Good news for print newspapers: They’re the most preferred method for getting ad inserts and fliers. According to a May 2014 study by Frank N. Magid Associates for the Newspaper Association of America (NAA), 39% of US adult internet users favored newspapers for receiving ad inserts and fliers, compared with just 21% who preferred the web and 27% who wanted them sent via mail.

Weekday newspaper inserts and circulars came in third, at 46%, and the lower percentage may be due to a lack of time for coupon investigation on these days compared with the weekend. Though weekday inserts trailed ads that came in the mail, they beat out digital sources.
