Quotes:
“Print is definitely not dead. It's just changing like anything, like SEO, like any digital channel. It just changes. We've had to change with the times.”
“It's usually less competitive in a mailbox. If you think about your inbox—how much email you get. Email is still very important, but it's just very congested.”
“They're basically just using direct mail and digital to fully blanket their customer because you don't know where you're going to get them to respond.”
“If you have the budget to do both print and digital, that's always the best-case scenario because you're getting multiple touchpoints.”
