Forum Contains No New Posts Traditional Advertising Techniques
It has been the successful way to reach the most people as possible. National/Network TV, Local TV, AM/FM Radio, Print publications like Newspapers, Magazines, Phone books etc.

Turning point is here as the Electronic presence is solidifying and people using it is increasing.

Will traditional advertising modify and maintain their presence or shrink to the point where it simply will not be effective anymore?
