Press and Print Advertising remains a strong marketing strategy for many business owners.
Traditional press advertising in newspapers, magazines, directories and trade publications often require your business to be listed amongst your toughest competitors, with a very high risk of being overlooked. So your advertising has a zero percent chance of succeeding if your target audience doesn’t notice it!
Grabbing the readers attention is everything in press advertising. You need creativity, visual impact, white space, a clear message, a definitive call to action, eye-catching imagery, an explosion of colour, a distinctive border, easy to read fonts, clever use of angles, or whatever it takes to make your Press Ad stand out on the page. Your company’s advertising must be distinctive, unusual, and should contrast with the other ads on the page. But most importantly it should reflect and promote your business brand.
Designing a successful print advertising strategy is more challenging than some may think as there is no direct communication with the target audience.
Print advertising helps to promote your business and gives you the edge over your competition, providing brand advertising to product or event advertising. D Dot Design can provide a complete service from the initial briefing through strategic media buying / planning, design concept, artwork production and publication to deliver targeted, cost effective advertising solutions for your business.
