As we said before, choosing the right brochure format will determine its effectiveness.<br /><br />It isn’t necessary to have your brochure format already decided; you could have in mind some options or your design company could suggest you a specific format depending on your objective. Some formats are chosen not only for the way the information is presented in these, but also for their comfort and morphological aspect. For example, a marketing investigator would rather prefer presenting his marketing investigation in a bi-fold brochure with inserts, because it would be not only the more convenient way, but also it would allow him to put his report inside the folder, to have his name and the company name he works for or the one that requested the report on its cover.<br /><br />These are the more common formats; they’re followed by a picture in order for you to imagine which one you would like to order for your company.<br /><br />Bi-fold brochure Letter or A4 size<br /><br />Letter Brochure Sample<br /><br />Leaflet Letter or A4 size<br /><br />A4 Brochure Sample<br /><br />Bi-fold brochure A3 size<br /><br />A3 Brochure Sample<br /><br />Tri-fold A3 size<br /><br />A3 Brochure Sample<br /><br />Folder with flap and inserts<br /><br />Brochure Sample<br /><br />These are the more usual formats that generally contain or help to organize the brochure functions. But sometimes there are other formats not so well known that you could use for a specific situation. Among those formats we could mention the envelope, having an enveloped designed could be really effective for your corporate image. Sending envelopes with products, services or promotions information is an investment. A potential customer will consider your company as an important and prestigious one, even more if he receives a letter with your corporate image on its envelope. Some people think that having your own envelopes is just a detail, but it can’t be denied that your company will be seen in a different way than before.<br /><br />It doesn’t mean that if your company doesn’t have its own envelopes it’s not a prestigious one (that happens with major companies), but we want you to consider this brochure type as an interesting an affordable way to improve your corporate image.<br /><br />Having a brochure will improve your image and your profits.<br /><br />The size is other morphological aspect. You have to consider the brochure size when you’re thinking about your brochure design and objective.<br /><br />It’s important having the brochure size chosen at the time of designing, because it will determine how the designer will be working. It will be different for him working with a small brochure than with a big one.<br /><br />The format and its size have to coincide with the intention of your brochure. For example, doing a tri-fold brochure with an A3 size to be given out in the streets is not effective, because it would be difficult to be kept and would be inconveniencing the receiver. And if the receiver decides to keep it, he would need to fold something that is already folded (the way a brochure is folded is the way that you want the information to be read), and when he decides to read it, he would be having in his hands a brochure that doesn’t show off. This is a damage for you and your company. Therefore, the best solution in this situation would be having a smaller size than before, so that could be kept without having to be folded.<br />designing a brochureUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480286262489233275.post-25965232602860587952007-12-25T11:18:00.000-08:002008-01-02T05:23:01.988-08:00What is brochure?The brochure is one of the best ways to present your company. There are tri-fold brochures used to advertise a new product or service that your company offers, or there are bi-fold folders that are used to present your company projects outside or inside it. There are different brochure types, and every type has a different way to be designed. The criterion adopted to design a bi-fold brochure to present your company projects for internal use would be different from the one for external use.<br /><br />A well designed brochure is the best way to introduce your company to your potential customers.<br /><br />A brochure has three functions:<br /><br />what is a brochureInformative function: a brochure is usually used to inform your potential customers with regards to your company. This information is related to your company presentation, a new product or service that your company offers, or a recent change in your company name, etc.<br /><br />brochure designAdvertising function: a brochure is really important as an advertising tool, which attractively allows you to promote one or more products or services. For further details this function will be analyzed in the section called Advertising aspect.<br /><br />brochure designersIdentification function: a well-done brochure design allows you to maintain a same criterion through all your company brochures. If this criterion (sometimes called concept) is unified in all the brochure types, it will make your company to be recognized automatically. It will give to your company prestige and credibility. It is important for your company brochure not only have a “concept”, but also to have a logo: a well designed logo is essential for any company, is one of the first steps to start an advertising campaign.