The Value of Printing in the Age of Digital

The Value of Printing in the Age of Digital - Woman drinking coffee and reading

In an age where digital platforms seem ubiquitous, one might question the relevance of print. Yet, as reality would have it, the value of professional printing continues to be a valued choice despite, or perhaps in response to, the surge of digital media.

The resiliency of print is powered by several key factors that offer significant ROI and unparalleled advantages, especially for certain audiences and industries. In this piece, we discuss the profound importance of print, focusing on its economic value, tactile benefits, and its unique role in learning.

Exceptional Return on Investment

Many businesses can testify to the return on investment (ROI) of print. Direct mail, for example, inherently has measurable results. With advanced tracking mechanisms, businesses can accurately calculate their ROI, making this form of print marketing a valuable asset.

Printed catalogs continue to drive online sales, enhancing brand imagery and customer loyalty. Customers who receive catalogs tend to spend more time engaging with the printed piece and on a retailer’s website and consequently spend more money. Print, therefore, is not just alive but a thriving catalyst for business growth.

The Tactile Advantage

Nothing quite matches the sensory experience of print. From the smooth texture of a glossy magazine page to the comforting smell of a new book, these tactile experiences craft an intimate connection between the reader and the printed material.

Scientifically, the tactile experience stimulates higher cognitive processing and emotional connections – ultimately enhancing memory retention. It’s the sensory nature of touch that makes printed material instinctively more engaging and memorable than digital media, providing a lasting brand impression.

Moreover, print products such as brochures, business cards, or newsletters show effort, thought, and investment, creating a perception of credibility and professionalism about your brand. They bring a physical presence of your business into customers’ homes or office spaces, keeping your brand within reach and sight.

Print’s Unique Role in Learning

When it comes to education and learning, print takes an impressive stand. Scientific studies reveal that reading from paper results in better comprehension and recall than reading from screens. Print’s lack of distractions promotes deeper engagement and encourages more thorough mental mapping of the information.

Also, printed books and documents provide easy navigation that digital platforms often lack. The ability to physically flip through pages, highlight lines, and scribble notes on the margins greatly enhances the learning process.

The Emergence of Hybrid Models

Rather than view digital and print media as rivals, savvy businesses are combining the strengths of both to maximize customer engagement. Printed materials can work in tandem with digital platforms by incorporating QR codes or social media handles, offering a seamless multi-channel experience.

The endurance of print in the age of digital media is by no means accidental. Its powerful sensory connection, tangible market reach, and contribution to effective learning secure print media’s spot in the marketing mix. By leveraging professional print services, businesses can connect with their audience in a meaningful way while reaping a significant return on investment.

In essence, print is not just surviving, it’s thriving. It remains an impactful medium that businesses and learners alike continue to value in our digitally driven world.

Consolidated Press is a Seattle-based printer with more than 85 years of experience and expertise. Our specialties include magazines, catalogs, reports, manuals, book publishing, and direct mail. We’re the only commercial printer with in-house automated perfect bindery in the Pacific Northwest. Contact us to learn more. 

Back to School - Print Maps

Embracing the Back-to-School Buzz: The Impact of Print in College Communications

According to a June 2023 survey conducted by Two Sides North America, across every category of media included in the survey, from books and magazines to newspapers and product catalogs, consumers’ preference for paper has increased since 2021. On campus is no different, and the physical presence of these materials also serves as a constant reminder of upcoming events, deadlines, and campus resources.

Mapping the way forward.

Navigating a college or university campus can be overwhelming for new and returning students. Printed campus maps are essential for helping students find their way around the vast grounds. Whether it’s their first day or they need a quick reference guide, these maps are invaluable in fostering a sense of direction and familiarity with the campus.

By combining the convenience of a print map with an enticing online website or landing page that includes coupons, hours of operation, and key dates, colleges can offer a comprehensive tool that caters to diverse preferences. This integrated approach ensures that students can access information at their convenience while fostering a strong connection with the institution.

Play ball—and chess, and debate, and theater….

