I'd like to run a general poll on marketing mediums.

What mediums have worked on you, both as a consumer and a business owner?

Please vote.

In other words, if you ever found a company via Direct Mail and bought something, check the box.

Check all the mediums that led you to a later sale.

I'm curious what the forum users have found effective -- leading to actual sales -- or not effective.

Feel free to comment, or add your thoughts.
