All the news that’s fit to print – April 2017

Changing Tides - April 2017

With the proliferation of electronic media and especially social media, there is an avalanche of content circulating our inboxes that is neither news or useful. 20 years ago, we called it Junk Mail. Today our traditional mailbox is much lighter with the reduction in printed publications and advancement of electronic bill paying and email.

This year we are having great success with printed materials that are mailed or hand distributed at events. There are three reasons print is working so well.

  1. Printed mailers stand out in a near empty mailbox. Getting noticed is always job #1.
  2. Printed materials are easier to keep top of desk and more difficult to delete, especially if they are relevant and well done.
  3. The premium cost of print reduces its usage and ups its importance. Because of this, printed mailings are reserved for those announcements and promotions which are more important. Print is only used for the news that’s fit to print.

Is digital dead? Hardly, however for important messages, promotions and announcements we recommend adding print to mix. And in many situations, it kicks off the campaign.
