In fact, it\u2019s undergoing a resurgence. With the world being flooded by digital marketing, people don\u2019t know where to look. As a result, print has carved out a new niche as a more trustworthy, reliable and memorable mode of marketing. That\u2019s right, print is the new medium. According to Joe Pulizzi of the Content Marketing Institute, \u201cprint is non-traditional marketing. That\u2019s where we are today. Blogging, social media, web articles\u2026 that\u2019s all very traditional.\u201d So if you want to stay ahead of the curve, why not use print?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if you are a local business with a physical presence (perhaps you have an office, a studio, a restaurant, or a shop), print marketing may be the most effective way of making your presence known locally. Where digital is effective at targeting international consumers, print has the upper hand when it comes to local business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, print has a higher reach than digital at the local level. Beautifully designed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/poster-printing\/\">custom posters<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/flyer-printing\/\">flyers<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/cheap-brochure-printing\/\">brochures<\/a> will help increase brand awareness, and draw local customers to your business, leaving lasting impressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective local print marketing campaign is all about strategy, design, distribution and measuring:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-transparent ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #3f3f3f;color:#3f3f3f\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #3f3f3f;color:#3f3f3f\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/local-print-marketing-to-boost-business\/#Strategy\" >Strategy<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/local-print-marketing-to-boost-business\/#1_Guerilla_Marketing\" >1.

The best thing about this local print marketing approach is it\u2019s not in your face, allowing consumers to form their own connections with your brand, and relate to it in more meaningful and personal ways. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/stickers\/\">Stickers<\/a> are a great way to build up loyalty; consumers who wear stickers (perhaps on their clothing, or their laptops) not only advertise on your behalf, they also become brand ambassadors. This is a highly intelligent technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Direct_Mail\"><\/span>2. Direct Mail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent study suggests that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usps.com\/business\/promotions\/direct-mail-brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">79% of consumers find that reading mail is more convenient than going online<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try sending out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/cheap-brochure-printing\/\">brochures<\/a>, newsletters, or personalized greeting cards \u2013 make sure your direct mail marketing contains your brand logo, a personal design, and a QR code to drive customers to your website. That way you can use print to boost engagement with your digital content. Last year, direct mail gave an average ROI of 1300%!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Posters\"><\/span>3. Posters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/poster-printing\/\">Posters<\/a> can visually attract customers to your business, and are a great way to convey large amounts of key information in a limited amount of space. A really effective poster design will influence and entice anyone who lays eyes upon it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Posters can be used to advertise events, show off new products and increase brand awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, if you print in bulk, posters are incredibly cost efficient, giving you a great ROI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design\"><\/span>Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve found the perfect strategy, it\u2019s all about finding the best design. A local print marketing campaign is only as good as it looks, and a strong visual image can do the work of a thousand words. When approaching design, you have two options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Do_It_Yourself\"><\/span>1. Do It Yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some businesses opt to design their own print \u2013 this is a great way to keep creative control (and cut costs). This could be especially worthwhile if you\u2019re a small and resourceful business with creative flair, and you want your designs to be highly personal and authentic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think this is the best route for you, check out our rundown of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/free-graphic-design-tools\/\">free graphic design tools<\/a>, and you\u2019ll be getting started in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-657\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"389\" data-attachment-id=\"657\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/local-print-marketing-to-boost-business\/diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?fit=640%2C389&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,389\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;DIY Design &amp;#8211; local print marketing &amp;#8211;&lt;br \/&gt;\n chilliprinting&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;DIY Design &amp;#8211; local print marketing &amp;#8211;&lt;br \/&gt;\n chilliprinting&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?fit=640%2C389&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/Online-Printing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?resize=640%2C389&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"DIY Design - local print marketing - chilliprinting\" class=\"wp-image-657\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/diy-design-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?resize=350%2C213&amp;ssl=1 350w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You don&#8217;t need to be a famous artist to create your own designs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Find_a_Top_Designer\"><\/span>2.

Finding a great designer is an important (and often difficult) process, so make sure to follow our advice on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/find-great-poster-designer\/\">finding the right designer<\/a> for you. If you find a good match, there\u2019s no reason they can\u2019t bring your personal vision to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distribution\"><\/span>Distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While strategy and design are important, distribution is absolutely key. It\u2019s always helpful to keep in mind the 80\/20 rule \u2013 you should aim to spend 20% on your strategy and design, and 80% on distributing your print content. Once your materials are ready, make the most of them; print in bulk, target multiple events, and use them more than once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Where_to_Show_Your_Posters\"><\/span>1. Where to Show Your Posters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where you hang your poster is as significant as the design itself. Location is everything. Displaying your posters on your own premises is the simplest and cheapest way of showing off your artwork. Depending on the nature of your business, this could be all you need.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-image-658\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"456\" height=\"640\" data-attachment-id=\"658\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/local-print-marketing-to-boost-business\/where-to-hang-posters-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/where-to-hang-posters-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?fit=456%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"456,640\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"where to hang posters &amp;#8211; local print marketing &amp;#8211; chilliprinting\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;where to hang posters &amp;#8211; local print marketing &amp;#8211; chilliprinting&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Make sure your target audience can see your posters&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/where-to-hang-posters-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?fit=456%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/Online-Printing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/where-to-hang-posters-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?resize=456%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"where to hang posters - local print marketing - chilliprinting\" class=\"wp-image-658\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/where-to-hang-posters-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?w=456&amp;ssl=1 456w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chilliprinting.com\/online-printing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/where-to-hang-posters-local-print-marketing-chilliprinting.jpg?resize=249%2C350&amp;ssl=1 249w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Make sure the right target audience sees your posters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re aiming to target a specific audience, make sure you match your location with your ideal consumer demographic. This might require some research into the kinds of places your target audience tend to hang out. In other cases it will be more straightforward, for example, student campuses are obviously the place to reach students, whereas adverts in public spaces are likely to reach a larger cross-section of people. Remember that your choice of location will determine your exact audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Where_to_Distribute_Leaflets\"><\/span>2. Where to Distribute Leaflets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your target audience is broad enough to be found easily in public, consider handing leaflets to passers-by using street teams. Make sure you profile the people you hand leaflets to first, or even better, try to strike up conversation people one on one in order to build up interest before handing them a leaflet. This will ensure that less people are throwing away your flyers without even looking at them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, make sure you choose the appropriate size when you print your leaflets. Credit card sized leaflets receive the lowest drop-rate, because they fit easily into pockets or wallets. Bigger, thicker leaflets can sometimes make people reluctant to take one. If you don\u2019t want to hand out leaflets on the street, try posting them to customers, placing them inside packaged orders, or even collaborating with complementary businesses to help distribute your leaflets through their systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measuring\"><\/span>Measuring<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Local print marketing offers a great return on your investment. However, the difficulty arises in tracking and calculating an exact value. In order to really optimize your print campaigns and gain analysis from your marketing initiatives, you\u2019ll need to track your print. In order to measure (and increase) your ROI, you need proof of consumer engagement. If you can include at least one call-to-action (for example, encouraging your customers to check out your business or event online), you give customers a clear response that you can track to determine the success of your local print marketing campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Coupons_and_Vouchers\"><\/span>1. Coupons and Vouchers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not turn your printed flyers into promotional vouchers with coupon codes? Your customers are more likely to engage if they get a discount or a freebie (especially first-time customers in retail businesses, such as stores and restaurants). You can track engagement using coupon codes, to gain insight into where and why your flyer distribution yielded the best response rates. You can then consolidate the data you collect with existing customer data, and even trade this information with other businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_QR_Codes\"><\/span>2.
