Brochures with a Mind of Its Own

Written by Janice Jenkins

Wednesday, 12 March 2008

What do you do when you go to a prospect to introduce your products and services? You'd probably be talking about all the stuff in your list, the benefits they can give your clients and prospects, as well as their prices. You provide all these information so you could convince them to try you out, or in the case of your current clients, to buy from you again.

You'd also surely focus on your clients and prospects, look at the possibilities where you can provide your service, and then explain how your product or service can satisfy their needs. And you'd definitely be armed with testimonies from your current clients to confirm how your products and services are so effective.

That's how you do it if you're a sales agent.

So why not do the same in your marketing campaign such as your business brochures?

Your brochure has proven to be an excellent marketing tool to promote your business to your clients and prospects. Not only are you able to showcase all the stuff you have in your business, with business brochures, you can also tell your whole story. So how do you make it more effective? Here's how:

1. Focus on the benefits.

Let's face it. Your clients and prospects are only interested in one thing - the benefits. It doesn't matter actually if you have a compelling message or not. Only a few people, or none at all will read your ad if you don't have anything to tell your clients why they should pick you. And the benefits can help you in that department.

2. Provide a clear call-to-action.

Don't be shy about it. You have to tell your readers what you need for them to do. If you don't, believe me, you actually miss out on the opportunity to get your readers to take action. They do need to be told what to do. So much so that if you don't have a clear call-to-action in your ad, they won't do anything about your message.

3. Don't expect more than what your brochures can do for you.

Your brochure printing piece is created to help you position yourself in your target readers' minds. It won't close the sale for you. So don't expect more than what your print ad can actually do for your business. The earlier you understand that, the faster it is for you to follow up on your clients. You may want to visit them or even place a call a week after they've seen your ad.

4. Provide consistency in your message.

If you have an array of print materials to promote your business, make sure you have the same message from one tool to the next. This way, your clients and prospects will be able to remember them easily. And don't forget to include all the information that your clients and prospects can use to contact you.
