Discusses the state of direct marketing and what channels are available for companies to use direct marketing.

There are considerable challenges to direct marketing in Liberia due to limited internet penetration, limited and ineffective postal services, lack of electricity, and low literacy rates.  Mobile phone companies employ short message service (SMS) to market and advertise their products and services.  Other common methods include radio advertising, television advertising, billboards, loudspeaker announcements in commercial areas, and newspaper advertisements.
