Doug Clark, Sales Representative, Sappi Fine Paper North America Life With Print With communications mediums constantly battling to strengthen their share of advertising and marketing budgets, and even more competition for audience attention and message delivery, it's vital that the print industry continue to grow its share by telling the print story, of its effectiveness and the proven value it provides as part of the communications mix. Life with Print demonstrates the truly unique way print adds value to capturing memories, capturing imagination and capturing attention to build brands, sell goods and deliver corporate messages. Its goal is to bring attention to the power of printing excellence. When people read print, they do it on purpose, so they do it with purpose. If someone reads print, they've already given advertisers, retailers and corporate communicators permission to speak with them. That is what makes the print medium so unique and powerful. Life with Print is aimed at generating visibility for the concept of print as a superior communications mix within the creative community and among advertising and marketing decisionmakers and influencers. |
