The Science of Lasting Impressions: How Print Ads Engage the Brain

In a world of endless scrolling and fleeting attention spans, digital ads come and go in an instant. But print? Print leaves an impression.
Stroll’s premium, community-driven publications are the perfect way to reach an engaged, affluent audience—right in their homes.
Trust, Credibility, and Connection
There’s a reason print media carries weight. Studies show 76% of consumers trust print ads in magazines, seeing them as more credible and authoritative than the alternative. When your business appears in Stroll, it’s not just another ad—it’s a trusted recommendation, woven into the fabric of an exclusive, tight-knit community.
Memorable & Engaging—By Design
Ever notice how a beautifully designed magazine ad lingers in your mind long after you’ve put it down? That’s because print engages the brain differently. Research shows readers are 2.5 times more likely to remember print ads compared to other methods. And since print requires 21% less cognitive effort to process, your message sticks—effortlessly.
An Uninterrupted, Premium Experience
In an age of distractions, print offers something rare: focus. A Stroll magazine isn’t bombarded with pop-ups or competing content—it’s a curated, high-end experience delivered directly to the doorstep of your ideal clients.
Luxury That Lasts
Stroll publications stay on coffee tables, kitchen counters, and bookshelves for weeks—sometimes months. That means repeated exposure for your brand, reinforcing your message with every flip of the page.
Bottom Line: Print Isn’t Dead—It’s Just Underrated
While digital advertising certainly has its place—just ask our in-house team of digital marketing experts— print remains a powerful tool for building credibility, engagement, and brand recall.
