EVERY BUSINESS needs to advertise to maintain and grow their client base as their will always be attrition - it's just a case of where will your advertising dollar work for you the best...

In my experience....

Community newspaper/Radio: perfect for the sleeping customer, readers tend to be parents and 50+
Social Media: ideal for Native advertising - building trust with informative and interesting posts
Online: a heaving beast that is still evolving, using safe and premium environments is a must. Branding and performance campaigns depending on the objectives, can track

Some important questions for any business:
Q1: Who is my target market
Q2: Where do they look
Q3: What is my budget
q4: What is a successful campaign (sales, clicks, website traffic, awareness etc)

The best practice is to view advertising & marketing as an investment and treat it as such - repetition = reputation!
