Advertisers must ensure the balance between print and online advertising reflects the changing role of public consumption habits, particularly the growing importance of online advertising in various stages of the purchase funnel.

It is estimated that by 2012, the number of Europeans who regularly use the Internet will overtake newspaper readers (in fact, it already has among those under 34 years). Equally rapid is the change in the roles which both channels play in the lives of readers. Europeans who read print and online use the Internet more frequently, allowing them access to more content and information and allows them to enjoy many of the main qualities of traditional newspapers and magazines.

When comparing print and online advertising campaigns, the latter is emerging as an increasingly important channel in each stage of the purchase process used by consumers, when users search for recommendations on products, need more security or compare brands. Internet users also show loyalty to their favorite web sites, since 84% visits them at least once a day.
