| Compare the lifespan of electronic messages and their paper-based counterparts. Unless they are exceptional, Radio and TV messages disappear as quickly as they appear. An SMS is effective for maybe an hour; an email for a day or less; an event-related web or information website, (like the one you’re reading) needs frequent updating to stay fresh and relevant.
In the media mix of a large campaign, paper engineering offers a balance of longevity and hands on involvement.
Fun to play with, easy to keep!
 Electronic messages are short-lived and they are also intangible. This is a big challenge if you require an audience’s attention for more than 60 seconds. Conversely, Paper & Pixel’s messages prove to be long-lived and tangible. Notice how difficult it is to put down a pop up. It’s almost impossible to throw one away. |
An effective component in the media mix of your next campaign.
The long life of a paper engineered message depends on how it appeals to the playful side of your recipient’s nature. It has a kinesthetic, toy-like quality, it is something you want to pick up and find out how it works. You explore the movement of the piece with your hands.
Look up the phrase kinesthetic learning. It means ‘experiencing by doing’. By the way, it’s how you learned to use a telephone.
