It is one of the most widely used ways to reach people and create popularity and sales for businesses. It may be costly, but most companies see it as an investment to generate customers, and therefore, increase sales and profits.

Advantages Of Print Media
What are the Advantages Of Print Media over a number of other advertising media formats.

The advertising media format of the moment has to be Online advertising - but does it clean up in every department?

The traditionalists (and magazine and newspaper publishers) will say no and the fact of the matter is that magazine advertising and newspaper advertising does have its advantages in the media advertising mix.

One of the main advantages of print media is its capacity to excite and stimulate when people are in a relaxed frame of mind. Even though Internet Advertising has the edge in cost per lead terms, it is print media that seems to stay with us.

If you run a campaign of magazine advertisements you are unlikely to be able to monitor the effectiveness of that schedule in direct response terms. However, print media seems to be moving away from direct response anyway and is now positioning itself as a corporate, brand awareness or back-up media to other formats of advertising.

One of the other main advantages of print is its credibility. If you see it in print, it usually holds a higher position of respect and value - one thing that the internet is falling down on, due to the fact that it is very much a content-led format and therefore depends very much on results from search engines. Of course, people who want to make money from ad clicks are abusing this, by putting up very poor content.

Whatever you say about print media, it is here to stay and continues to be a valuable tool for advertisers, publishers and readers like you and me.

Through time, advertising has evolved in many ways. Marketing people nowadays are more creative, and they make use of very advanced technology. Not too long ago the only way to advertise was through print media, but in this day and age advertising can be carried out on the radio, television, telephone, and even through the use of free promotional products. And let's not forget the internet, which is now one of the most popular of all advertising media. Technology has really done wonders for the world of advertising, offering opportunities and reach that were unimaginable several years back.
