Printed materials in a good mix
Print advertising is part of the marketing mix, but many companies are moving away from it due to high costs and lack of feedback. It always depends on the type of product, the target group and the communication mix of other media in the campaign. At POINT CZ, our production specialists for printed materials know something about insert production. If you’re thinking about print advertising, we have some tips.
Time spent with the medium
The cost of advertising corresponds to the content, readership and time spent with the medium. On average, each magazine is read by three readers; readers spend more time with a monthly magazine than with a daily newspaper. How to choose from among them? Choose a mix of printed materials that match the interests of your target audience. The ideal combination is by type and content, specialised magazines, daily newspapers and lifestyle.
