Without further ado, let’s dive into the wide range of media channels to advertise in Canada:
1. Advertising in Canadian Newspapers and Magazines
Print media is an important part of a well rounded marketing mix. For example Newspapers can provide you a lot of opportunities, while magazines helps you to connect with the targeted or specific audience.
The repetition of print advertisement means if you decide to display it more than once targeted audience will see it again and again. This will increase the brand awareness each time your advertisement is run. If this print media is used as a part of the integrating marketing campaign then these ads can drive business to your ads.
Magazines have their own advantages and they are as following:
Mostly magazines are read by highly specific audiences because there are specific magazines for various topics.
People hold magazines longer than newspapers which make possibility to see your advertisement more than once.
Magazines designs are more captivating than newspapers. Magazines typically have glossy finishes and full colour for strong creative design.
Magazines also represent status: Some of the magazines are well respected in their field, So the advertisement in these magazines increase the prestige by the association.

2. Advertising on TV in Canada
According to a recent study by Ball State University on the media consumption habits of average Americans, despite the Internet’s steady rise in popularity over the last few years, television remains the dominant medium in most households.
Advertising on local stations and on cable television in Canada can be surprisingly affordable if you understand how to purchase inventory. Some of the advantages to advertising your small business on television include the following:
TV reaches a much larger audience than local newspapers and radio stations, and it does so during a short period of time.
It reaches viewers when they’re the most attentive.
It allows you to convey your message with sight, sound, and motion, which can give your business, product, or service instant credibility.
It gives you an opportunity to be creative and attach a personality to your business, which can be particularly effective for small businesses that rely on repeat customers.
3. Advertising on Radio in Canada
Radio advertising offers you the opportunity to deliver a simple yet powerful message to a targeted group of consumers that may be interested in your product or service. Radio advertising allows you to deliver a short and powerful message to your target audience.
4. Programmatic Advertising in Canada
Programmatic advertising is one of the fastest growing forms of media buying in Canada. Put very simply, programmatic is the process buying digital advertising space automatically with computers that use data to decide which ads to buy and how much to pay for them, typically in real time.
The primary benefit of programmatic is the ability to personalize and automate media buys to make ads more relevant for consumers. Factors might include target interests we are trying to reach, on what kind of day, at what scale and on what devices. We review demographic and behaviors based on an individual’s internet consumption habits over time.
