In the advertising and business world, competition is rife amongst the individuals who strive to sell their products, so the pressure is on from day one. This is only becoming enhanced as our world changes at the hands of the rapid technological boom. Patience is a foreign concept as we expect services to be instantaneous whilst also being relatively straightforward. However there is still substantial evidence that proves how the print industry holds a sentimentality to the customer which is irreplaceable from the modern tech world. Perhaps these two media forms could be allies instead of enemies?
