As marketers, you’ve undoubtedly been involved at least once in the on-going debate about where print sits in the world of publishing today.
There is no denying how digital media has impacted on our behaviour and in how we all consume information.
But when building new trusted relationships with excited, nervous and often overwhelmed parents, print media is an essential part of your media strategy.
Tangible
There is a lot to be said about customers being able to hold something tangible in their hands rather than just seeing it on a screen. There’s something special about enjoying content in ‘real life’. It impacts on our memory, on brand recognition and how we absorb and connect with the information, it also allows connects the positive ‘downtime’ experience the consumer is enjoying with the brands they are seeing.
Trust
In this highly digital era where we spend hours every day looking at screens, many people welcome the break from screen time offered by printed publications. And with higher trust levels for print rather than digital, readers know that printed content has gone through more fact checking and proofing than digital.
Targeting
Brands today are targeting millennial parents. Parents who are savvy, busy, commercially minded and under a lot of pressure to be seen to be getting it right, to be making the right decisions, the right purchases. And so at Zahra Media Group we continue to see a big demand from clients and advertisers wanting to place their brand in the pages of our parenting magazines.
Timely
For a parent to see a printed magazine in a trusted location like a hospital or GP surgery is so valuable. It places them at ease and encourages feelings of reassurance linked to the brand.
