Color communicates a professional, clear and concise message that will enhance a companys image while saving time and money by producing work that gets noticed, is easily understood and is remembered. It simply drives business!
Companies with the ability to output marketing literature, proposal, presentation materials, spread sheets and point of purchase material from a myriad of software programs in dynamic color will enjoy advantages over the competition.
Here are a few facts from DataQuest and the American Marketing Association about the impact of color:
