Our Brains Naturally Love Print

Ink Blob

In 2015, Temple University neuroscientists conducted a study using MRI brain scans to compare participants’ responses to digital versus physical media. The study revealed that paper advertising activated the ventral striatum, or reward center of the brain, more than digital media. Our natural cognitive connection with print is great news for marketers.

Many savvy brands have recognized the power of print’s multi-sensory experience, using it to their advantage. According to a recent study by Mequoda, 69.9% of adult Americans have read an average of 2.91 print magazines in the past 30 days. That’s good news! It seems that consumers love to hold printed pieces in their hands, now more than ever.

Print packs a punch!
