Traditional advertising is costly, whether it is print media in magazines, newspapers, brochures, poster or flyers, or video or audio media like television or radio or even online media like banners, pop-ups and the like. The truth is that you cannot advertise any business in print media, and you can just advertise any business through audio or video media either.
