1. PRINT IS TANGIBLE
Publications, brochures, posters and other types of printed materials are physical items. These items can stay in offices or homes for months or even years after they are received.
While many non-physical marketing materials are useful for a single purpose, the benefits of print media extend farther than most people think.
2. LESS PRINT, IS MORE FOR YOU
With more companies taking their marketing efforts online, the old has become new again as print media becomes the new trend.
But this isn’t your parents’ world of print media communications! Marketers have more information and data to make calculated decisions about content, consumption, consumers, and collateral types.
With this in mind, designing and sharing a great printed marketing piece should be high on your list of strategic marketing initiatives.
3. PRINT ESTABLISHES YOUR BRAND
Marketers know the significance of having a well recognized brand, and printed publications and other branded materials are an excellent way to establish your brand.
It allows you to bring the aesthetic qualities of font, colors, images and texture that helps to establish brand recognition.
4. PRINT IS MORE ENGAGING
Websites are often skimmed in as little as 15 seconds per visit. When a customer or prospect reads a printed material, they are more engaged for a longer period of time. On average, a consumer spend 43 minutes reading a magazine.
5. PRINT IS CREDIBLE
Like the feeling you get when you see The New York Times or your favorite magazine on the rack, there is something to be said about the feeling of legitimacy that comes from print.
You are able to put the printed piece down and comeback at any time to resume your reading. And print media requires “real estate”.
6. PRINT HELPS YOU REACH YOUR TARGET MARKET
The design and placement of your company ads in publications, newspapers and magazines can help you reach your target audience, whether it be a niche market or the general public.
By leveraging the data of demographics, you are able to strategically place your brand in the right place at the right time, in front of the right audience.
