All media is suitable for mobile advertising. You cannot look at mobile advertising on a stand alone basis! It must be considered as a key part of your overall marketing strategy.The main advantage of mobile advertising is that it allows you to integrate and tie all your other online or offline advertising channels together.

One advantage is the media buying power an agency is capable of having and handing on down to a client.

Direct sales is basically word of mouth advertising. If you recommend a good mechanic or a specific brand of toothpaste that is direct sales, if you get paid or not. The advantage for a business is it can be the most powerful form of advertising there is and the least expensive form as well. The advantage for a consumer is that someone you personally know recommended a good service or product so you are less likely to fall for some crafty advertising trick and waist your money. I sell for a direct sales company and have found they pay much better than traditional sales businesses due to no advertising and retail expenses.
