English term or phrase: numbers in ads
To all Norwegian translators,

Are numbers always spelled in Norwegian or is it acceptable to use numerical format in advertising?

Norwegian translation:Numbers if short form is used
Explanation:
I normally follow the source here, especially if there are limits to how long the segments can be. Advertising often has a shorter form than regular text, and if this is of essence in the text, I would use the numbers, if not, I might spell out the lower numbers (up to twelve).
