Printed leaflet – these cost on average $150 per 1,000 including artwork, so if you want to market something different the following month, you need to pay for additional artwork set up.

Newspaper or magazine advertisements- these costs vary enormously, due to many contributing factors, including circulation and your niche. But a good position around the “thumb position” on the right hand page would certainly cost in the region of $700 per month. Limitations – limited space to get your message across, once people read the paper or magazine it’s is then put in the bin.

expensive.
Internet – You need to get your website created, optimized and then on to Google’s first page, this way you should get your share of the visitors. This could be achieved for around $500, but you would have to pay for regular Search Engine Optimization are around $300 per month to main the First Page position.

Digital Signage locations.
One of the main criteria is getting the location right for your digital signage, in you are putting signage into a mall, near the entrance is a good location, however if you are installing outdoor digital signage, you have to ensure that the area has a high “foot traffic” (people passing), if the area is un -manned such as on a train station, you will need to consider an outdoor signage enclosure, these are special cases that protect the signage hardware from vandalism as well as the weather.
