Brochures:
Standing out in a crowd
It's a zoo out there. How many pamphlets, fliers and brochures are you bombarded with each day, at home, in the office or even at the grocery store?
The market is SO saturated with these types of materials that, in truth, we think we have seen it all. Perhaps we have. So why do it?
Introducing your business to the individual
Brochures are like a first meeting - vital but not the end of the story. This is your chance to make a great first impression.
You know the rule about first impressions, right? Make it good but be honest. If someone is under the impression that you offer a service that, in fact, you do not, what have you really gained? Be HONEST about your business. And, more importantly, be proud.
Job one: Attract attention and arouse curiosity
Your brochure's first job is to get noticed amid the flurry of competing literature out there. This is job one, which is why it takes the first page. Your brochure cover should intrigue the reader enough to read on. There is plenty of space for details inside. The cover must be strong enough, clever enough, enticing enough to get them inside.
Inside pages: You've got their attention. It's time to SELL them on it.
Getting them inside is half the job.
This is what you have been waiting for -- a chance to showcase your business.
This should be the most succinct, to-the-point, jargon-free text you have
ever producted with regard to your product or service. Write it like you
are talking to the reader. Guide. Steer. Convince.
OK! You have baited the hook! You've snagged a fish! Now, reel it in!
Saved
the best for last. The last page has some heavy lifting to do. If you
thought getting them to read the cover was hard, or selling them on the
actual product, try inspiring them to take action. Now, that's hard! You
want them to buy
your product!
Join your team! Pay for your service! Come to your office and hear our
presentation. Well, now is the time to spell that out for them. Are you
ready?