<br /><br />These three functions should have an interaction. The brochure should be the result of that interaction, otherwise it won’t be effective. Maybe one of those stands out more than the others, but this shouldn’t affect your brochure design. For example, if your company launches a new product and decides to have a brochure designed for this launch, the function that will stand out on your brochure would be the advertising one, even though this brochure could have information regarding the product and at the same time represent your company.<br /><br />But if your company presents a project to another company’s executives, the function that would appear at the first sight in this brochure is the identification one, which makes your company to be seen secure and prestigious, while the advertising and the informative functions would be in a second place.<br /><br />The brochure is very important when we talk about your corporate image. You have to discuss with your design company what would be the best brochure format to choose, since that choice is decisive if you want your company to be identified in an efficient way. An advertising brochure could be colorful and have big typography, but those characteristics aren’t the right ones for a project presentation, since that project could have a simple, austere and formal brochure design. Morphologically it’s not the same presenting a project with a tri-fold brochure than with folder with inserts. Maybe both options ate right, but you have to decide which one will be more convenient and if it will maximize your benefits.<br /><br />You could find out more about this morphological aspect in the section called Brochure types, where we’ll be showing you different brochure formats.<br /><br />In a few words, to plan your company brochure you have to:<br /><br />bifold brochure designThink about your brochure objective and function.<br /><br />trifold brochure designStand out one of its functions, like informative, advertising or identification functions.<br /><br />what is a brochureCheck if those functions are in the brochure, even though one stands out and the others don’t.<br /><br />brochure designChoose the right brochure format based on its objective.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480286262489233275.post-56718896016803013012007-12-23T11:44:00.000-08:002008-11-18T14:30:22.587-08:00Cool business cards to inspire youBusiness Cards, the Calling Card …with their everyday and ephemeral nature but also as a keepsake - a token of remembrance.

Yet their address? Something very similar to <tt>hername1234@comcast.com</tt>. Does that instill trust? Do you feel instantly that she's a professional more than capable of handling my large business transactions? Or the chap who forgot the <tt>.com</tt> at the end of his email address. Not a huge error, but checking for typos is #2...</li><br /><li><b>Avoid Typos</b> -- Again, another basic one. Proof read, proof it again, and ask someone else to check for spelling mistakes, grammatical glitches, typos in email addresses or domain names, incorrectly use of punctuation, and whatever else can sneak up and ruin your business card. Remember, this card is a tiny little billboard and every time someone looks at it or pulls it out of their wallet / desk, you want to give the very best possible impression.</li><br /><li><b>Don't Include Too Much Information</b> -- Most people get this one right, but one of the cards I received has a company name, a seven word slogan, then a thirty word paragraph explaining what the business is about! I love so-called elevator pitches as much as the next entrepreneur, but I'm just not sure that needs to take over the front of a business card. Oh, and sticking it on the back isn't much better either.</li><br /><li><b>Add Some Color</b> - I know, not everyone can afford color business cards, but it's really hard to have an attractive card that's just black mono-font material on a white background. If you're just distributing contact data, that's probably fine, but if you want to have it stand out, to really help convey your unique value to your potential client / customer / JV, then consider a color logo, color rule line, color fill, or photograph. There are lots of splendid - and remarkably inexpensive - choices for great color cards.</li><br /><li><b>Leave The Back Blank</b> -- I believe pretty strongly in having the back of business cards blank so they're space for notes. People are going to write notes on 'em anyway, why not give them some space? Further, this means that your fancy slick glossy finish is a problem (people can't write on them) and that any color other than white or a very light yellow or grey for a quality paper stock is a real problem. For about a year I had a card with a lovely dark blue back color, until I realized that every time I gave someone a card they ended up writing on the <i>front of the card</i> since the back was essentially useless.