πŸ“¬ JICMAIL reported that interaction with print advertising reached a five-year high, while print-driven purchases increased 15% year over year.

πŸ‘€ Vericast found that 55% of consumers pay more attention to print ads than digital ads, and 60% say print makes an advertiser easier to remember when they’re ready to buy.

They’re built around print AND digital.

That’s a seriously valuable media moment. πŸ’‘
