Printed brochures have been and still are a very common and effective promotional tool for many businesses. At PrintPlace.com, we know they are portable, tangible and visual reminders of your company which herald the products and services your business provides, thus making them a vital element in any marketing campaign. With so much potential in a piece of paper, how do you maximize its effectiveness?

Start with the Layout
Almost everyone thinks they don't have time to read your brochure, or that they have something better to do, or that they need to rush off somewhere else. People are in a hurry. This is the first thing you have to remember when designing your business brochure. Your brochure should be eye-catching so that people want to read it.

PrintPlace.com offers easy-to-use downloadable brochure templates that you can fully customize to your preferences. When designing your brochure, make it easy to scan. The human eye instinctively goes from left to right, then top to bottom. Given that you have a limited amount of time to engross your reader, make sure you arrange your headlines and images strategically, keeping in mind how you want your message to be communicated to your client. Stress your sales pitches and features in bigger fonts. Outline the details further in the text using smaller fonts to reinforce headlines. Choose your images wisely and use those that communicate your message clearly.

All About Words
Now to the details. Avoid lengthy paragraphs. If your client has given your brochure a second look, you want to keep their attention by keeping your statement short. Bullet points allow you to be brief and concise. Start strong; end strong.

Customize Your Brochure For Your Audience
To catch the attention of your target market, you must tickle their fancy. Catch their attention and keep it focused on your brochure. This involves some research on the latest preferences of your target audience. Should you go hip or corporate? What mood should you employ for the overall look of your brochure? Should you take an informal or formal tone in your pitches? These all depend on the sector of people you intend to read your brochures.

Call to Action
They've finished reading your brochure, now what? It shouldn't end there. Turn your prospect into a client. Encourage them to do something to get their foot in the door. To do this, you may offer discounts or promotions encouraging them to get to started using your company at less than your normal price. Get them thinking that they're being given the royal treatment or that this is an offer they shouldn't miss.

Contact Information
Make sure your brochure also contains everything your client needs to know in order to contact you. Print your name, address, phone numbers, website, and email address on your brochures.
