    "Best" is all about exposure: Dollars per number of people who see or hear the ad.

    It will be best to identify what you can afford to spend on advertising, then seek out the venue where that amount will get you the most number of people who see or hear it.

    Our company has done direct mail and TV advertising for over 7 years now. The TV adds have really worked well for us. ( but direct mail did great too for many years, but for number of calls for dollar spent, the TV has really done well

    Wow, Chuck. Your church can afford TV advertising?

    Around here TV advertising is unbelievably expensive. I've got several things I'd love to get advertised on TV but nothing that can afford it :o

    I think it depends on your target market. Research what is best for your business. What is cost effective, etc.