Sports events are crucial in shaping a vibrant campus, engaging the wider community, and generating significant revenue. To ensure maximum participation and engagement, they must be well-promoted and supported with print materials.

Game day programs, posted schedules, and quality signage are vital to creating awareness, building excitement, and honoring sponsorship and advertiser agreements. Combining these materials—which can be printed months in advance—with a digital channel that can be updated on the fly creates huge opportunities for advertisers and organizers to add extra incentives and activities for fans—and be able to promote them. This is where QR codes step in as powerful tools to bridge the gap between traditional print materials and up-to-the-minute online resources.

By incorporating QR codes on flyers and posters, colleges enable students to access real-time information with a simple smartphone scan. These QR codes can be linked to event registration pages, social media updates, or web portals for any last-minute changes or additional details. This seamless integration of print and digital mediums ensures that students receive the most current and accurate information—in addition to fun extras—enhancing their overall experience on campus.

Making a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

While digital communication efficiently disseminates event information, integrating print materials is a powerful reinforcement. The Two Sides North America survey reported that 56% of respondents believed that printed materials were more enjoyable to read than digital alternatives. By combining both mediums, colleges can enhance the visibility and memorability of their events, leading to higher attendance and participation rates.

Moreover, an integrated approach ensures inclusivity. Not all students may have equal access to digital devices or stable internet connections. Print materials bridge the digital divide, making crucial information accessible to all, regardless of their technological resources.

As colleges and universities gear up for the back-to-school season, the role of essential print materials cannot be overstated. Print materials, from direct mail to campus maps, sports schedules, and alums magazines, play a vital role in effectively reaching students and other stakeholders. By combining the best of both worlds, colleges and universities can ensure every student feels informed and engaged in their educational journey.

Summer Tourism

Use brochures, posters, guides and maps to promote your region’s summer fun

When the sun comes out, people start looking to keep busy, feel refreshed, see something new, and get onto the open road.

Whether you own a business or work for a city, a parks department, a farmers’ market, or a nonprofit, summer is the time for printing projects aimed at the public—posters, brochures, calendars, maps, menus, guides, event collateral, direct mail, and more.

Posters reach more people.

Posters are an underrated source of advertising, and they are excellent at bringing people back to the spot they saw the poster in the first place. For example, if you are advertising a new farmer’s market or opening one for the season, plaster the area with posters. 

An event like a farmers market draws mostly local people—people who tend to live, work, and play in the same places day after day. So it’s easy to ask them to return to a place they are already hanging out for something fun and ongoing like a farmer’s market, monthly flea market, or summer concert series. All they have to remember is the time or date. 

The same principles work for one-time events like summer festivals, retail events, civic volunteer opportunities, and more. Be sure to print the website, hashtag or a QR code on the poster for an even stronger memory aid. A simple and clear call-to-action (CTA) like “Post a selfie with this poster” will go a long way toward engaging people and bringing them back to the very place they are standing —with friends.

Read this comprehensive guide to creating posters that bring a buzz to your event.

Brochures are marketing’s best bet.

Everybody likes to pick up free stuff! Brochures are better than free—they represent possibility, excitement, travel, fun, relief from boredom, and future purchases and services that make life better.

Consider these compelling statistics when planning your summer advertising campaigns:

  • 7 out of 10 tourists, as well as visitors, tend to pick up brochures
  • 95% of visitors that obtain brochures become aware of a business
  • 80% of people consider visiting the business they saw in brochures

Keep in mind that brochures can truly reflect your brand’s aesthetic or personality. They don’t have to be the glossy three-fold six-panel classics we know from brochure stands in visitor centers across America. You can produce maps, calendars, posters, sales flyers, menus, and destination collateral, all in brochure form.

We can help you stand out with:

  • Strong brand identity through color matching and design
  • A variety of paper choices for your budget and brand
  • Professional folding and printing so your brochure is easy to read
  • Fun and functional stickers and seals
  • Addressing, sorting, storage, and direct mailing (if you want to go that route!)

