Print and digital both offer advantages for your business. Print media gives different experiences including memorable content and a chance to build trust with customers.

Use color psychology in both print and digital media. It stands out because customers are less distracted by print media. Your customers have a very high chance of remembering visual content in print media.

In digital media, even the best color theory is less effective. The tactile nature of physical mail, as well as the other visual attributes, help your print ads stand out.

Customers trust print ads more than any other marketing channel. Consumers turn to print media far more often than turning to digital media. With this in mind, it’s essential to rely on this and other advantages of print advertising.
