22nd May 2025 | Industry Insights Print’s Physical Presence: Building Brand Loyalty That Lasts Share In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, trust is both a brand’s greatest asset and most fragile currency. With research from IPIA, Madano, and Marigold revealing that 73% of respondents expressed greater trust in printed materials over their online counterparts. At Citipost Mail, we understand the critical role trust plays in building customer relationships. That’s why we specialise in helping brands create, target, and deliver impactful direct mail campaigns that stand out and foster genuine engagement. Print Cuts Through the Noise While digital marketing plays a vital role, it’s also increasingly saturated. Ads are skipped, emails go unopened, and social content scrolls by in seconds. In contrast, print offers a physical presence – it lingers on kitchen counters, gets pinned to fridges, and stays in sight. Print is not only memorable but also highly trusted. Its tactile nature builds a sense of authenticity and permanence that digital alone struggles to match. Personalisation Brings Print to Life When combined with data, print becomes far more than a flyer – it becomes a personalised experience. Including names, tailored offers, or purchase-based recommendations transforms print into a one-to-one communication, not just a broadcast. This kind of targeted messaging leads to higher engagement, greater emotional investment, and increased conversion rates. It’s marketing that feels thoughtful rather than intrusive. Case Study: Air & Grace Premium footwear brand Air & Grace partnered with us to strengthen customer engagement through personalised print. In October 2022, they launched an A5 printed catalogue, combining striking visuals with a 10% discount code. Smart segmentation based on customer geodemographic data ensured that the right message reached the right audience. The results spoke volumes: 4% increase in average order value 26% boost among top-performing customer segments A second mailing saw AOV rise by 18% This campaign proves that print doesn’t just complement digital – it elevates it.
