Available media vehicles
Broadcast Vehicles
Television vehicles include networks such as ABC, Cannel 7, Channel 9, Channel 10, SBS and FOX. Typically, small businesses can't advertise on the national network, but they often advertise on local network affiliate stations. You can also choose from hundreds of more niche cable networks, such as Lifetime, E! or CNN. Radio is often more practical for small businesses. You normally have an array of vehicles in a local market that have various formats, such as pop music, country music and talk shows.
Print Vehicles
Newspapers are another prominent small-business class because of relatively low ad costs. Community newspapers can reach a local audience. Many small businesses also have access to state or regional publications. Magazines aren't quite as accessible for local companies. However, some regions have local magazines that offer entertainment, community events and themed topics. Even a local magazine ad can cost a few thousand dollars, but magazine vehicles normally reach a very niche audience.
Digital Vehicles and Others
The other major traditional media class is online, or digital/interactive. This class includes thousands of online vehicles, a
Billboards
A billboard (also called a hoarding in the UK and many other parts of the world) is a large outdoor advertising structure (a billing board), typically found in high-traffic areas such as alongside busy roads. Billboards present large advertisements to passing pedestrians and drivers. Typically showing large, ostensibly witty slogans, and distinctive visuals, billboards are highly visible in the top designated market areas.
The largest standard-size billboards, known as Bulletins, are located primarily on major highways, expressway
viewed principally by residents and commuter traffic, with some pedestrian exposure.
