When determining how to distribute a message,you should choose the method that is most convenient for the audience.

Cost and convenience must be carefully balanced. Cost isn't a concern for most messages, but for multiple copies of lengthy reports or multimedia productions, it might well be. Weigh the cost and the benefits before you decide. Be sure to consider the nonverbal message you send regarding cost as well. Overnight delivery of a printed report could look responsive in one instance and wasteful in another, for example.
