Why Is Print Marketing Still Important In A Digital Age? The dominance of the internet nowadays is something that simply cannot be ignored. If companies are to be successful, they need to have an effective website and a strong online presence. Nevertheless, do not make the mistake of believing this means you should ignore other forms of marketing. The services that are offered by a high-quality company are still extremely beneficial, and it would be somewhat naïve to ignore them.

Benefits Of Print Over Online Marketing First and foremost, it is imperative to acknowledge that print marketing holds certain benefits over online advertising, and these are advantages you will certainly want to profit from. The main one is the fact that print items are tangible. With tangibility comes the ability for print to provoke people to engage with the written content, far more so than their digital counterpart. If someone takes the time to pick up a magazine or brochure and spend time engaging with it, they are far more likely to be inspired and take action upon what they have read. When a leaflet or a catalogue is posted through your front door, you can pick it up and place it on the coffee table. You can then look through it at a time that is convenient for you. You cannot do this with online marketing. Unless you make the effort to click on the advertisement and bookmark the page, it is unlikely that you will ever go back to it. And how many people can honestly say they bookmark a significant number of pages because of banners?

Targeting Your Campaign: In addition to this, another key benefit related to print marketing is the fact it provides you with the ability to target your advertising campaign. You can be selective about where your brochures and such like are delivered. Print circulations as a whole may be down globally, however this does mean on a positive side there is a highly engaged readership which can only be a positive trait for advertisers and marketeers worldwide. For example, if you sell healthy food, you may wish to have your adverts in the form of posters and leaflets displayed in a gym. You cannot control your target advertising audience like this with the online world. You want to reach people where they are and that’s why print is so powerful!

Print Versus Digital Advertising: There are misconceptions around the cost of digital and print marketing. Firstly most believe print ads are far more expensive than digital but in reality the gap is far smaller than you may think. There is strong evidence to suggest consumer engagement with print is far higher than digital advertising and content. Whilst online, readers are likely to be multitasking between different pages whether its social media, the news, emails etc. thus their engagement and retention levels are going to be lower than someone solely engaged with a magazine article without the other distractions. Print is undoubtedly a trusted and tangible medium that has stood the test of time since its creation, although it has evolved and transitioned due to advances in technology it has without doubt remained a key element of todays world. The key to marketing success is to have a good mix of both online and offline methods. PrintUK.com

Have you heard about the The Chatty Café scheme? Squire’s Garden Centres is one of the latest companies to join this scheme. The Chatty Café is a great way of encouraging people to talk to others. The scheme is the brainchild of Alexandra Hoskyn, who founded it after a miserable day at a supermarket café with her infant son, where she noticed that no one was talking to each other. She found that by simply putting ‘Chatter & Natter’ signs on tables in cafes it created a space for people to talk. Alexandra Hoskyn, Founder of The Chatty Café said, “The Chatty Café is thrilled to welcome Squire’s to our scheme. Their lovely café bars are a perfect setting for Chatter & Natter tables. Anyone can join in and chat over a coffee – if you’re on your own, in a couple, with a friend, young people, old people and anyone in between. It’s just about having good old fashioned human interaction and the relaxed environment of Squire’s Café Bars will hopefully allow for lots of happy chatting!” Sarah Squire, Chairman of Squire’s Garden Centres commented, “In this age of social media it’s so important to make an effort to talk to others face to face. So for those who would like a bit of real social interaction simply sit at a ‘Chatter & Natter’ table at Squire’s and you can talk to other customers. I believe a short conversation with another human can really brighten your day. Everyone’s welcome, and it’s a great way to meet people in your local community.” There will be Chatter & Natter tables every Tuesday morning at all sixteen of Squire’s Café Bars, plus other days throughout the week too - simply look out for the signs on the tables. www.thechattycafe.co.uk www.squiresgardencentres.co.uk

Sorry folks... tis the season for glitter!! Here are some great ideas for getting the family together to create your own little bit of Christmas! All you need is gold, silver or white spray paint (adult use only), Christmas wrapping paper, red ribbon, old Christmas cards, glue, glitter, wire ties (eg. as used on sandwich bags) and any other bit and pieces that you have lying around!

Surrey has some fantastic woodland footpaths and parks, get wrapped up and enjoy a walk in the fresh air. In between rushing around burning off energy the kids can collect fir cones, twigs and bare branches (gloves might be a sensible precaution). Fir cones look fabulous sprayed gold, once dry dab a bit of pva glue on its edges and, holding it over a container, sprinkle on the glitter. Tie a red ribbon around the top and make it into a loop and let them hang their fir cone decoration on the tree. Place six twigs in two triangle shapes and fix in place with wire ties. Place one triangle on top of the other and turn the top 90 degrees to form a star and again use ties to keep in place. Paint or spray white, gold etc, dab on glue and apply the dreaded glitter if wanted or attach baubles with the ties, tie on a gift tag with your child’s name... get creative! Once finished, tie a loop of ribbon through the top and hang up in pride of place! Small bare branches with children’s decorations hanging on them can look fantastic! Paint or spray if you wish and find a suitable container and place to stand it in. Hang on the baubles!

Bunting looks really cute but can be expensive. Using wrapping paper or old Christmas cards let the kids make their own! Cut out a long triangle template in cardboard and draw round it on the back of either Christmas paper or old cards. Cut out the triangles (kid’s crinkly scissors are brilliant for this!) and with the paper ones fold the top over your string or ribbon, trim the corners and glue or staple in place. With the card ones you can use a hole punch and thread the string or ribbon through. Use plain card and your older children can spell out their names in bubble writing...one decorated letter per triangle for a really personal touch.

Whether its scribbly, daubed, exuberant or precise there’s nothing like childrens art! When making cards the trick is to keep the art away from the card itself until the last minute! Cut out stars, Christmas trees, angels, baubles etc in card and let them loose with felt tips, crayons, paint, tissue paper etc. (not good at drawing? Download some shapes from the internet - Activity Village is a good source) Once the artist has finished glitter can be applied. Glue a square of thickish card on the back, fold an A4 or A5 piece of card in half, apply glue to the square of card and stick it on to the front, or arrange one from each child. Cut a piece of paper, fold and fit as leaves inside the card for messages and names...once complete run glue down either side of the fold and stick into the card. Enjoy!
