Print still exists. Companies shouldn’t ignore it to communicate their presence on the market, to promote their brand, product and/or service.

The place of print in the world of communication

Although social networks have become the preferred communication medium for brands, print still occupies a predominant place in advertising. It has always existed, even if we think that it is unable to compete with the web, and is gradually declining.

The battle against the web is a complex one, but the evolution of graphic design technology has enabled it to hold its own. What’s more, there’s no need to fight the web. These two advertising methods can work together to represent a brand.

There are several possibilities available to companies: business cards, flyers, brochures, leaflets, posters, etc.

So any company that wants to raise its profile should not neglect this communication medium. Print is just as effective as the web in reaching a large number of potential customers.

Why use print to communicate a brand?

Print has a number of advantages:

  • It’s easy to store and remember.
  • Thanks to its innovation and evolution, the use of this medium demonstrates a brand’s creativity and professionalism.
  • Whether for B2B or B2C, print works perfectly for effective and influential advertising. Needless to say, it’s essential to define your target audience clearly if you want to win them over.
  • It can be used to enhance a company’s visual identity. It’s an effective and ideal way of promoting a product or service.
  • It is possible, and totally advisable, to combine the two modes of communication that seem to be at war: print and web. Combining these two means means attracting more customers. Including websites and social network accounts can make potential customers want to find out more about the brand.

How can you use this traditional communication medium effectively?

Print is an exciting means of communication that manages to impress targets of all ages. All you need is a good imagination and an adequate budget to use it properly.

To help companies make effective use of this type of advertising, innovative and captivating ideas are on offer. Professionals offer their services to add a personal touch to the medium. So you can easily communicate your brand, whatever the format, shape, design or colour of the print you choose.

However, it’s important to choose the right advertising medium to reach your target audience effectively. Although the business card is an essential means of promoting your visual identity, it is not advisable to distribute it to the general public (in the street, for example). Flyers and leaflets are best suited to this situation.
