The purpose of this study was to determine the most popular fashion advertising channel for reaching target markets.A three-pronged summative content analysis of internet resources, popular press books, and academic textbooks was used to address the objectives. In total, 194 different advice points were collected from the searches conducted via Google articles, popular press books, and marketing textbooks.The ten frequently mentioned advertising advice points from the three areas of data collection were social media, websites, blogs, email advertising, influencers, videos, mobile applications, TV ads, search engine optimization, and Facebook page. This research sought to identify the advice a fashion entrepreneur can access when researching effective advertising channels. As a result, these findings can provide a solid starting point to creating an advertising strategy.