Get on the map.

A March 2023 survey and report from The Vacationer revealed the potential for an enormous uptick in travel—especially domestic travel—this summer.

As summarized in Travel Agent Central this month:

Eighty-five percent of Americans plan to travel this summer. Nearly half of them are planning to travel more this summer compared to last, and those who intend to travel this summer represent a 5% increase over 2022. Ninety percent of American adults aged 30 to 44 intend to travel this summer, as do 88% of 45- to 60-year-olds and 87% of adults under 30. Forty-three percent of women said they intend to travel more, while  40 percent of men said they will.

Sixty-two percent of respondents said their travels will be domestic only. Seventeen percent said their travels would be domestic and international, while 6 percent said they would only be traveling internationally. Nearly four in five travelers plan to take a road trip this summer, most traveling between 100 and 500 miles. 

Now is the time to get your community on a map. There are so many ways and reasons to do this!

  • Regional and state visitor associations can create road trip maps of cities and tourist destinations. 
  • Cities and towns can publish a map of shopping and dining hubs, pointing visitors to all the places to play and spend money while passing through. Locals love these maps too, when they are updated regularly. 
  • Hotels and convention centers can publish maps of nearby nightlife, dining, and daytime activities. 
  • Tourist bureaus can offer maps of day trips within a radius of your city or region. 
  • Business hubs and neighborhood associations can promote dining and shopping with hyper-local maps, capitalizing on “coop-ertition” to bring more people to the location by displaying or handing out the map at each business in the area.
  • Local Arts and Entertainment can distribute information on upcoming show schedules, venues, special events, or concerts. 

Organizations often have state or local funds to produce maps promoting their area. Local businesses can offset these costs by advertising or paying for a prominent location on the map. Be sure to create a connected website for the latest updates, specials, and events.

Invite summer fun—and spending!—with print products like maps, brochures, direct mail, guides and posters. Visitors and locals alike will be happy to jump in.

With our efficient presses and professional staff, we can help you steward your resources while creating important print products that benefit everyone. Let us help you—reach out today.

Moving Print Stateside

Moving Printing Stateside

Local benefits, a reliable supply chain, and geopolitical factors drive print buyers back to the U.S.

Print buyers are making the shift back to stateside commercial printers—with good reason. Geopolitical instability, rising international shipping prices, and unpredictable delivery times—especially for large projects— are driving companies to create new relationships with local printers to ensure a reliable supply chain.

Publishers, universities, and other businesses have been outsourcing commercial printing projects overseas for years because they have been able to achieve comparable quality at lower prices. 

When the demand for books skyrocketed during the pandemic, domestic capacity was at an all-time low, and for the first time in years, demand exceeded capacity. This along with increased paper and pulp being funneled into the paperboard market for packaging, sent the U.S. commercial and book printing market into a game of catch-up. But as supply levels out, domestic printers are able to capture more jobs coming their way.

For several reasons, companies are starting to refocus their printing dollars stateside. According to a Dec. 2022 article in Publishers Weekly, “China has a sophisticated printing infrastructure, but much of its pricing edge is being eroded by constant Covid lockdowns, shipping rates that remain well above old levels, and more attempts at censorship.”

Local printing just works betterSupport Local

There are plenty of other reasons print buyers are moving to local and domestic printers:

  • Sample and substitute availability. If you want to touch or see your paper options in person, it is much easier to do that with a local printer. Especially as stock capacity continues to shift, you’ll want to work closely with your printer to choose appropriate substrates and substitutes when necessary. 
  • Shipping proofs and projects. When you can stop by your local printer to check your proof and communicate changes on the spot, you save both time and shipping fees that can delay your project. Shipping (or picking up) and storing the final product locally can add up to huge savings.
  • Security. Knowing your printer creates an atmosphere of trust. You know they aren’t going anywhere with your financial information, and paying them won’t result in exchange and transaction fees. You may be able to work out a payment schedule, and/or pay only when the job is done to your satisfaction.
  • Supporting the local economy. Harder to quantify, yet no less important to many, is the satisfaction of supporting your local community, its workforce and economy.

