Print advertising

refers to advertising activities that use printed materials such as newspapers, magazines, flyers, brochures, posters and banners to communicate messages and information about products, services or events to a target audience.

What are the advantages of print advertising?

The advantages of print advertising include:

Tangibility: printed materials can be physically touched and retained.

Credibility: print is often perceived as more trustworthy.

Audience selection: Targeted placement in specific media allows specific audiences to be targeted.

Longer life: printed materials can exist longer and be read again.
