Certainly great design is essential. But have you ever wondered if the paper you select for your designs really matters? Does the paper help your client:
- Further enhance the perception of their brand?
- Increase the likelihood of consumers taking action to purchase the advertised product or service?
A recent study by MarketLab of 300 consumers in four major U.S. cities set out to determine just that. It involved an identical design for a fictitious health care company, and five popular competitive paper grades. Consumers were asked to rate each printed piece individually on a series of attributes, followed by a forced preference.
The Winning Paper … by a Long Shot
One paper, WestRock’s Tango, stood out from all the rest. In terms of enhancing the perception of the advertised brand, 45% more consumers had a favorable impression of the advertised brand on Tango, while there was basically no difference across the other four papers tested.
Likewise, for likeliness to take follow-up action toward purchase of the advertised brand, Tango had a remarkable 29% more consumers saying they were definitely likely to take action, while there was no difference across the other four papers.
When asked why they preferred the sample printed on Tango, here is a sampling of what consumers said:
“I would feel like the company I got this from cares about their image and their brand.”
“The shade of white is perfect because it is a pure white, which makes it look clean and professional.”
“I feel the materials used are higher quality.”
