Thoughts on print advertising in a digital world.
You’ve heard it said, “Print advertising is dead!” But is this true? Is print marketing still relevant in 2023, or has it gone the way of the dodo? I’m exploring print design today and providing my thoughts on the “extinct” marketing strategy that is print.
It's 2023 and the world is rapidly changing each day. Technology has advanced, tastes of consumers have evolved, and marketing strategies are constantly evolving to keep up with these trends.
One question that business owners should be asking themselves is: Is print advertising still relevant in this digital age?
On one hand, there is an increasing concern that traditional forms of advertising such as print ads will become increasingly obsolete in the coming years. But on the other hand, it could be argued that the physical presence of a printed advertisement still has its uses when it comes to attracting attention or delivering brand messaging.
Personally, I've seen many businesses benefit (and some thrive!) from print advertising. In my opinion, there are still plenty of valid reasons to use print advertising in our digital world today.
But how should you use print today and what are the advantages of print over digital marketing? In this blog post I'll explore why print advertising might still be a viable option for your business in 2023.
