A Patriotic Choice Marketers aren't the only ones who see value in printed materials. Recent statistics reveal Americans really like print too and actually prefer paper-based media in today's digital world. Maybe it's the overload of social media and how the constant reminder of another incoming email on our smart phone never seems to fade, but in September 2011, Americans declared their love of print in a survey commissioned by Two Sides, a nonprofit organization created to promote the responsible production, use and sustainability of print and paper. According to the survey: • 70% of respondents, including 69% of 18 to 24 year olds, state they "prefer to read print and paper communications, rather than reading off a screen." • 68% of respondents believe that paper records are more sustainable than electronic record storage. • 67% of respondents stated paper is more pleasant to handle and touch than other media.
