    How To Get The Most Out of A Printed Corporate Brochure
    Print marketing is experiencing a revival, with a 2022 study from Quadient finding that 2 in 3 consumers are more likely to open a letter than an email, with a further 39% saying that letters feel more personalised to them and their needs than receiving a bulk email message.When approached with some strategic thinking, high quality printed marketing materials will make your business stand out. As part of our design and print services, we’ve produced countless corporate brochures for some well known brands across Cumbria and beyond, including  Pioneer, Cranstons, and Higham Hall. We’ve created this guide to show you just how much thought needs to go into a printed brochure, if it’s going to be used as an impactful marketing tool. Here’s how to get it right.
