However, these materials have a fatal flaw that print marketing materials do not: they are easily ignored.

Print marketing materials give your customers something tangible that they can interact with and keep in their home so that they are always being reminded of your business.

Now that you have your target audience in mind, it’s time for the fun part, choosing the photos! These photos have to be a part of a larger theme like photos from an event or trip, pictures of animals, or places that relate to your business.
