Sell Your Business With A Brochure!

Posted on February 19, 2008 | Filed Under Business Image, Business Marketing, Print Media, Smart Business

One of the best ways to get your business across to potential clients is to offer a brochure! What should you put in it? Well, remember that this is a selling tool! You want people to open it, right? So make it “pretty”, but also add a very good marketing message to the cover….invite them to learn more! People always want to know, “What’s in it for me?”, so you should use the cover to let them know!

professional brochuresIf you don’t have a clean, crisp logo (or other graphics) for the cover, now is when you invest your time and energy into getting them. A brochure should look as professional as possible! Inside, you should always keep in mind that you are selling yourself. Thus, don’t spend too much time on features….spend more time on the benefits of those features. Remind people why they want to do business with your company! Make sure to include your website address, so they can learn even more about your business through further investigation.

There are some great paper resources out there, that offer pre-designed brochure paper–perfect for anyone trying to save some money on ink and graphics. One of the best is: Paper Direct.

Remember to keep your information organized, and use headlines with bold text to lead into new topics. Write everything down on a legal pad first, in order to organize it, and check grammar. Ask colleagues to critique your work before you go to print. A well organized, nicely written, and clean brochure, can be one of your most valuable tools in selling your business!
