Color plays a key role in effective print marketing.  The strategic use of color can be an absolute powerhouse when it comes to using print marketing to promote your business. Whether you realize it or not, your company’s logos, branding, and other promotional printing efforts rely on color as an asset to your messaging and designs.

Color is what gets your customers to see what you want them to see, to feel how you want them to feel, and to do what you want them to do.  The psychology of color is a powerful tool.  Choosing the right colors can boost your message; on the same lines, poor color choices can have a negative impact on your message.  The trick to succeed with color and create effective print marketing is knowing what colors to use to get your message out there and to get people to respond accordingly.  This blog will discuss how different colors can influence consumer response to your marketing.
