It is easy to rely too much on email marketing
It is quick, cheap and simple. The trouble is that it is also easy to get wrong and easy for recipients to ignore.
You may have heard of this really effective way of marketing to prospects: it’s called print…
- Here’s why print marketing works for printing companies
- You stand out from your competitors because (sadly) not many printing companies use print to market themselves
- Your prospects are far more likely to read your marketing because they are not used to receiving print: it stands out
- It is an excellent way to show off your design and print skills, and any special finishing capabilities that you have
- Most importantly, it shows that you have faith in what you are selling
There are numerous research reports that show how effective print is. I am always surprised at how few printing companies use it.
