In general, which form of advertising/marketing do you think is the most effective?

Personally I would go for internet ads because most of the times I am always on the internet browing and surfing and that is where I get to see what interest me and then patronise. Another is the targeted app that the billboards don't have as it just directed to the generality of the population unlike internet ads. Today I get ads from exchange site wanting to sell/ buy bitcoin because of my activities on the internet compared to someone showing me cloths on billboard or drinks that have no relevance to my life.

It really depends on the ad's intention. I think billboards and TV commercials are more geared towards the somewhat older crowd, as you usually don't see them use computers and or smartphones. That's why most automotive advertisements are on billboards.

When talking about cryptocurrency exchanges and services though, internet ads are definitely more effective, as the service and experience takes place on the internet anyway, and you'd definitely want your users to be able to access your service immediately that's why they use links.

Online advertising is the best way for the modern business , everyone come online now days and search it n google if he want anything . in this case google sometimes showing related search results that is paid ads . Online advertising Is A Long-Term Strategy ,We use Internet all time .
Online Advertising Can Create A Big Fan-Base, Companies creates fan pages on Social media and the advertise a lot.  One more benefit Online Advertising Can Help You Reach A Better Kind Of Customer We can solve the problem over the social media platforms.

Google is earned $75 billion in 2015 year. And if we combine all the company earning what will be the total?

Internet ads because it easy here to read and to get attention of many people all around the world,Think billboards,signs and tv commercials it's only for their country.You can see crypto like that and it's the example of internet ads most of the user here are find this in social site,internet ads or etc. And here we only need to post with no big money involve to do advertise.

It's hard to answer your question, it mostly depends what you are going to advertise and how big are your budget.
In my opinion, internet ads are the most effective if you know what is your targeted audience and you choose right targeting tools like gender, age, location and etc.
TV commercials are expensive, especially if you want to advertise on prime time. And I highly doubt that is very effective, because many people just switch TV channel when commercial starts, they go to kitchen or toilet meanwhile.
Bilboards and signs are best if you are selling something - you can inform about discounts, special offers. Don't sure how efdective it is. But when it comes to cryptocurrencies (and internet stuff in general), I don't think it's good idea to advertise on bilboards.

Depends on what you are marketing and to whom do you want to market that towards. For example anything g crypto related is best marketed via internet ads as cryptos need internet and people using cryptos are going to use internet so you have got yourself the perfect audience. On other hand if you are marketing a food product it's best market via TV ads.

After recently taking a road-trip with a relative, I've actually come to realise the power of Billboard advertising. As we were driving along, he would really make a point of reading the billboards out aloud and sometimes it would even ignite a discussion between us. It was after the 3rd or 4th time that I realised the affect that the Billboards had. Up until then I had always thought of them as an old-fashioned useless piece of advertising, but I guess I was mistaken. Tv commercials are a time for toilet-breaks and making cups of tea, and internet ads are predictable and annoying. A recent study I read did point out the affects of well concealed text advertising on the internet, but banners are becoming very unpopular.

billboard advertising. why? because you can't ad-block that  :P

Lol, exactly!

In many instances Internet advertising is more promptly be most effective among those two because of wide range and faster dissemination of information for a seconds that is mobilised because of mobile phone adaptation. Next would be Tv commercial but only limited on household settings and Billboards & signage are not really a cost effective way of marketing.

A week ago I would totally agree with your opinion of Billboard advertising. There is a reason that it has withstood the test of time. I doubt McDonalds would have lifted off the ground without them, and 50 years on they are huge users of the billboard ads, and there is a good reason for it.

As this new era, it changed a lot. McDonald’s is popular not only because of that kind of advertising but accumulation of tv ads and now social media strategy. Don’t get me wrong, I do understand what you mean but my opinion is based on the current standing and not on 50 years span time. But you were right that it bring company like McDonald’s for what it is now. But Past is different from the present and surely also in the future.

Yap although it is expensive their are still businesses who is still advertising on TV. And mcdonals is a global business so those ads is just like a penny to them. Now adays radio and newspaper for me is not that influential. I also see social media ads and even youtube videos especially these new altcoins. I often see some and it is where i notice them and search their site.

Agreed and I think the advertising that one chooses should be totally unique to the situation. Just don't completely disregard billboard advertising as an effective avenue.  ;)

I want to be the odd one out.  ;D ....The best advertisement is the method that targets your market directly at the lowest

possible price. Let's take Signature campaigns on this forum for instance.... It targets potential Bitcoin customers directly

at a relative low budget.  ;D .... The methods mentioned are more expensive and it targets random people.  :P   

TV commercials are the most effective way of advertising before not until internet has conquered almost everything.

I'm not familiar with the pricing of billboards and signs but I think it's not that cheap as internet ads. And the most expensive one is tv commercials and this is how television network companies are earning.

To the countries that aren't innovated yet the most effective are TV commercials and billboards and signs but to generalize it internet ads is the best and most effective.

Billboard and television advertising wont really be cheap at all and thinking off that advertising cryptos or bitcoin is still debatable on this matter because even if television advertisements are cheap if government wont allow it then we cant do anything about it but there are still best ways which most people are mentioning here where internet advertisements would be more effective since most people spend their time on net.

Well said.

You don't have to generalize that government will not allow to advertise something's related to bitcoin.

TV networks are into profit so they would receive a great advertiser if it's willing to pay depending on their contract and besides there's no indicated noun on OP's question if it's bitcoin related or not.

And we all agree that internet advertising is the most effective.

To make it become effective, you need to target a placed where you can get more audience. So yes it will depend on what type of thing that will be put on advertisement. There are things that not meant for online ads , so is for public ads that you can see on streets and national highway.

Which one is most effective? Try to analyzed first by doing brainstorm on which is the best placed to put an ads on your preferred subject. You might want to try signs or billboards for beta testing then if you see it was effective then you can consider putting it online to see if it will gain more boost or just stick to the first one.

But in terms of cost, I see it's more expensive if you will placed an ads on public places plus it has restrictions and guidelines to follow unlike in online ads where you can have lots of options for cheap price.

A good example of well directed advertising:

Amazon advertising their audio books on a podcast application.

You just can't get any more direct than that.

The most effective means of advertising fully depends on your target market.
