Advertising
Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service.
Print Advertising:

“Advertising comes in many forms from billboard and television commercials to newspaper and web ads. Print advertising is the term used for any type of advertising on physical paper. Newspaper or magazine ads, brochures, flyers, newsletters, postcards, and booklets are all considered print advertising. Even business cards, promotional folders, and any other imprinted business literature are advertising material because all contain company information and are distributed to clients.
An advertising campaign needs to be consistent in every media. The message to be delivered has to be the same but the way you deliver it is going to be different since you are dealing with different types of media to promote your company and products.
Online marketing campaings are important but you still need to produce printed marketing campaigns for the best results. Even online businessess could benefit from print advertising because of the ability to reach clients who may never be exposed to the company page when online. The bottom line: the more avenues of advertising a company uses, the better the results.
Online Advertising:

Ad banners combine the benefits of broadcast, print, and direct mail advertising, making them a great tool both for branding and for driving transactions.
Online advertising is an effective marketing tool to use as a direct relation with customers. Such advertising is becoming all the more relevant because now-a-days companies have resorted to doing business online in addition to their traditional way of doing business in real markets.
