How Foote Printing is Printing Differently

Foote Printing is not your run of the mill printing company. We try to set ourselves apart from the rest by doing our best to serve you, our employees, and our natural environment. We feel that what makes us a really unique printing company is that we are locally owned, we operate as a union, and perhaps our most crucial differentiator, we are doing our part to be an environmentally consciences company.

Locally Owned

Most printing companies are chains and not locally owned because there is a lot of consolidation in the printing market right now. However, we are one of Cleveland's only locally owned printing companies. Because of our locality, we are able to fulfill all your printing needs, anywhere from the smallest projects to the biggest, with fast and personalized service. We also aim to provide our customers with the best quality printing products and customer experience.

Considering we are a Cleveland owned and operated company, we boost the economic growth of our city. All of our profits stay in the Cleveland area and not only does our business's money cycle back into the market but so does the spending of our employees.

Union Ran

In addition to a customer-focused mission, we are also committed to providing our employees with the best career opportunities and growth potential. Therefore, we operate under a union so that our employees are more likely to have health care, pensions, and other benefits that unions can offer.

Direct Mail vs. Email: Why the Mailbox Still Wins for Leads | Foote Printing

Picture this: your inbox is crammed with hundreds of unread messages, but your physical mailbox still gets your attention every single day. Even the “junk” gets a glance. That moment—those few seconds with something in your hand—is where brands are built and leads are made. At Foote Printing, we live at the intersection of print and direct marketing. We love email for its speed, but we’ve seen time and again that the mailbox delivers attention, trust, and results you just can’t get online alone. Here’s why—and how we help you make the most of it. The Real Problem: Digital Overload, Diminishing Attention Email is easy to send and cheaper per message, but that ease creates a flood. Your customers are overwhelmed, filters are aggressive, and messages blur together. Meanwhile, people open their mailbox daily, touch every piece, and form split-second judgments that stick. Our job is to make sure your piece earns those seconds—and turns them into action. The Attention Advantage in the Mailbox Daily habit: People check and sort their mail almost every day. Your message gets handled, not just “marked as read.” Built-in “open rate”: Even if someone tosses a postcard, they saw your brand, offer, and headline first. Sticky brand recall: That physical touch plants a memory that pays off when they see your name online later. Tangible Means Trustworthy A well-printed, well-designed piece signals legiti

Clients are printing fewer, smarter pieces that work harder: more personal, more tactile, more connected to digital, and far less wasteful.

Printing in a Digital World: How Smart, Sustainable Print Cuts Through the Noise

Your best email probably didn’t even earn two seconds of attention. Meanwhile, a well-designed postcard sits on a kitchen counter and gets read twice. In a world of overflowing inboxes, phishing attempts, and disappearing feeds, print is the channel people still trust. As a Cleveland print company, we see it every day: print isn’t dying—it’s evolving. And when you use it strategically, it outperforms digital alone. Why Print Wins Trust (and Attention) In the digital world, skepticism is the default. People double-check sender names, avoid links, and ignore most messages. That’s exactly why print is surging back: It’s tangible and memorable—your brand lives on desks, counters, and trade show booths. It signals legitimacy—real materials from a real company. It stands out—especially when everyone else is stuck in the inbox. We’ve heard “print is dying” for 40 years. The truth? It’s simply evolving, and the businesses who adapt are the ones getting noticed. The Future of Print Is Integrated Today’s best-performing campaigns blend print and digital. You don’t need to say everything on the piece—just enough to spark interest and guide the next step. Here’s how we help clients do that: Use QR codes to bridge offline and online seamlessly. One scan, and your audience lands on the exact page you want them to visit. Leverage variable data printing for personalization. Tai
