Why local print and marketing are important for Dutch entrepreneurs

In a world where almost everything is digital, we sometimes forget how powerful a business card, flyer or brochure can be. But these local print materials are still very important for businesses in the Netherlands. They help you stand out, look professional, and really connect with customers.

Printed advertising stays in people’s minds

People remember things better when they can touch them. A flyer in the mailbox or a brochure in a shop is often seen longer than an online ad that disappears with one click. Your business stays in the customer’s mind longer.

Local visibility Is very valuable

For many entrepreneurs, the neighborhood or city is their main target group. With posters, flyers, or ads in local papers, you can reach people around you directly. You show that you’re part of the community — and that builds trust.

print and online: the perfect combo

Print does not have to fight with digital marketing. In fact, they work well together. For example, a flyer with a QR code can lead people to your website or social media. That way, you strengthen both sides of your marketing.
