Brochures: For A Fantastic First Impression!
A cover letter to a potential client likely gives only a small piece of information about your company and its services. Potential clients are often bombarded with business advertisements which results in only a very short review before it is discarded.
A face to face meeting is a great way to inform a prospective client about your company and its performance. Unfortunately, often a single phone call or introduction is not sufficient enough to pull off an in-depth discussion. Imagine the negative consequence of someone at a later time being interested in your service but unable to match your name with your business card.
Brochures are a great way to sell yourself or your company and its products to the public. Mailing in bulk will cost less then normal and, as long as the brochure is eye catching the recipient will remember the product and company so that when someone the/she knows are inquiring about a product your company carries, he/she will pass this info along. Brochures are a wonderful way to advertise and is sometimes better than a business card.
Brochures often vary between a simple two-fold arrangement which utilizes a single sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper and a detailed 9 x 12 inch pouch folder comprised of 7-8 pages sewn together.
First-class design of a brochure will engage not only showy design but also careful scrutiny of the target, the particular level of classiness necessary, and reflection of market position in order to create an outstanding initial impression. In the end, a brochure should give prospective customers something that they will be reluctant to throw away.
