailing list.
- Deadline: It takes anywhere from 2-3 days to 5 weeks to deliver your letters. If you’re looking to build brand awareness quickly, this is not the way to do it.
Broadcast Media
Broadcast media refers to advertising mediums that use electronic signals to reach a large audience. That includes television, radio, etc.
Broadcast media is still one of the most effective ways to reach vast audiences. It’s especially popular with older generations who are more likely to watch TV or listen to the radio.
Here are the different types of broadcast media you can use to market your business or products:
Television
Television advertising is a great way to reach a large, diverse audience. It’s especially popular with businesses that want to build brand awareness or launch a new product.
Every country has its own set of television networks. For instance, in the United States, some of the major TV networks include ABC, CBS, and NBC.
Some of the most popular television shows are:
- American Idol
- The Today Show
- The Price is Right
- Big Bang Theory
- Dancing with the Stars
Singapore is no exception. Some of the most popular TV networks in Singapore are:
- Channel 5
- Channel 8
- Starhub Cable Vision
- Mediacorp TV12
- AXN
Some of the most popular TV shows in Singapore are:
- Crazy Rich Asians
- The Mind of Mencia
- Doctor Who
- NCIS
When planning a television advertising campaign, you need to consider:
- Target Audience: Who is your target audience? What TV networks do they watch?
- Length of Campaign: How long do you want your campaign to run for?
- Production Costs: How much will it cost to produce the commercial? Will you be producing it in-house or hiring a professional?
- Airtime Costs: How much will it cost to air your commercial?
How Television Ads Work
You can purchase TV commercials as spots packages. Normally, a TV ad runs as a 30- or 60-seconds spot.
You start by preparing a TV commercial. That can be a simple as a short video clip or a more extended commercial to air during breaks.
Then, it would help if you found a TV network that will air your commercial. You can either negotiate a deal with a specific TV network or buy airtime from an advertising agency.
Alternatively, you can present the TV commercial and your budget to an advertising sales rep who will prepare a placement schedule and propose it to you. This schedule will tell you when your commercial will air and for how long.
If you approve the schedule, the rep will create a contract and send it to you for signature. Once you sign the contract, your commercial will start airing on TV.
When to Use TV Commercials
TV commercials are ideal when launching a new product, service, or business. It’s also helpful when building brand awareness.
You shouldn’t use TV ads if:
Your target audience doesn’t watch TV. Figure out where they are watching videos, and plan your campaign accordingly.
You have limited funds or time. A 30-second commercial can cost between $50 to $3500 for a single air.
Source
You want the Ad to Run Fast. TV ads take time to produce and air. So, it will be a while before you finalise everything and the ads start running.
Pros and Cons of TV Ads
Pros
- High-viewership Rates: With so many people watching TV, your ad has a high chance of being seen.
- Effective When Planned Correctly: TV ads work best if you know your target audience and when they typically watch television.
- The Ads Appear Automatically: No effort is required on the viewers’ side.
- Room for Creativity: You can use TV commercials to promote funny videos or exciting game shows. It allows for creative, shocking, and emotional ads that tug at your heartstrings.
- You Can Target Key Demographics: Marketers can research time blocks, dayparts, and the demographics that watch certain TV shows.
Cons
- You Can’t Control When People Watch: You can’t control when people choose to tune in. So, you have to schedule your TV commercial for a time when viewers are most likely to be watching TV.
- Costly: With the high production costs and airtime fees, TV commercials are almost unattainable for small businesses.
- Lengthy: It can take a while to produce and air a TV commercial. So, make sure you start planning well in advance.
So, what’s the verdict?
TV commercials are an effective way to reach a large audience. However, they are expensive and time-consuming to produce. It would be best to use them only when you clearly understand your target audience and when they typically watch TV.
Radio Advertisements
Radio is a great way to get your message out. One of the most popular radio networks in Singapore is SPH’s One FM 91.3.
With so many listeners tuning in every day, you can reach a massive audience with just a 30-minute commercial. And since most people listen while driving or commuting, it allows for seamless integration with your target audience.
How Radio Ads Work
Radio ads are great when you’re launching a new product or service. You can also use the radio to run updates about your company or introduce new products.
To prepare a radio ad, think about the message you want to convey and make sure it fits within 30 seconds to a minute. Radio ads tend to be short and snappy, so you should write with that in mind.
You can buy airtime from an advertising agency or directly from the radio network, just like TV ads. Prices vary depending on the number of listeners and factors such as local vs. national broadcasts.
However, it doesn’t cost as much as TV airtime, and you can usually get more airtime for your money.
When to Use Radio Ads
Radio ads are great for reaching a large audience quickly and easily. They’re perfect for launching new products or services and providing updates about your company.
Pros and Cons of Radio Ads
Pros
- Reach a Large Audience Quickly: With so many people listening to the radio, you can reach a large audience quickly and easily.
- Inexpensive: Radio advertising is much more affordable than TV ads.
- Easily Integrates with Other Media: Radio ads can be easily integrated with other forms of marketing, such as print ads, social media posts, or online videos.
- Vast Coverage: Radio networks often run at a national level, which gives you more extensive coverage.
- Ability to Reach Low-income Listeners: Radio is especially popular among low-income listeners.
Cons
