Make a strong first impression with your printed marketing collaterals.
Sometimes the newest form of advertising is the oldest. What does that mean?
With so much attention focused on online advertising — such as inbound marketing, social media, analytics, click through metrics — the ‘old school’ methods often do not get the attention they deserve. While online marketing has transformed marketing for most businesses, traditional marketing tools still contribute significantly in marketing a business.
A form of printed literature is often the first point of contact target customers have with a business. Since you never get a second chance to make a first impression, having well-designed marketing collaterals is as important as effectively marketing your business. An investment in well-designed information cards, business cards, brochures, pamphlets, hand-outs, gift cards, direct mail postcards, etc., can be an investment in a strong first impression with your target customers.
What is an information card?
As the name suggests, an information card provides information about your business, products or services. It is a single-sheeter that a potential customer could take away and refer back to.
Five types of information cards
Business card
Your business logo and business cards leave the most lasting impression on your business. Investing in a professionally designed business logo and business card is often the most important design investment a business can make.
Business leaflet
A business leaflet provides an overview of your business, products, and services. Its design can reflect your business personality, values, history and more. It is important that any printed literature about your business reflects its style and personality.
Product literature
Whether you offer products or services, “product literature” provides an elevator pitch about what you offer. You should invest in printing literature about each product or service you offer, blending business identity, a unique design, and relevant information.
Point of sale literature
If your business establishment gets visitors – retail outlet, professional’s office, restaurant, hotel, etc., — you want printed information cards the visitors could take away and refer to. This improves your brand reach, recall and repeat business.
Mass Mailers
While email is convenient, traditional mass mailers like postcards and discount coupons are extremely effective. Ensure a good postcard design before you invest in postcard printing and distribution because the design can impact its effectiveness.
Promotional cards
Discount coupons can only be effective if they reach your customers. Advertising in newspapers can be expensive, and online coupons do not always reach everyone. Invest in well-designed promotional cards that you can mail to your customers.