</li><br /><li><b>Have Business Cards</b> -- Explain this one to me: four people paid the money and spent the time to come to a weekend conference about online business success, but had to write their name and contact info on a piece of scratch paper because they "didn't have any business cards yet." That's no excuse at all, in my eyes. You can pop into somewhere like Kinko's or use an online service and get a small box of even the most rudimentary business cards for $20. Everyone in business should have an up-to-date business card. Everyone. Yes, even you.</li><br /><li><b>And A Special Category For PR Folk...</b> -- There's a special spot reserved for PR folk who think that we care about the name of their agency and its logo. We don't. We care about the companies that they represent and work with, yet I have <b>never</b> seen a card from a public relations person that listed, on the card, the companies they rep. Or a card from the company they work with that lists them as "Public Relations, XYZ Agency" and has the appropriate contact info. Surely this can't be too hard, but my stack of cards includes many, many PR cards that I've had to deface by scrawling "Phillips", "Nintendo", "Microsoft", "Symantec" or whatever other company they work with...<span style="TEXT-DECORATION: underline"></span></li></ol>Hopefully can help you to

This is one of the marketing strategy to advertise your business. In this effort, no other tool compares to a quality, printed card. Something you can hold in your hand and keep around. With so many options, why waste the opportunity on basic cards?</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.25in">The golden rule with print marketing is Always Be Branding. Think about making your card work harder. What good is a business card that just gets thrown away? Conversely, having a business card that makes a real, lasting impression is invaluable. Make something that people will want to hold onto, show to others, pass along, and refer to. Illustrate the unique qualities of your business in a memorable way. To do this, consider the <a href="http://http//www.logodesign.com/logo_design/page/4/">properties of a business card</a>.</p><ul style="MARGIN-TOP: 0in" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Visual</span>: Here’s your first opportunity to impress with design. Your logo may be integral here. The card should be designed to stand out among others. Use image, card alignment, and color to differentiate. In many cases, the cardholders face can be the most memorable and effective image.</li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Tactile:</span> The card will be handled at some point; this is a chance to create a sensory memory. Then, the card will likely be referred to and shown to others. Add interest with coated, textured, or heavier papers. You can also add embossing, raised printing, interesting cutouts or a different, non-rectangular shape. Cards can be printed on nearly anything: wood veneer, leather, stickers, chocolate, even rubber. Stretchy Card <a title="Stretchy Card" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMnqZwCjj0vylcXZZ7-yH13mcl7aiknDFaDiQLH7opE6L0apcmyiqE-qGhj2L8RUzvq10-u5IAZoofFGjQGTfbjNCVoLNMaA0E0mhGvH6NkevxHG6_i8PZATz4t6tEPjpE6Zj-V6Ju1WLC/s1600-h/poul_nielsen-711471.jpg"><br /></a></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Mobile</span>: Great business cards will work as a referral even after they’ve left your hands. Maybe your initial contact won’t become your customer but someone they know will. Don’t be afraid to give out two cards if you want. You know your card is working well if people are asking for another to give away. Here’s a take on unforgettable business cards <a title="unforgettable business cards" href="http://www.mmmaven.com/44/how-to-make-your-business-cards-unforgettable/"><br /></a></li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Two Sided</span>: It seems obvious, but the back of a business card is the most overlooked thing since the coin pocket. This space can be used just to further your branding message with graphics or quotes, maybe even a joke. Find something unique that relates to your business and message.</li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Multipurpose</span>: Your card can double as something else if you really want it to be seen. Add usefulness to the card so it serves another purpose. By adding a chart or referential tool, people will continually look back at your card. Use it as an appointment card, frequent buyer, or discount card. You could even print on an actual wallet-sized tool like a magnifying glass, mini light, or ruler. There are endless possibilities here.</li><li class="MsoNormal"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Informational</span>: Let’s not forget the end purpose of the business card: making contact. The point is to have customers and networking contacts that use your services. It’s most important that contacts know how to reach you. Work with the design of your contact information. It doesn’t hurt to make people want to look twice in this case. If you want them to call, your number should stand out. If you expect customers to visit a location, that should be prominent or even mapped.</li></ul><p class="MsoNormal"></p>Put in the extra effort and watch your print projects work for you. The difference between sufficient marketing and effective marketing is everything. What may seem like extra cost and effort will actually bring immeasurable results.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
