Why print?
Print is important for a variety of reasons, including its ability to communicate information, promote products, services and events, and create a tangible, physical connection with an audience. Printed materials also provide a physical representation of a brand or product that can be held, touched and shared. This can create a lasting impression on the audience and help to establish a sense of trust and credibility.
