So much is happening in the print industry that it can be hard to keep up.

Discover new technologies and advancements in print
According to a new market report by Smithers Pira, growth in digital print will continue onto 2024 and with growth comes development. New technologies and advancements in print keep us all on our toes and at Northside Graphics we make sure we’re always at the cutting edge of our field. Whether changes come with new machinery, changing printing techniques or new formats, our customers expect to be fully informed, so we asked a few of the guys at Northside Graphics, what’s new in the world of digital printing?

David Brown, Sales & Marketing Director, told us that Northside Graphics’ determination to stay ahead of the game has led to an extremely busy year. “At the annual Hewlett Packard dinner it was announced that Northside Graphics is their fastest growing customer in the whole of the UK and Republic of Ireland. They’ve seen a 44% increase in impressions in the last six months compared to the previous year. This is in comparison to the average increase of 10.8%” says David. “Over the next few years we’ll see more advancements in large format print, including banners and mesh around buildings. We already supply a great range of large format outdoor advertising products. Customers love outdoor advertising because of the huge numbers of people who see it. It really has a big impact on sales and on brand awareness.”

David Cleland, Northside GraphicsDavid Cleland, Account Manager, told us how Northside Graphics intends to deal with an even higher demand for digital print. “Demand for our small format digital print products increases every month. From stickers and stationary to brochures or books, our HP Indigo presses are never silent. We’ve introduced a new nightshift to make sure we stay ahead and always meet our customers’ deadlines.” David also told us why print remains so popular: “People are much more likely to engage with a printed product than with information they see on screen. However, print and digital media also work well together with some customers using leaflets and stickers to grow their brand while driving traffic to online stores or social media pages.”

Emma Lusk, Northside GraphicsEmma Lusk of the sales team welcomed new machinery that she says will further strengthen Northside Graphics’ reputation for delivering quality print with fast turnaround. “We have just bought a lot of new kit including a new booklet making machine, a new laminator and a new creasing machine, so we now have two of absolutely every machine” Emma told us. “Our customers’ deadlines are our deadlines and the new machinery helps us deliver their print well within the time frame they require.”

Six, 48 and 96 sheet billboard posters are everywhere.

You can’t walk or drive around Belfast without noticing billboard advertising – a medium that is enjoying considerable growth at present with many local businesses and advertisers discovering the enhanced benefits of outdoor advertising campaigns.

As Northern Ireland’s oldest and largest digital printer, Northside Graphics has been supplying outdoor advertising to our customers for nearly 30 years. Our outdoor posters are extremely popular and come in three sizes:

– 6 Sheet Adshels are often seen on the end panels of bus shelters.
– 48 sheets are the full-size billboards we see everywhere.
– 96 sheets are double length billboards.

Billboard advertising really works
Studies show that 92% of shoppers say they’ve been exposed to an outdoor advert 30 minutes before purchasing. Compare that to newspaper advertising at 4% and radio at only 36%. On top of this, 82% of shoppers surveyed said they had impulse purchased that day. That’s the power of billboard advertising!

Billboard advertising is extremely cost-effective
When it comes to advertising types, outdoor enjoys the lowest cost per thousand people who’ll see your ad. That means billboard advertising is superb value for money. At Northside Graphics, our new customers are often surprised at the low cost of billboard poster printing, so if you’ve always thought outdoor advertising is beyond your budget, call us for a quote. We’re sure you’ll think again.

How billboards can help your business
Billboards give you mass exposure
Unlike other forms of advertising, billboards are part of our environment. In Belfast and throughout Northern Ireland, outdoor advertising is already all around us. We can’t ignore it. And that means huge numbers of people will see your message.

Billboard location can target your perfect audience
You can place your billboards anywhere you think your target market is likely to be. If they shop in or regularly pass a particular place, putting your billboard close to or on the way to that area will get your message in front of those people most likely to respond.

Billboards grow your brand
Billboards are great for growing and increasing awareness of your brand. When people see your company or brand on a huge billboard, they’ll know you’re serious about your business and assume you to be a major player in your field.
