The Benefits of Print Marketing
Print marketing is seen as old-fashioned, but as emails and online ads have taken over, print marketing has retained its trustworthiness and effectiveness as a marketing tool. Print media is the most trusted marketing channel, and consumers are much more likely to respond to direct mail over other forms of marketing.
Consumers Prefer Print Marketing
Print marketing is the most trusted marketing channel. Online advertising and emails are not seen as trustworthy or safe because of the prevalence of viruses, spam, and scams. When you open an email or click on an online banner ad, you don’t really know what you’re getting. Not only do you not know if you can trust online ads, but there are many more of them, with several ads shown on each page. Most marketing emails get sent straight to spam, and most other emails are deleted within seconds. With so much online marketing, consumers become immune to it, learning to ignore it and delete it as fast as possible.
78% of consumers prefer reading information on paper than on a screen. 72% of consumers also believe it is easier to read printed information, and 84% believe that they remember what they read better if it’s printed. This is in part because there are fewer distractions. Consumers can also take their time to read longer content anywhere they would like to, with 48% of consumers saving direct mail for future reference.
