Don’t Leave Print Advertising In the Dust

Marketers talk a lot about keeping up with trends and staying ahead of the curve, which is, without a doubt, utterly important. But, at the same time it’s important that we don’t lose sight of older marketing trends and strategies that may not be new and shiny, but certainly haven’t yet kicked the bucket.

For example, there’s no doubt digital has taken over and will continue to take over with new digital trends and strategies emerging left and right, but that doesn’t mean print marketing is dead. It’s actually far from it. In a recent survey on consumer’s attitudes towards print advertising, 40% of consumers said they were more likely to shop at a retailer that sends them printed advertising than one that doesn’t.

There’s no question that marketers and business owners need to stay on top of new trends, but the lesson here is that jumping from one trend to another leaving the last one in the dust may not always be the smartest move. Sometimes differing strategies can complement one another and drive engagement and response rates. A company that advertises on Google, YouTube, and various social media platforms can send personalized direct mail as well and find themselves with a much greater response than a solely digital strategy would have granted.
