Why Printed Inserts Matter More Than Ever
Digital advertising is everywhere. Our screens are crowded, our attention is limited, and ads come and go in seconds. In this environment, printed inserts offer something different: a real, lasting connection. They place your brand directly in customers’ hands at the exact moment they are most attentive, when opening a package they have been waiting for. At Affiliprint, we have been helping brands use this moment to make a measurable impact. Together with our content partner die Markenkuppler, we want to showcase why printed inserts are one of the most effective ways to create brand collaborations that truly last.
What Printed Inserts Are
Printed inserts are physical materials, such as flyers, coupons, postcards, or small branded gifts, placed inside an e-commerce delivery. They are not simply promotional extras but carefully designed touchpoints that add surprise, relevance, and tangible value to the customer experience. When someone opens a parcel and finds a well-crafted insert inside, the message feels personal and timely. It does not interrupt like a pop-up or banner ad but arrives with meaning and is therefore welcomed rather than ignored.
Why Physical Touchpoints Work
Online retail often lacks the warmth and the connection of a physical shopping experience. Printed inserts bridge that gap. They offer texture, weight, and colour, elements that digital media cannot replicate. These tactile qualities create emotional engagement and help people remember your brand for a longer time. Our experience shows that customers are more likely to read and keep a printed insert when it is visually appealing and clearly valuable. Whether it contains a special offer, a QR code for an online experience, or a co-branded message, the physical format makes your brand feel more deliberate and present.
When Printed Inserts Make the Biggest Impact
From our perspective, printed inserts are most effective for reaching highly targeted audiences at home, driving conversions with time-sensitive offers, and building long-term loyalty by creating memorable brand moments.. The ideal time to speak with us is when you are preparing a product launch, planning a seasonal campaign, or exploring a partnership with another brand to extend your reach. To get started, we only need your campaign goals, target audience, key message, and any co-branding opportunities you’d like to explore. From there, we handle everything from placement strategy to creative concept and campaign evaluation
Brand Collaborations Come to Life Through Printed Inserts
When two brands join forces, printed inserts can uniquely amplify their shared message. A co-branded insert inside a delivery not only increases exposure but also creates a shared experience for the customer. It shows that these brands align in values, style, or lifestyle.
Imagine a clean beauty brand partnering with a specialty tea company. A shared insert in the delivery box communicates that both care about self-care, quality, and sustainability.
To find and shape exactly these kinds of matches, we work closely with die Markenkuppler. They are experts in identifying the right brand partners and bringing them together in a way that feels authentic and purposeful. From the very first idea to selecting the right partner and designing the materials, they make sure every collaboration becomes more than just a nice concept.
More Than a Fleeting Click
Digital ads can disappear as quickly as they appear. Printed inserts tend to stay. They may be placed on a desk, attached to a fridge, or passed along to a friend. This presence delivers more than just impressions; it creates lasting awareness. At Affiliprint, we have seen how this format can help brands grow, drive conversions, and make a strong impression, especially when paired with the right collaboration partner.
Tangible Beats Temporary
Printed inserts are more than a marketing tactic. They are a thoughtful and tangible way to stand out in an over-digitalised world. They give brands room to breathe and make partnerships feel real. If you want to cut through the noise and leave a lasting mark, this is the place to start. Together with die Markenkuppler, we can create collaborations that are not just seen but remembered.
Let’s create partnerships together that are not just seen, but truly experienced.
