6 Ways Print Newsletters Beat Email Newsletters – And Why They Need to Be Part of Your Marketing Mix

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

1. Printed mail gets delivered – It’s never blocked or caught in spam filters. Faulty connections, email authentication and webmail service idiosyncrasies are not issues. And, you have no worries about connection speeds.

2. Print newsletters have more perceived value – Think about it: How many companies are willing to do this? Your clients aren’t stupid. They understand the energy, cost and time required to send them a great newsletter every month. It will get their immediate attention.

3. Print newsletters let you use unlimited amount of images – A picture really is worth a thousand words. Print newsletters are not shackled by bandwidth. That means you can use a variety of text, graphics and formatting styles to capture the interest of your clients.

4. Print newsletter are sticky – Print newsletters have great ‘hang-time’. Not only are they likely to be read from start to finish, they usually get passed around. Hand-along readership can be as high as four-to-one. Talk about free marketing!

5. Print newsletters offer convenient and comfortable reading – Printed newsletters are much easier on the eyes. Reading articles of any length on a computer screen is uncomfortable and often inconvenient. Plus, a print newsletter allows you to mark sections you find interesting, take it to work and leave it there to be picked up by workmates.

6. Print newsletters stand out and get noticed – By using color, logos and a familiar return address, a print newsletter is easy to spot. With an inbox filled with subject lines, every message looks the same.

Here’s Your Best Bet

Make no mistake. There is a place for electronic communication with your customers. Websites and email are an important part of any business.

But the hands down best choice for keeping customers and getting more referrals and building relationships is to include print newsletters within your marketing mix

You can even offer your customers a choice. They will see that you really care about what they want, not just what you are willing to provide for them.

And that’s what relationship marketing is all about, isn’t it?

Pine Press Printing & Mailing delivers. Guaranteed!

Most printers limit themselves to accepting an order and printing as instructed.

Following orders is easy. That’s what most printers do. But printing is not just about producing your tri fold brochures, letterhead and magazine printing or whatever it is you are looking for. It’s not even about offering advice on the merits of lithographic printing and offset printing. It’s about the final effect that your printed document, whatever it is, has. It’s not just about what your color brochures say about your product. What is as important as the products is the way they are presented – the way the brochure is designed.

The best printers offer help in things like brochure design and printing to enable their client get the maximum benefits for the printing they are having done.

Do you want your newsletter to stand out from the crowd? We do!

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

December 09-1At Pine Press Printing & Mailing we are very diligent about getting our monthly newsletter produced, printed and mailed on a consistent and timely basis. We have learned over the 30 + years that we have been in business that it is not enough just to do a “good job”.  You have to do a “great job” and do it consistently.

In spite of an always busy workload, Lorie Taylor & her graphic design team put together the creative & informative “Business Forum” newsletter we mail you every month.  My wife Lori writes her own column with a personal message as well.  Without exception! Because we know that consistency is key when it comes to reaching you, our loyal patrons and future customers.

Being printers & mailers, we use the “Business Forum” to showcase our capabilities as well as our quality.  Our newsletter is always produced by Marty Funchess and his crew on our state of the art Heidelberg printing press.  Then painstakingly cut, folded & bound to produce the finest piece possible. We insist on sending it flat inside a specially printed envelope. Just to insure it reaches you in perfect condition. It is a labor of love and I hope you enjoy receiving it.

We don’t cut corners on our own work and we wont cut corners on yours.

Why not call us about sitting down with you and your team to discuss showcasing your business with the same care and consistency we do ours?

Pine Press Printing & Mailing Recieves Top 10 Award

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Jan. 13, 2010

Lori Moroz -  president of Pine Press Printing & Mailing of Lexington, SC receives “Top 10 Small Business’s” award in Lexington County for 2010.

At the Lexington County Economic Forum Wednesday night, Lexington’s Top 10 Small Business leaders were honored.

Describing her formula for running a successful small business

Mrs. Moroz said:

First, let me say Thank You! This is quite an honor to be named one of the Top 10 Small Businesses in Lexington County for 2010 and to be a part of this outstanding group of other great small businesses that are being acknowledged this evening.

Jerry Bellune has asked that we give two minutes on why we think our companies are successful. So I looked up what success means according to Wikipedia. It gives us a few definitions which include: the achievement of one’s aim or goals, financial profitability, and the opposite of failure. I specifically like the definition, the opposite of failure. Although there may be several failures on the way to success, you can only achieve success by not giving up and a determination to keep reaching for your goals. 2009 for Pine Press Printing and probably several small businesses was a very tough year – a year of tightening up the belt, leaning up the company and worker even harder to reach for these goals.

At Pine Press Printing, we may not have meet every goal this past year, but our determination to keep reaching will be our continued success in 2010. The only way a small business can be successful is to have a team – a great team that is committed and working towards the same goal.

I have that team (Melony Stuckey, Tina Phillips, Cretia Beasley, Lorie Taylor, Marty Funchess, April Amick-Sexton, Nathan Harmon, Doris New & Courtney Taylor). These are the people that make Pine Press Printing & Mailing successful. They are the reason that we survived and thrived in 2009 and they will be the reason we continue to be successful in 2010. We have built our reputation and integrity on superb customer service that goes beyond what is expected, doing what we say we are going to do, along with building relationships with our clients and our community. We believe in giving back. I don’t think that true Success can ever be enjoyed without giving back, whether it is to your church, your family, your schools, or your community.

Again, Thank You, I am humbled to be a part of this group of top 10 small businesses and proud to have a team that supports me and this community.
