Business owners are as concerned about the environment as everyone else is. In that vein, they have been increasingly conscious about making sure they are as green as possible. Being green can be difficult when working on marketing strategies. Traditionally, many businesses have relied on print media to get the word out about their products and services.

But, that is not necessarily the case. There are ways to use printed marketing materials and still have your company remain green. Keep reading to find out how.

Foote Printing, a small family-owned operation in Cleveland OH, is not only at the forefront of a renaissance in print marketing, they do so while recycling 99.9 percent of the ink and paper they use, while powering their operation almost exclusively through use of solar panels on the roof of their facility. 

Leading the way in this reemergence of print marketing offered by Foote Printing, are some old staples from the past, dusted off and re-energized to clear a path through the digital clutter so your message can once more stand out from the competition. Among the print marketing vehicles driving this reemergence are:

• Print catalogs: Whether it be wholesale or retail, printed catalogues are a surefire way to help your products stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Something that can be put down during busy times, yet picked up later when it is convenient to scrutinize.
