A catalog should effectively concentrate on products and see that they do not get eclipsed by other factors. Hence the first thing that you should consider is the colour scheme of the catalog and how all other important graphic components will be laid out in order to ensure that the product images do not look dull. You can make use of different colour mixtures and design variants using modern graphic design software and can choose your desired colour palette by making use of colour selection tools available in the software.

The second thing you have to focus your efforts on is the text arrangement of the catalog. You can also check out the appropriateness and efficacy of different fonts and colours in advance by using graphics tools. The text should contain description in which a brief effective summary of the products is given, with all their interesting aspects highlighted in minimum number of words.

Adding ornamental designs to the catalog is another important step after the fundamental layout is finalized. Modern graphic design with smart looks gives the catalog a particular splendour that is required to keep the customers hooked and interested in the offering.

It is a simple piece of paper but the initial impact that your leaflet produces is fundamental. If it’s shabby and unpresentable your prospect is left with the same feeling. This will slow your business growth.

Having a brochure professionally designed and published is a key to success in a packed market. Taking the time to make sure that your leaflet delivers all the key information in a way that is easily figured is something that only a professional can do.

If you are just starting out in business you may be tempted to do your brochure yourself. When I first started in business I did everything myself – not a good choice. That is why it took me 12 years before I was even comparatively successful. Heed my warning – go professional from day one on your marketing materials. They are an investment and not an expense. Professionally designed materials will deliver you customers and the cash flow to follow – the reason why you are in business.

A booklet has to use eye-catching design. It has to be brief in terms of the content and last but not the least, it must be successful in tempting people to make that call of action.

Here are three key design principles to follow when producing a pamphlet. Use them and you will see your results flow.

1. The cover:

The cover is your sales representative. Brochures are quite passive tools and you are not often able to ‘walk’ people through your leaflet. So you need to energize people to read further. The cover is the starting point so must be tantalizing and sharing the KEY values of WHY someone should read further. It should answer the WIFM question – What’s in it for me.

A good design company will show you at least three to four cover designs for your pamphlet. Analyse these designs to see which excites you the most. Ask your acquaintances their opinion. Does the cover answer the question WIFM? If it doesn’t energize and answer the WIFM question, then skip to another design that works or get it redesigned. Taking the time here to get it right will pay bounties later.

2. The Content:

Once they are past the front over then the content has to become the sales representative. So once again, the pressure is on to be great. Do not opt for cheap ineffectual content writers or ask the designer to write the content or worst still do it yourself. Instead make sure that a professional copywriter is doing the work. If your design company does not have a copywriter then engage one yourself.

Check Out that all the fundamental questions that a future customer will have about your merchandise are answered in a way that gets them to call you for more information. Do not go into ‘overkill mode’ and deluge them with too much information at this point in time. Remember the brochure’s job is to energize and get people to call you.

3. The call for action:

If your future customer has read the booklet then you have done a great job. All you need to do now is give them a compelling reason to contact you NOW.

Having things like a free call 0800 or’00 number distinctly shown (in big letters) can make a important difference. Having an email address is a clear bonus. Make sure these two are clearly placed in large clear type.

Even give your clients a special voucher on the brochure or reference code can help. But above all, make sure that you add a clear call to action. One way to do this is to readdress the KEY value of your service to your prospect in a way that will get them to take action. Remember value is everything. Individuals only buy something that is of value to THEM.

4. The piece that got forgotten:

I did this on purpose and only said there were three points. Well the last point is the one that can get missed. It is the ‘dummy’ one. Have you checked that you have these on your leaflet:

Phone number | Fax number | Email address | Web address | Country of operation | City / area of operation | Company name | And have you proof read for typo and grammar errors?
