Azerbaijan - Trade Promotion and AdvertisingAzerbaijan - Trade Promotion
Advertising in Azerbaijan is primarily carried out through television, radio, newspapers, and billboards. Internet advertising is growing, especially through social media, but does not have the same audience as it does in countries with greater computer ownership. Outdoor billboards are widely used in urban centers for advertising and trade promotions. Outdoor advertising for tobacco and alcohol products is prohibited. Newspapers in Azerbaijani and Russian are published daily, except Sunday, and English-language papers are published weekly.
Newspapers are widely read and provide an effective means to reach Azerbaijani consumers with disposable income. Television advertising is possible on state-run and private national TV networks. There are popular private FM radio stations as well. There are numerous Baku-based trade shows and exhibitions that provide opportunities to market U.S. goods and services.