U.S. printers are cautiously investing in growth

The 162 commercial printing companies that participated in the 2022-23 PRINTING United Alliance State of the Industry Survey spoke frankly about their cautious expectations for the coming year. “25.3% expect business conditions to be better than this year, 40.4% about the same, and 34.3% worse.”

However, a shift of print buyers back to the U.S. could be a bright spot for domestic commercial printers who have had to navigate material and labor shortages, cost inflation, and higher interest rates. Many are preparing for growth.

Over 60% of the companies surveyed said they planned to make capital investments as part of their plans to strengthen margins, with bindery/finishing systems (61.1%), commercial inkjet (39.6%), and mailing capabilities (27.1%) being the most desired capital investments, and increasing productivity (83.2%), increasing production speed (58.7%), and automation (51.7%) the most frequently cited investment objectives.

Presumably, these strong capital investments will increase domestic capacity overall, and move inventory, which is currently very high, drawing more buyers back from overseas.

Time to ‘focus on becoming more resilient and efficient’

Patrycja Wisniewski, Canon Solutions America Corporate Product Strategy Director pointed to instability in China and Russia as a driving factor for print buyers to consider. “Regulatory changes that are influenced by governments will shift the global supply chain,” including manufacturing strategies and environmental concerns, she told Printing Impressions. “Geopolitical instability and conflicts remain a top concern, risk to global economic shifts and inflation remain, and volatile energy prices have superseded supply chain disruptions,” Wisniewski adds. “It is important to emerge from disruptions and focus on becoming more resilient and efficient, and institutionalize the new normal.”

Government Printing

The Power of the (Printing) Press to Make Information Equitable, Timely, and Useful to Everyone

Government Agencies and Municipalities Rely on Print

Municipalities and government agencies produce a lot of print publications, and for a good reason—they are responsible for educating citizens. By law, they need to make certain publications available to everyone, regardless of whether they have internet access. 

Think voter’s pamphlets and, in Washington state, the ballots themselves. Municipal recreation center program catalogs. Transit schedules, walking maps. Driver’s guides. There are fliers and brochures at every public office in dozens of languages represented in any major city. Transit Schedule

Governments are also required to seek citizen input on new developments and major projects. They require diversity and volume of input from citizens on projects such as bridge construction, new highways, and public spaces that are coming online. Zoning changes and redevelopments need public buy-in to move forward. A public involvement team is often brought in specifically to do this outreach, and printed communications or publications are essential.

Direct Mail Reaches Each Household

Direct mail is also vital for municipalities and contractors specializing in government outreach. Each year, updated recycling brochures are mailed out to every person who gets services. Changes in water, gas and electricity rates come through the mail. Every homeowner is mailed a value assessment on their house periodically. 

Recently, the pandemic has compelled governments to disseminate critical public health information to huge populations as quickly as possible. 

All of this information is printed to reach the most diverse and complete group of constituents.

Consolidated Press Specializes in Government Projects for Several Reasons

  • We have enormous capacity on our web presses. We can run thousands of pieces in a short period of time. Because we work at scale, we can nimbly produce essential publications very cost-effectively right when they are needed.
  • We are experts at getting your direct mail to citizens and employees quickly and inexpensively. We create and mail announcement postcards, parks and recreation catalogs, visitor’s guides, regional newsletters, and more. We can work with you on paper choices and other tweaks that create a lighter, less expensive, yet attractive and useful piece.
  • Some pieces are just workhorses, and they need to be durable for months or years to come. Books, manuals, catalogs, guides, directories, curricula, and collections of regulations can all be perfect bound into books of any size at Consolidated Press. Optical cameras on our presses confirm quality and placement, so even nondescript projects look professional and hold up for years.
  • Even public documents deserve their privacy. We understand that government information is sensitive and timely. We protect your information from public view until its designated release time and treat each project as highly confidential.

