Print Advertising Trends – Future and State of Print ads
If you are standing I advise you get a sit because what I am about to tell you is astounding. Print advertising also known as print ads are here to stay! Yes that is absolutely true.
In spite of the growth of radio and TV commercial, online ads and banner, magazines and newspapers are and will continue to be a mainstay means of print advertising trends.
There are many reasons why I think so. First, there something about the feel, dexterity and availability of a newspaper or magazine that cannot be readily found in other forms of advertising. Secondly this form of advertising seems to appeal to human nature in a manner that radio, TV or online media cannot. Although flat screens are the colorfulness of flat screens and the nature of displays are attractive, print adverts still occupy a special place in the industry.
In the current world there are many situations when the print advert is much likely to be noticed and appreciated. For example, many people do not mind reading newspapers while riding a commuter train or when having lunch.
Nevertheless the adverts have to be done in an intelligent and interesting way to catch the reader’s attention. In fact readers expect and secretly look for advertisements in the print media as they flip through the pages. Some readers in fact welcome adverts in the print media because they serve as a break from the other contents.
The designers of these adverts should therefore take advantage of this opportunity to develop advertisements that create a mental note, make the readers think or if possible make them smile. That will give them the break that they desired while reading while at the same time pass your message. The provision of additional contact information such as your website can eventually lead to a sale.
The creativity of an advert is crucial because the failure to impress a reader will have result to unnecessary advertising cost and ultimate losses in your business or company. In addition, a poorly designed ad is likely to give your competitors an advantage, especially if their adverts have a higher possibility of grabbing the readers’ attention.
Your adverts should be different from those of the competitor, stand out among others, and convey the core message in a relevant and powerful way. They should also be persuasive, delightful and engaging.
Good adverts are bound to increase your sales and grow the business. If your adverts do not seem to be effective, it is better to consider a change in approach.
