Print is Not Dead And Never Will Be According to Survey

Maybe print took a back seat to social media and the internet for awhile, but it’s totally possible that adults of all ages are turning back to print according to statistics presented by MPA Association of Magazine Media.

Survey states 91% of adults read magazines in the last 6 months. 94% of those adults were under age 35 and 95% of those were under 25.

That means the demographics that the wedding industry is looking for is reading magazines and we know that includes the niche magzines and regional magazines of the wedding industry.

So when you start working on your marketing budget to reach more brides, a well rounded campaign will include print, web and bridal shows.

Changing With The Times, When Your Wedding Marketing No Longer Seems To Work

As we travel through the muddy waters of these troubling economic times, we often begin to doubt if the marketing tool that used to work is still working.  While there have been some changes in how mainstream media work such as radio and television in reaching today’s brides, the truth  is most bridal marketing tools like bridal shows, wedding magazine print, wedding web sites still do the job they were created to do.  They bring brides to you!

I’m sure most bridal show producers and magazine publishers like myself agonize over bringing you the most leads and contact with brides possible. But the sad reality is we can’t make them buy from you.  The purchasing decision a bride makes depends on the impression she has of your business, your product, your professionalism and whether she trusts you to do the job she has in mind.

Today’s brides are not the same as yesterday’s brides.

  • She has trust issues (will you be in business tomorrow?)
  • She want’s something she may have never seen before (are you staying cutting edge?)
  • She wants to spend less money (do you have options for her?)
  • She may wait until the last minute to book (can you take on last minute bookings?)
  • She is staying young and you are getting older (how are you keeping a youthful look to your business?)
  • She wants everything personalized to her needs (are you still doing cookie cutter what you did 5-10 years ago?)
