Posters and flyers are a generally underrated form of public relations.
Whilst the easy option is to assume that your business' website will see a constant flow of online traffic and that emailing and calling from your cosy office is 'networking', more traditional methods of promotion should not be neglected.
In fact, as a strong focus on online marketing becomes increasingly prevalent, perhaps now more than ever is a time to buck the trend and capture peoples' attention with something different.
Bold, innovative and visually striking posters or flyers stand out from the onslaught of mundane, poorly-made advertising materials often seen around Sydney. A printing service can help design and develop posters to suit any corporate image or event brief.
Posters could be especially effective for promoting a specific upcoming event or period such as a clearance sale, special offer, function, awards night or new product launch.
Similarly, flyers that contain a direct call to action might be more likely to make a serious impression and lead to a positive outcome compared to the abundance of advertising that dominates the internet and struggles to separate itself from the crowd.
Even on the grand Hollywood scale, film distributors are willing to spend a lot of money on hard-copy marketing campaigns, despite knowing that the majority of moviegoers will have already heard about a new or upcoming release and perhaps even seen a trailer.
A recent example of a headline-stealing campaign is the under-the-radar release of teaser posters for The Amazing Spider-Man by Sony, which were seen outside hotels near the San Diego Comic-Con International festival in mid-July.
The word spread quickly and the poster image has now been seen and discussed worldwide, with debate over how closely the film style will match the slick, modern red and black suit that the promotion features.
