ADVERTISING
Covers the role that print plays within the media environment. Cross media developments featuring print, video, e-mail and personalised applications for driving campaigns, Print Buying, Brand Building and Concept Development.
The printed medium in advertising can be extremely informative compared to other media types which offer limited engagement. The advertiser has the ability to completely explain the features and benefits of its product in a one-page magazine, newspaper ad or brochure.
Companies that want to market a more expensive product through print media can create a comprehensive sales kit, including upmarket leaflets, a sales letter, and a business card, all enclosed in a printed marketing folder.
Touching on technological touchpoints!
BUSINESS
Getting your campaign in front of the right customer revolves around data and the business processes which are used to source that information and what is done with it afterwards. Budgets, legal aspects, storage, processing, handling, deletion and retention are all fundamental. Also what method of communication to use when addressing customers, single channel or multi-stream, digital, electronic, direct mail, print or verbal or a multi-channel all-encompassing approach, all of these factors play a role.
Your decisions influence your success. Choose wisely!
