You question depends heavily on the product/service. Normally tv, print, radio, and Internet advertising are combined into an effective media plan, this is called a media mix. One mode is seldom, if ever, used alone in an advertising campaign.
There is no way to tell which one is more effective with so few details (no details actually).
Tv is best for cars
Radio is best for most local services
Print is best for fashion
These are generalities. As I said above, only one mode is almost never used. Word of mouth is also great, but it is not a controllable medium, although it is free!
On Sex: Using sex appeals is a creative strategy, not a mode of advertising. |

according to the industry, it would be sex. doesn't matter what you want to sell, throw a half naked woman in there and BOOM sales..... it's sad and degrading for woman and shows men as being complete idiots |

It would depend on what your product is, but viral marketing and word-of-mouth are a great way for advertising.
Word of mouth can be free, but can be a negative asset if a client is not satisfied with a product or service.
Viral marketing may not be free, but it can be cheap and have a high ROI. As an example, checkout Burger Kings subservient chicken web site (http://www.subservientchicken.com/). The only expense would be to make the flash application. The creator sent it out in an email to other coworkers in the agency and forward it to others if they liked it. One of my marketing books reported that it had a hit rating the first day of a million people, 46 million at the end of the week, and 385 million at the end of nine months. It also reported that the average user spent six minutes on the website interacting with the brand. Not bad. You would need a good idea, something meaningful, or something funny or unique that gained and maintained viewers attention and may have to pay someone to create it. |

If you refer to wedding photography:
word of mouth
you want the words to come from the mouth of workers in bridal shops, tux rental stores and satisfied newly weds.
A sample of your work shown to retailers in above shops, personal contact and networking constantly! It is time consuming but the least expensive and I think the most effective. |

The most effective, is the most expensive.
Television.
Unfortunately its difficult to afford. Business analysts suggest a mix of media to start with. If you can afford it, mix print with radio. |

Sex sells. That has been proven by the media. However, if you all ready know that but you more mean commercials versus online adds and stuff like, um. . . . I think TV commercials would be your best bet. Online adds are great, but there's just SO MANY of them.
Though actually, I must agree with the others here, I know of a lot of successful businesses that just rely on word of mouth. You save TONS of money that way. |

no matter what you are selling getting a pretty girl in the picture is always a plus, you either imply that you will have this girls company if you use the product. in the end sex will sell everything except bibles |

The most effective form of advertising for me is through the people's tongue. The words that pass from mouth to mouth. You can do that by giving out free samples/taste of your product and if it's really good, rest assured that more people will know about it. |

Word of mouth. If people like the product/service you offer they will tell their friends and it will start a pyramid effect. The best advertising is having the best product/service |
