Why Print Marketing is Still Relevant in the Age of Social Media

What comes to mind when you hear the word “marketing”? Do you think of Instagram? Tik Tok? Facebook? Your website? In our digital age, we often get lost in ways to beat the algorithm and boost our social media presence, forgetting to consider what came before social media and the web: print marketing. Print marketing includes menus, coupons, business cards, your logo, and banners. All of these items can help boost your brand visibility by giving customers a physical connection to your company.

Print marketing allows for a highly targeted approach. By carefully selecting where and how your materials are distributed, you can reach your specific audience effectively. Whether it's through direct mail campaigns, local advertising, or trade show materials, print allows you to tailor your message to resonate with the right demographic.

Consistency in branding across all platforms is crucial for brand recognition. Print materials serve as tangible reminders of your brand's identity. When designed thoughtfully and in alignment with your brand's aesthetics, they reinforce brand visibility and strengthen brand recall among your audience.
 
Printed materials often carry a sense of authority and trustworthiness. In an international survey of over 10,700 consumers by research company Toluna in 2017, researchers found that “consumers prefer to read the printed version of books (72%), magazines (72%) and newspapers/news (55%) over digital options.” Well-designed print pieces can position your company as reliable and established in the eyes of potential customers. This credibility can be a decisive factor in converting leads into loyal clients.
