5 Print Marketing Ideas to Make your Business Stand Out


In today's world, everyone thinks that digital has taken over the marketing sector.  Taken over is a strong statement.  Digital marketing is a very important part of your marketing plan but print marketing is still and always will be a vital part of a small business marketing strategy.  Customers still appreciate being able to look, touch, and feel products that interest them instead of just viewing a photo or video.  We have compiled 5 print ideas that can make your business stand out from the rest. 






Placing your logo strategically on products that are used in everyday life is a very effective way to promote your brand.  With the technology used every day throughout the business and personal world a few items, this will work on are flash drives, phone chargers, and pop sockets.  Everyone has their phone with them 24 hours a day, so a pop socket can promote your business every time someone is using their phone.  Other items that are great promotional giveaways are koozies, t-shirts, and bags.  Even though these are giveaways, remember quality still matters.   No one wants to wear a t-shirt that is not comfortable.  You will get more out of the t-shirt giveaway if your t-shirt is comfortable and made of good quality. 

Business Cards & Loyalty Cards

Business Cards is a print product that every professional carries with them to events, networking socials, business meetings, conferences, and tradeshows.  A professional business card will stand out to potential clients.  Thinking outside the box with your business card design can create a conversation that will help potential clients remember you over your competition. 
Loyalty Cards have become a staple in many businesses like retail, grocery stores, and gas stations.  Having a few options designs for the loyalty card is a great idea.  Some people like to carry them in their wallet and others keep them on the key ring for easy access.  Make your loyalty card stand out above the rest by placing your logo strategically on the card so the user can easily identify your business card.   

Gift Cards 

Businesses can choose from several different styles and features when ordering gift cards.   It is common for restaurants to use magnetic strip gift cards, while retail stores often use bar code style cards.   Face Value cards are great for small businesses that don't have a POS System, or the company is using the cards as a promotional item.   Smartphone transactions have increased the use of QR Code gift cards.  When ordering a gift card from your printer make sure you think about the feature that will be best for your company. 


Birthday & Holiday Cards

Birthday and holiday cards are a great way to personalize contact with your current clients.  This print technique can also drive sales to your business by including a coupon or a small gift card.  Mailing out printed cards will also help you keep your CRM up to date.  When a card is returned you will know the address that you have in your CRM needs to be updated. 


Banners & Posters

Banners are a great way to attract road traffic to your store or catch the attention of someone passing by at a trade show or event.  Your banners should be colorful without a lot of text to achieve the goal of attracting the potential customer to stop and speak with someone at your business or booth. 
Posters are a great way to show off products that are on sale.  We have found the using the foam board as a backing of the poster will extend the life of your poster.
