It's official: science backs the printed newsletter!
Recent studies by the Royal Mail into the results of picking up a piece of print, as opposed to reading the same content online, reveal remarkable insights. Human reactions are undoubtedly influenced by the action of touch over screen. This latest research showed:
• Mail is 49% more powerful in long-term memory encoding than the same information presented on a screen
• People felt printed media to be 33% more personally relevant than the same content delivered electronically
Interestingly, the results were reflected similarly across all age groups. So this is not just an old-fashioned, keeping up with the times, age-thing, based on nostalgia – it is how we are all made. The science proves that printed media generates a stronger human connection with all audiences.
Just think what a regular printed newsletter could do for building your customer relationships.
