9 ideas to integrate print marketing and digital marketing:
- QR codes on printed marketing materials direct prospective customers to targeting landing pages.
- Include website URLs, Instagram names and Facebook pages on your printed business cards and brochures. Also include LinkedIn and Pinterest accounts if they are relevant to your business outreach.
- Have a call to action on your printed marketing This can be anything from a coupon code for an online purchase, to inviting them to follow your Instagram, to downloading your app for a sign up bonus.
- This strategy is in reverse. Instead of having a print marketing piece direct the potential customer to a digital platform, have the customer sign up for a print piece from the website. Collect email addresses and home addresses for the customer to be mailed printed catalogs, printed coupons and printed newsletters.
- With information collected on your potential customers, personalize your direct mail pieces. This can be as simple as including their name, or more complex by individualizing coupon codes and/or landing pages to their specific interests. Digital printing allows for variable data on each individual printed piece!
- Include campaign hashtags on your printed materials, and encourage its use on social media.
- In store displays such as table tents, banners and hang tags can inform walk-in customers about your business’s apps, social media, loyalty programs and other digital offers.
