"Nic, print marketing is dead"

"Nic, print marketing is dead”

This is a common phrase I hear at least 5-10 times a week. While I do believe print still has some minor relevance as far as branding, I do agree that it’s not worth what it used to be and you are far better putting your marketing spend elsewhere.

Print marketing turnaround is between 24-48 hours. That's crucial marketing time.

Let’s look at an example of each: 

Here’s a screenshot I took last night from one of my agents just listed campaigns and as you can see the campaign has been going for around a week and we have so far spent less than $80 on the ad spend.

Let’s look at the results: 

* 8,822 people have seen the ad pop up on Facebook & Instagram.

* 572 people of those saw interest and clicked the link to find out more information.

* The average user saw the ad 1.34 times in the past week. 

* It’s cost the agent 0.14c for a potential new lead.

That’s kind of impressive so let’s repeat that.

It’s cost the agent 0.14c for a potential new lead.

Now, let’s look at an average just listed DL card campaign (500 DL cards) 

* Average spend - approx $150 - $250 (depending on stock, colours etc).

 * Maximum reach - 500 letterboxes.

* Providing buildings don’t have a security lock, the concierge who won’t let you through OR your DLs don’t end up in the bin. We’ve all had that happen, haven’t we? 

* Cost per new lead - stays the same, NEVER goes down. 

* Turnaround time - usually around 24-48 hours (that’s crucial marketing time). 

* You have absolutely no idea how many eyes have seen your DL card. 

It’s these reasons that agents are looking for alternatives for their marketing in 2020. 

Social & digital marketing:

* Is instant marketing. 

* Doesn’t harm the environment.

* Gives you EXACT figures.

* Reaches audiences print can never touch. 

* Results speak for themselves. 

* Cost effective.

* Is where your marketplace is hanging out.
