Keep Your Eye On These Print Marketing Trends For 2020

Part of corporate and small business marketing and branding is keeping up with current and future trends. That means staying on top of industry, target market, graphic design, and print marketing news to ensure your business persona and presentation are cutting edge and exciting versus outdated and lagging behind the times. Unbelievably, more than half of 2019 is already behind us. That makes knowing and understanding the graphic design and print marketing trends that will get results in 2020 crucial for corporate and small business success.

Pull
Creating print marketing trends that capture reader’s attention is one facet of effective marketing. Creating calls to action that really do compel action is another. Your call to action must be equally enthralling and impossible to resist. Use every opportunity to add a call to action to your print and digital marketing campaigns that create a sense of urgency and lead to a tangible action that leads to a sale.

Color
Color plays a huge role in how your business is perceived and understood. It evokes emotion, inspires action, soothes and relaxes, and tells a story all its own. Using color shifts and transitions like ombres and gradients are continuing to gain in popularity. The way colors transition into each other is key to helping catch and keep the viewer’s eye.

Connection
One of the particularly important print marketing trends for 2020 is its connection with digital marketing. Both forms of marketing are here to stay – so ensuring they work together, complement each other, and create an in-house and public marketing cohesion is a must. Think of each form of marketing as an extension of the other and work to create print marketing pieces that mimic your website, social media profiles, and other forms of your online identity. 

Tangibility
One of the huge advantages of print versus digital marketing is its ability to tantalize at least two of the five senses. That ability to see and touch a business card, marketing postcard, or product tag is important in this day and age when online marketing is taking physical touch away from consumers in many ways. In fact, tangibility is so important that an entire field of tangible marketing exists. It extends from paper and card products to banners to imprintables and giveaways. 

Differentiation
The power of graphic design make creativity and differentiation take on a greater role in marketing and branding than ever. With the number of startups and entrepreneurships growing each year, more and more businesses are looking for ways to do two things. First, they must instantly set themselves apart from their plethora of competitors. Secondly, they must create logos, brands, and marketing materials that create a memorable connection with their target market.
