The Role of Print Media

The media landscape still keeps print at its heart. In-depth brand and designer profiles, trend reports and large-scale photoshoots, all name print as their permanent residence.

It doesn’t stop there. Real home case studies, expert opinion pieces, new product range reveals and “stylish buy” suggestions – the list of the opportunities for you to be featured is almost endless. Over the years we’ve built great relationships with the largest publishing houses in the industry, so we’re always in the loop about what’s coming up.

All that choice means it’s easy to get carried away. However, we’ll focus your message and target the relevant audience and media to get you the best results.

In Interiors PR, a picture is worth more than a thousand words. We help our clients style their pieces, select those all-important hero shots (for print and digital), and showcase them to right people.

We’ll also guide you in effectively planning your print media advertising strategy. We know it’s important to reach your audience in all the key places, and in lots of different ways.

Creating a Successful Print PR Campaign

A successful PR print campaign can take many different forms, and can work in many different ways.

The beauty of print is that the reader is holding something real as it can be kept for future reference or interest, in this way a print campaign can build and evolve over time. This allows for a variety of opportunities to see the product.

A successful PR print campaign may be stand-alone or part of a more eclectic media mix. Even if solely in the traditional media form, there are many different applications. These include national newspapers, supplements, local press, specialist titles, lifestyle magazines, regional magazines, business press, newsletters etc.

Securing Prominent Exposure in Interior Publications

In terms of interior publications specifically, a successful PR print campaign should include an element of all of the above. With a “drip drip” message or hero image which is seen multiple times and in multiple contexts; these could be in a roundup of similar products for “get the looks”, taking the lead in a national newspaper trend piece, a lead shot for an interior feature in a glossy magazine or a company profile in a B2B title.

One range, or product, can be seen in an array of interior titles over many months. For example, the gorgeous Opal Quiz bath from leading Spanish Bathroom brand Acquabella was featured in all the leading interior consumer and trade titles over a period of months. To name a few, Elle Decoration, KBB Magazine, Art of Design, Sleeper, Ideal Home, KBB Review, Living. It may be that the brand is developing a new line or moving in a new direction and this is where more “meaty” coverage can be generated. This may be through interviews, profiles, product features, advice columns, these are all elements of successful brand building and work particularly well in print.

Content for Print

Print is a wonderful medium; it is enduring and tangible, something to touch and feel, even smell! (some publications have a distinctive, evocative smell which makes them something special). Coffee tables are still in our homes, and it is great to have something beautiful to put on them, and this is where the range of gorgeous, glossy magazines we pitch to come into their own. Content for Print PR needs to be strong yet read beautifully. Obviously, the talented teams at the magazines use their own skills and creativity to create the content but it is up to us to inspire them, not just with gorgeous images but descriptive, informative yet persuasive copy.

Pass it On

One of the best things about print is the way that the magazines are shared, not just with family members but colleagues, neighbours, and friends too. They are a reliable source of information and a comprehensive resource which endures long after the cover date has passed. That is why print should never be overlooked, and yes, we move with the times and adjust our modus operandi, but we must never forget the bedrock of what Interiors and Lifestyle PR has been founded on and relish the great opportunities it provides.
