Why print ads can make a difference in your marketing mix

In today’s rapidly changing and increasingly digital world, the confidence in printed advertisements seems to be declining at a rapid pace. The downward trend in global spending on print advertising says it all; between 2000 and 2014, the annual spend fell massively from US$67 billion to US$19.9 billion. We’re seeing a reflection of this trend at Geomares too, with print’s revenue share dropping from 88% in 2013 to 60% in 2017. Does this mean that the end of print advertising is near? Or does it actually offer opportunities to set yourself apart by advertising in print?

Content marketing types and formats

You already know your purpose for creating content, which target group your content will be aimed at and which topics you will focus on. The next step in your content marketing strategy is to determine the type of content and the format in which you are going to publish it. This is an interesting but difficult choice, because there are countless types and formats to choose from. It is not easy to view these two elements separately either, but Chris Lake makes an admirable attempt in his Periodic Table of Content Marketing.