We believe in the power of the (printing) press to make information equitable, timely, and useful to everyone. Contact us today to start reaching your citizens tomorrow.

Reading Resurgence

Four ways publishers can capitalize on a reading resurgence in turbulent times

Heading into 2022, book publishers are riding a worldwide resurgence of interest in printed books and reading.

At the same time, they are facing a shortage of paper and distribution networks that are crucial to putting those books in their readers’ hands.

Many paper mills have pivoted to packaging, the manufacturing workforce is mid-shuffle, and global logistics disruptions continue to slow shipments of supplies and end products.

Since we specialize in book printing, we want to share with you some of the ways publishers are capitalizing on the demand for printed books, while managing the challenges of printing them.

Print large runs in smaller batches.

Publishers are exploring a stock replenishment model that reprints smaller batches more frequently. Publishers will still meet—or even generate—consumer demand with a plan to roll out an entire run, but in increments that keep prices low and distribution steady.

Publishers sell directly to consumers.

Direct-to-consumer sales are nothing new, but it is easier than ever before to pass on retail sales, which can take up to 40% of the cover price. Using an omnichannel marketing approach, including social media, blogs, websites, and author following, publishers can create a community of readers clamoring for their books.

Experiment with size, shape, and stock.

Consolidated Press can publish a huge array of sizes and shapes. Depending on how your book is being distributed, you may want to try a different size or shape to keep costs low on shipping. In an era where it’s on-trend to buck the trend, you might find that an offbeat look sells more books—especially if it doesn’t need to sit neatly on a retail shelf. The same goes for stock. While CP has the resources and relationships to keep a range of paper stocks on hand, we can offer suggestions for substitutions when one is low or another that might be less expensive.

Expect the unexpected—and tell everyone else to as well.

Today’s mantra is communication, communication, communication. In all manufacturing sectors in 2022, releases, roll-outs, and launches will be…squishy. For book publishers, that means clearly managing expectations for your readers, clients, and authors. At Consolidated Press, our value is in reliable runs on a large scale. So, on our side, clear communication means letting you know exactly what supplies we have available when you can expect to get your project on the press, and if there are changes in cost due to continuing increases in paper and pulp prices. We are not in the business of surprising our customers.

While we recognize how much fluctuation there is in our industry right now, we are in the business of solutions—effective solutions in print, especially for publishers and manufacturers.

Contact us today to get started on your next book, manual, magazine, or catalog. Our power puts us ahead of the pack.

It almost goes without saying: Consolidated Press is here today because of our customers and their customers.

You are our whole story.

We appreciate you every day. We dream up ways to express our gratitude. Our team shows it by getting your work done expertly, on time, and within budget. We treat everyone who walks in with respect and dignity.

This holiday season, Consolidated Press is pushing ourselves outside our own story. We’ve persisted through the last two years, and we’re looking at a bright 2022.

But not everyone is. For many, this pandemic is not even close to over. And we know that a safe and thriving community is better for all of us.

The pandemic’s footprint is massive, but together, we can fill in the gap.

That’s why this year we are making a corporate donation on behalf of our clients, employees, and corporation to Northwest Harvest this December.

Northwest Harvest supports a statewide network of 375 food banks, meal programs, and high-needs schools. What’s more, they work for real transformation by seeking to remove barriers within our food and economic systems permanently.

We’re so proud to support this Seattle-based nonprofit.

We know that our clients support important causes and organizations throughout the region. We invite you to join us in two ways:

✔️ Support Northwest Harvest by making a donation that fits your business.
OR
✔️ Make a holiday gift to a nonprofit that is a meaningful match for your company’s values and culture.
THEN
✔️ Drop us a line by Dec. 15 to tell us what organization your company gave to this season, and—if you have an extra minute—tell us why. In December, we’ll publish a post featuring all of our “Friends in Philanthropy.” Tell us your story at sales@consolidatedpress.com.

Together, we can make a big leap forward into 2022. Bringing others along with us makes the ride that much sweeter for everyone.
