Your business’s printed materials have an effect on anyone who comes in contact with them, and whether that effect is good or bad is entirely up to you. Printing that is on point can make all the difference in the world when you’re trying to be a step above the rest for your customers and prospective customers. Learn how your brand can stand out from the crowd with these tips and guidelines for epic printed marketing materials.
With a sea of companies out there selling similar products and services, attracting new customers can be a challenge. So how can you stand out from the competition and position yourself as a memorable resource? A good marketing strategy is essential, and within that strategy should be a solid direction for outbound marketing – which includes all of your tangible, printed pieces.
We cannot stress enough the importance of having high-quality, attractive printed materials. A combination of professional, creative designs that capture your target audience’s attention and quality material that offers a look and feel beyond the normal expectations helps you make a lasting impression.
When it comes to retaining customers and improving their loyalty to your brand, many contributing factors are at play. The expectations of today’s intelligent, informed customers are at an all-time high, from customer service and website ease of use to readily-available informative content and, of course, today’s hot blog topic: printed material that speaks volumes.
To truly set your brand apart, build trust in customers and keep them coming back for more, don’t just meet those expectations – exceed them by having marketing materials that evoke a feeling in and of themselves. The right printed pieces will induce them to see, touch and feel the value that represents how you present your brand to the world. This includes the important component of content that answers customers’ questions and offers valuable information.
If people place a higher value on your business cards or sales sheets, they’re likely to place a higher value on the products and services you offer. Take this opportunity to blow them away and begin their journey to being your loyal customer.
Last but certainly not least is sales. Sales and revenue make your brand’s world go ’round and keep you in the business of doing what it is you do best. Let your printed marketing material take some of that weight off your shoulders and help you sell your products and services.
With stats like “63% of people throw the business card away because they don’t need service” or “88% of business cards handed out get thrown away in less than a week”, we understand the question, “why spend the money?” Answer: “the number of sales increases by 2.5% for every 2000 cards that get passed out.”
On top of that, colored cards typically stick around in people’s pockets or desks 10x longer than the average plain white card. Now imagine if you have a card so cool, vibrant and memorable that the recipient just can’t throw it away! Chances are they’ll keep it around for a while, and they may need your services during that time. Give them an unforgettable leave-behind that will keep selling for you for a long time to come.
