When you create marketing materials to distribute to your customers, you need it to feel like you’re speaking directly to them for maximum impact and conversions. But how do you achieve this? Through customized print marketing campaigns, of course! Your audience is a unique customer segment, meaning you need to start treating them as such. That’s why we’ve pulled together everything you should consider to help make your marketing pop in your next print campaign, along with highlighting why customization and personalization in print are so important. 

The Rise of Digital Printing 

Before we dive too deep, we first need to look at the rise of digital printing. As the name suggests, digital printing is a method of printing from a digital image directly to a variety of media. Since its inception, digital printing has played a significant role in creating personalized marketing materials because it enables businesses and brands to create highly customized and targeted materials. Whereas other older printing methods (such as letterpress or even screen printing) only allowed for printing to be duplicated, with digital printing, businesses can adjust their font, designs, colors, and imagery with just a click of a button. 

And this customization has changed the modern marketing game. For example, at Tulip Media Group, we offer newsletters, magazines, brochures, and more as part of our custom print marketing campaigns. So, let’s say you’re a small start-up business wanting to get your name out there, but you don’t want to invest in a quarterly magazine. In this case, you might decide to work with our team to generate a personalized newsletter that features information about you, your business, and your services, as well as educational content that your audience will connect with and find useful. In the end, it all just depends on your organizational goals and personal preferences. 

Now that you understand the rise of digital printing and how it has evolved from older forms of printing, it’s time to look closer at how digital printing allows businesses to customize their design and creative elements. If you have a business yourself, then you know just how important the fonts, colors, designs, and imagery you use are to your brand. Establishing these elements in your brand’s toolkit allows your customers to recognize your business no matter if they see you in person, online, or in print. However, as we mentioned above, it wasn’t always possible to bring these personalized elements into your print marketing campaigns until the creation of digital printing. Nowadays, businesses can flex their creative muscles (or partner with a marketing agency like Tulip Media Group) to create standout materials that not only catch the eye of your ideal customer but keep them reading to the end. 

To exemplify our point, let’s look at the difference in the creative elements between two of our Client-Partners, Petra Coach and JGS Insurance. Both businesses work with us to create custom magazines that inform and inspire their target audiences, but the resulting materials look vastly different due to their contrasting goals and branding. For example, the latest release of Petra Coach’s magazine, PetraPost, utilizes their orange branding throughout and features significantly more advertisements than JGS Insurance’s latest issue of their Risk & Business Magazine. Although JGS’s magazine also has orange throughout, it’s balanced by their brand’s blue color along with some other complementary colors. And then, of course, the messaging in Petra Coach’s magazine targets business leaders and entrepreneurs, while JGS’s magazine is geared towards organizations needing insurance support. This all just goes to show that what works for one business won’t necessarily work for you, and that’s why we offer our personalized print campaigns in the first place. 

Benefits of Personalization 

“Worked with these folks for the better part of a year working as a marketing coordinator within a business. They did fantastic work, were punctual, very transparent, precise, and best of all—they delivered results. . . . Very impressed with their marketing/business philosophy and methods.”

Ultimately, if you’ve been searching for ways to elevate your marketing game, connect with more customers, and position yourself as an authority within your field, it might be time to consider working with our team at Tulip Media Group to create some customized marketing materials. Take advantage of modern digital printing technology and create stunning designs that not only resonate with your ideal audience but convert them into lifelong loyal customers. Remember, personalization drives performance, meaning it’s crucial to create materials that speak directly to your clients’ pain points while offering a robust solution to their problems. Not only that but it helps build strong relationships that can lead to more recurring sales and even referrals. So, what are you waiting for?
