Print advertising may be facing a tough competition from other forms of advertising. However, it still holds a considerable mind-space from the consumers’ perspective. The reason being it is the only form of advertising which a consumer can refer back for information and updates after several minutes, hours or days may have passed post its issue. This inherent superiority of print advertising over other forms of advertising makes it an ever popular choice of advertisers.

Scientific studies have corroborated the fact that a well designed print advertisement, be it in newspapers, magazines or journals hold eye-balls for considerably more time than a television or electronic advertisement. On an average a print advertisement viewing time ranges between a low of 3-5 seconds up to a high of 15-20 seconds. And an interested consumer will get back to the advertisement again for more details. On the contrary television advertisement holds eye-balls only until the advertisement ends and often for a far lesser time period. Television advertisement is almost always is an expensive choice for advertisers. Electronic advertisement may have grown with leaps and bounds in the last few years, however, it still has limited viewership. Particularly in the Indian scenario where internet still has a long way to go to penetrate deep into the villages.
