Brochure Design – 5 Ways of Making it an Effective Marketing Tool
Where competition is stiff, businesses have to depend a lot on its marketing strategies. Communication matters and therefore, brochures still remains one of the most powerful marketing tools to communicate with prospective customers. Your
brochure design
should therefore, include some of the essential features to make your products and services sell.
Your brochure design should be professionally created; else it will fail to produce the desired results. Brochures being a significant marketing tool play a significant role in the marketing efforts of your business.
Here we are going discuss about some of the ways you can make your brochure pop!
1. More of Images, Less of Text
There is no point in explaining your product features with dull text. It will make it look chaotic with text. Instead, use attention grabbing images and photos to keep reader’s occupied. Choose pictures that clearly spell out your business message. Remember that photos can explain your products or services better than words. Try to narrate a story with your images. And remember to place the images in a logical sequence so that customer can understand what you want to communicate.
2. Attractive Color Schemes
When you are thinking of designing a brochure for marketing your products, you have to make profuse use of colors. A simple, black and white brochure will not help in grabbing customer attention. You might say that colors might prove expensive. Yes, I do agree, but being frugal will not give your brochure that stunning look. You should use rich color schemes that match the flavor of your business. You might be wondering why I am emphasizing so much on colors! It is simply because an average consumer will not spend more than a couple of seconds to look at your brochure. Therefore, you have to hold their attention with attractive color schemes so that they open it for further reading. Here lies the success of designing.
3. A Logo is a Must
You also need to include the company logo in the brochure. Place the logo on the front cover of the brochure and at the top. Try to include a benefit-driven tagline with the logo on the front panel. Remember that it is the front cover that will make people to open the brochure. Therefore, the front cover should include a catchy one-liner that promotes your product.
4. Follow a Pattern
There should be a definite pattern when you are designing a brochure. Mostly people look at images first, then headlines and finally the content. You should design it, keeping this aspect in mind. Highlight your selling points mostly with images and attractive graphics. Thereafter, you should draw people’s attention to enticing headlines and finally to body content. However, my suggestion is using bulleted points in the body content instead of long and complicated sentences.
5. Persuade your Audience
After you have included the design elements into your brochure, it is time that you do some convincing. You can use the following tips to make it persuasive:
-Convince your audience that your products have a plausible solution to their problems.
-Generate a need, interest or concern.
-Convince readers to take some action after looking at your brochure i.e. a call-to-action.
-Accentuate the plus points of a call-to-action and the drawbacks of not doing so.