- Mass Appeal: Radio ads can be heard by everyone and anyone. So, it’s harder to target your core demographic and improve the effectiveness of your ad.
- Short Attention Spans: People typically don’t spend too much time listening to the radio, usually while driving or commuting. So, it’s harder to pack lots of information into a 30-second commercial.
- Limited Creative Opportunities: Radio ads are great for informing people about your business, but not much else. You can’t use them to shock people or connect emotionally with the audience like you can with TV ads.
So, what’s the verdict?
Radio ads are great if you want to reach a large audience quickly and easily. They’re perfect for launching new products or services and providing updates about your company. You can integrate them with other forms of marketing, such as print ads, online videos, and social media posts.
Movies
Movies are a great way to promote your company or product. You can use them to build an emotional connection with the audience, generate word-of-mouth publicity, and create a sense of urgency.
There are two main ways to go about it when it comes to marketing movies: advertising and sponsorship.
Sponsorship/Product Placement
Sponsorship is when you partner with a movie studio to promote your product or company. In exchange, the studio features your product or logo in the film.
This type of marketing increases brand awareness and generates word-of-mouth publicity. However, it’s not as effective at driving sales as advertising is.
Advertising
Movie theatres run movies ads. You can run ads before, during, or after the movie. They’re great for building awareness about your brand and driving sales.
The downside is that they can be expensive, and it’s harder to target your core demographic.
When to Use Movies Ads
Movie placement or sponsorship ads are great when you have a huge budget and want to target large, multinational audiences. They’re especially effective at promoting new products and generating word-of-mouth promotion.
On the other hand, movie theatre ads are great when you want to reach an audience within a specific geo-location or when you’re advertising for something fun to do, like on weekends.
Pros
- Great Reach: With tens of millions of people going to the movies every week, you can reach a large audience quickly and easily.
- Creative Opportunities: You can make your ads creative and interesting to generate word-of-mouth publicity.
- Highly Targeted Market: People go to the movies because they want to be entertained or kill time. So, you can target people looking for fun things to do.
- Limited Distractions: People are typically engaged with the movie they’re watching, which means they’re more likely to pay attention to your ad.
- Targeted Geographic Area: You can target specific movie theatres based on their location.
Cons
- High Cost: Advertising in movie theatres can be expensive, especially if you want to run ads before, during, and after the movie.
- Short Duration: Ads typically only run for a few weeks.
- Limited Reach: Not everyone goes to the movies every week. So, your reach is limited compared to other forms of advertising.
Digital Media
Digital media is any form of communication that exists in a digital format. That includes websites, social media platforms, online videos, and email marketing.
A Brief History of Digital Media
Digital media was first introduced in the early 90s. However, it wasn’t until the late 2000s that it began to take off.
Today, over 4.66 billion people actively use the internet worldwide. And, that number is expected to increase to about 5 billion people by 2025.
Since digital is relatively new, it’s constantly evolving. That is good news for marketers because it means you’ll always have new digital marketing opportunities to harness.
That said, marketers need to be careful. There are a lot of digital platforms available, and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the options.
Email Marketing
Because email marketing is still one of the most effective ways to reach an audience, it’s one of the best digital media tools available.
Pros and Cons of Email Marketing
- Highly Targeted: With email marketing, you can easily target your core demographic or even specific types of users.
It can be segmented by location, age, gender, etc.
- Consistency: Email marketing is one of the few digital media options that allow you to target users consistently over time. That makes it highly effective at generating sales and improving ROI.
- Great for Branding: You can use email marketing to promote your brand’s personality. That builds brand loyalty and helps to create an emotional connection with your audience.
- Reach: Email marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach an audience.
- Easy to Use: Email marketing software is easy to use, even for beginners.
When to Use Email Marketing
Email marketing is an excellent tool for reaching a specific audience regularly. It’s also a great way to build brand loyalty and create an emotional connection with your customers.

A Brief History of SEO

Pros and Cons of SEO
Pros
Flexibility: SEO is highly flexible. You can implement them quickly, and the results are typically long-lasting.
SEO companies will work with you to develop a plan that’s tailored to your unique business goals. That makes it easy for them to switch things up as needed to generate new leads or increase company sales over time.
Cons

Can be Expensive: SEO can be expensive if you’re not careful. For this, you want to make sure you’re working with an experienced company that understands what they’re doing.
Social media marketing leverages social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to market a product or service.
A Brief History of Social Media Marketing
Social media marketing started in the early 2000s when Friendster and MySpace were popular. It didn’t really take off until the mid-2000s when Facebook was created.
The term “social media marketing” didn’t gain popularity until 2009, when it became clear that businesses could use social media to communicate with their followers and generate more revenue.
Today, social media marketing is one of the top ways for companies to reach their target audiences. It’s also one of the most effective ways to build brand awareness and create an emotional connection with customers.
How Social Media Marketing Works
