Why printing remains an essential service in 2021


The invention of the printing press back in 1440 was a ground-breaking development that changed the world in many ways. Among other benefits, it made learning, record-keeping, and communication a lot easier than it had been. Even trade was simplified. 





Several centuries - and many supposedly superior technologies - later, the printed word is still as popular as ever. That’s because the reading experience cannot be replicated any other way. As a result, Print marketing remains a highly effective way to promote products and services.





Print marketing allows people to disconnect from technology and enjoy some time away from their phones, laptops, and other devices. It is a refreshing escape in this digital-obsessed world as it gives your customers the chance to unplug and really digest your marketing.





Combining your Print and digital marketing strategies for marketing success





Printed products are still used every day in nearly all industries, from legal and finance to education and healthcare. More recently, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, in the form of COVID-19 prevention and awareness Posters and social distancing safety guidelines. 





Supermarkets are making use of printed social distancing markers and estate agents now use “virtual tour” Booklets that remove the need for an open house where prospective home buyers gather in a place, risking infection.





Handing out Flyers and Business Cards aren’t encouraged during this Covid pandemic. So you may say, why can’t I just ditch Print marketing and leverage my digital assets for my marketing? You could, but for the best results, you are better off combining your solid online presence with a strategic Print marketing campaign. QR Codes, for example, allow you to connect your customers with your website and social media accounts by simply scanning their smartphones on a printed poster.
The marketing challenges caused by the Covid pandemic demand that you get really creative with your marketing. To explore ways you can combine your Print and digital marketing strategies, contact Minuteman Press Alberton today.
