National Newspapers

Advantages

A very popular form of advertising. There are many newspapers to choose from. Can target the adverts at the readership profile of the paper. Visual impact-often in colour is effective. Can include a lot of information about the product/service.

Disadvantages

Still expensive, especially the main tabloid newspapers. No use of sound or video to show the product/service. Full page adverts in colour are very expensive and only large business will be able to afford them.
