They both have pros and cons. Print advertising has a reuse life, meaning that it can be picked up over and over again by multiple readers.

Internet advertising can be updated instantly.

both can be highly targeted.

You should consider cost per reach when trying to figure out this quesiton. The majority of the time, print advertising has a lower cost per reach than the internet.

when was the Marlboro man first used in advertising print or tv.?

1954. Wayne McLaren was the last one.

I met him at the same party where I met Bill Clinton in Little Rock, Arkansas. The man was shriveled, had lost a lung and told me the others had died of lung cancer. (Evidently there were a number of them, not just him.) He was very sick at the time, poor man.

He told me that they used to give them huge quantities of the cigarette free.

Is the JPG format most suitable for print and web advertising?

Posted on February 15th, 2010 by admin in print advertising | 4 Comments »


The BEST file to give a print shop is a vector file. If you have something important like a logo, you should have it in an Adobe Illustrator or EPS file so that it will stay sharp and accurate no matter the size (unless it is photographic, then PNG or TIF). That will be what your print guy wants. From that file you can make almost any other file you want. JPG is the most used (I believe) file format for the web. That is what I use. It is a lossy format however. That means every time you copy the file it loses some data.
