Strategies for Creating More Effective Print Communications

Peter E. Toomey, Toomey & Friends Advertising

Barbara Balogh, Great Lakes Integrated

Thursday – November 11, 2010 - 11:30 A.M. – 1:30 P.M.

Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel, 5300 Riverside Drive, Cleveland, OH 44135

Program Description:  Despite the trend to digital communication, print is still a key component in the marketing strategy of many organizations. Focusing on two key elements -- what you say and how you say it -- this program will help you learn concepts and strategies for planning, designing and developing effective AND cost-effective print communications.  What You Say:  It will help you determine who your target market is (“Go fishing where the fish are.”), how to target your message to them and steps to improve your message.  How You Say It: You will learn rules to make mailers better, multiple media strategies to improve effectiveness and how to expand your thinking beyond simply print.

This seminar qualifies for 1 CAE and CMP credit.
