Research is discovering ever more fascinating facts about the intricate relationship between plants and honeybees. We have known for some time about the bees’ clever ways of exploiting flowers by communicating their availability to fellow bees through the waggle dance. Very recently, an Israeli researcher found that plants are doing their part to attract pollinators. Colourful petals and attractive scents lure the bees to the nectar source, but now this researcher has found that when flowers ‘hear’ the buzz of bees, they increase the sugar content of their nectar. Excreting sugar into the nectar demands much energy from the plants, so it makes sense that they only do it when it is likely to have the desired effect of attracting more bees.

Statistics reveal that 82% of magazine readers trust print ads more than online pop-ups. This is a testament to the credibility and authenticity that print marketing brings to the table. While digital marketing often dominates the modern landscape, the significance of print marketing should not be overlooked.

A beautifully designed print ad in a magazine can convey a sense of exclusivity and permanence, resonating with a target audience seeking a more tactile and enduring experience.

We understand that something magical happens when your brand is showcased in print.

Despite today’s fast-paced digital era, it is in the duo of online and traditional print marketing methods that businesses truly find their sweet spot.
