Open the drawer in any office (the one where printed materials tend to collect) and you’ll often find the truth about a brand. A small stack of envelopes from last year. A notecard someone redesigned on their own. A form with multiple versions tucked into the same folder. A letterhead template that doesn’t match anything […]

Some letterhead looks impressive at first glance. It has the right colors, an elegant header, maybe even a subtle graphic in the background. But then someone in the office opens the file to write a letter, and the real story comes out. The margins are too tight. The background suddenly feels overpowering. The footer climbs

When someone picks up your brochure, flips through your event program, or browses your booklet, they’re not just gathering information; they’re forming opinions. From the texture of the paper to the clarity of the layout, every design decision sends a message about your organization’s credibility, attention to detail, and values. In short: your print is

What if your folded cards could work harder and more than once a year? For many businesses, they come out in December, do their job as holiday greetings, and then get forgotten until the next season.

Businesses today often pour budgets into digital ads, but there’s a hidden problem: trust. Consumers are skeptical of what they see online. Pop-ups, banner ads, and even sponsored social posts are easy to ignore or, worse, mistrust. Print, on the other hand, has staying power. A brochure in hand or a postcard in the mailbox

Let’s be honest, print marketing has a bit of a reputation. Not bad. Just… old-school. Or at least that’s what some people think. But here’s the thing: while marketing trends come and go, print is still here. And if you’ve ever quietly wondered, "Do people even read this stuff anymore?"–you wouldn’t be the first. We

In direct mail, first impressions happen fast, sometimes in the few seconds it takes someone to sort their stack of mail. The envelope is your campaign’s opening act. If it falls flat, everything inside may never get seen. That’s why a strategic envelope isn’t just a finishing touch, it’s a lead actor in your campaign’s

When marketers talk about multichannel strategy, they often mean email, social, web, and maybe a little video. But there’s a big piece missing from that list: a literal, large one. Printed signage, displays, and banners aren’t just for brand awareness anymore. When used intentionally, they become launchpads for digital engagement. Let’s clear up some of
