8.5 x 5.5 Brochures

8.5 x 5.5 brochures can be a useful tool to have as part of a complete marketing campaign. With proper design, your creative brochures can show your potential customers that you are serious about doing business with them. Just make sure to get the best results with your 8.5x5.5 brochures with creative yet focused design:

• Use your space wisely so that your 8.5x5.5 brochures are not filled with excess content. Leaving room for white space will give your brochure a more professional look.
• Use color with care; too many different colors can look unprofessional. Definitely go with more than one color, though; one color brochures are simply not attractive.
• Choose fonts that are easy to read. You want your reader to take the time to read all of your content. Some fonts are just plain difficult to read, so avoid those.
• Write your message to your customer. Give them plenty of benefits so that they will see why you deserve their business.
• Make sure that your cover page grabs attention. Be creative and unique so that your audience will be intrigued.
• Inform your reader rather than pitch a sale.
• Use graphics that people are interested in. As your audience scans your 8.5x5.5 brochures, they will see your graphics first. If they are interesting, then your audience will move on to your text.
• Take advantage of your headlines and make then powerful. A very condensed version of your message should be in your headlines so that your readers want to hear more.
• Create a clear call to action so that your customers know how to take the next step.
• Make your contact information visible in at least one or two places. This should include a 1-800 number and your website at the very least.

Just as important as a good design is a good printing job. PrintPlace.com prints professional quality brochures at some of the lowest prices online. So place your order today, or if you are unsure, ask us for our free sample pack to preview the quality of our printing.
