Yet we should take small print in ads seriously, especially if we are converted.In print, ads are not so much of a bother; we can easily skip over them. On live TV it’s different.

This gave customers psychological control of the “order-to-delivery” process by making it visible: if customers wished, they could see th
There can be little doubt that email remains an effective method of communicating with clients. If run correctly, return on investment can be colossal. Even run badly, savings on traditional forms of marketing can still make email an attractive option. Some of the best-run email campaigns are naturally emerging from the larger organisations.

Ganging Print Runs
When you have multiple pieces that are all on the same paper and same ink colors you can sometimes gang or put multiple pieces up on the same press sheet.

There is some potential real savings in doing this but there are some drawbacks. First of all, if yo
