While printed advertisements and magazines may not be as effective as other marketing channels, the top October 2015 print ideas certainly hold their own quite well. Some of the most unusual ideas that are being used in print promotions include publications that double as hats, pop-up magazine issues that are only offered for a limited time, as well as print ads that are created with a range of mixed media.
Striking images are used in shocking campaigns for health, reinforcing the importance of good personal health and safety during breastfeeding.
A number of infographics on everything from careers to logos and burgers also make it easy to quickly get tips and updates on the latest facts spanning multiple industries at a glance. With the recent news of water on Mars, the 'Where Are They Now?' infographic points out what happened to various space satellites.
