Mongolians advertise through social media, newspapers and magazines, radio, TV, cell phones, billboard displays, and sports and entertainment sponsorships.  Almost every household in Ulaanbaatar (over 50 percent of Mongolia's consumer market) has smart phones, TVs, and radios.  In addition, cellular service is available in almost every part of the country, allowing cellular advertisements to reach all but the most remote corners.  There are many advertising companies in Mongolia.  The Mongolian National Chamber of Commerce and Industry holds annual spring and autumn trade shows with participants from around Mongolia, Russia, China, and Korea.

Two caveats about advertising

  1. In the United States, companies can deduct the cost of advertising as a legitimate business expense.  Mongolia limits deduction of advertising costs to five percent of gross profits — no matter how much a company spends on advertising.
  2. The Law on Advertising of Mongolia restricts the kind of information that may be presented.  For example, advertisers must not “tarnish the honor of Mongolia,” promote alcohol or tobacco products, or directly compare products in their ads.
