Does your printed literature have impact?
Printed literature is often let down by poor design and weak text, leading to a lack of impact. Creating a piece which engages the reader is important, but it should not dilute its end purpose, which is to sell your brand, product or service.
What does your literature say about your business? Are your brochures clear and easy to read? Do your leaflets sell your current products and services effectively? Does your newsletter communicate your brand clearly?
Don’t get left behind
So why does low impact, difficult to read literature exist? Well it might not have been low impact at the time. Change is gradual and suddenly you might find that your literature just isn’t performing anymore.
In an increasingly digital world, printed literature remains a compelling and vital form of communication. There has never been a greater need for printed literature to be creative and thought provoking, in order to compete with an increasing on-line alternative.
Do not under estimate the benefits of memorable printed literature. It is easier to read from a printed page than it is from a computer screen. The high standard of a brand or service can be transferred into something tangible through a distinct paper stock or print finishing. This further emphasizes the importance of good design and an impactful piece of literature.
Don’t follow the crowd
All too often standard printed literature falls under the umbrella of lifeless A4 or A5 leaflets, booklets or newsletters. Think of how quickly your attention diverts away from literature that is text heavy or bland with no immediate selling point or direction.
A blank canvass
Think of printed literature as you would a blank canvas, there are surprisingly few limitations. The choice of paper stock has never been so vast. Anything from rustic uncoated textured paper, to coloured paper containing glitter. Even a comprehensive range of recycled paper options are available, which don’t cost the earth. All can help to promote your brand ethics even before a single sheet has been printed.
Think Outside the Box!
Embrace the vast array of print options available to you. Be it paper stock, size and shape of your printed piece, colour variations, professional imagery, print finishing techniques or succinct copy writing. By thinking outside the box and investing in good quality engaging design, your printed literature will go a long way to cementing your brand/product in the mind of the consumer.
