Brochure distribution
Wonder if anyone even uses brochures anymore? They absolutely do.
In fact, new research conducted by the Center for Marketing Technology at Bentley University confirms that brochures are the #1 in-market influence on visitors’ decision making process.
What’s more, the influence of brochures from a display stand (69%) has edged ahead of web sites (68%) when a tourist arrives at their destination.
Every brochure represents a potential customer—and delivers qualified leads at a cost no other vertical can provide.
Are they also doing social media and online digital campaigns? Of course! But the fact is, the ability to get in front of and into the hands of millions of visitors each year is an opportunity you can’t afford to miss. (Got more questions? See our FAQs)
