THE ART OF PERSUASION
Let me send you our brochure is probably the most commonly used phrase in business. But all too often, it can spell the end of a customer enquiry because many brochures appear to be produced not to clarify and to excite but to confuse. So what goes wrong and how can it be put right?Too often, businesses fail to ask themselves critical questions like, Who will the brochure be sent to?What do we want to achieve with it? The truth is that a brochure has usually been produced for no other reason than that the competition has one.
However, with a little research, it oftentranspiresthat what the client wants is a mixture: part mail shot, part glossy corporate brochure and part product catalogue - a combination rarely found. Having said that, the budget is likely to be finite.There may not be enough money to meet all three marketing needs, so the first task is to plan the brochure, taking into account the most significant of these. The other requirements will have to be met in a different way. After all, introducing the companys product range to new customers by mail is a different task from selling a new seasons collection to existing customers.
The second task is to get the content right.In 95 per cent of cases, a company will hire a designer to oversee the layout, so the final product looks stylish, interesting and professional;but they dont get a copywriter or someone with the right expertise to produce the text, or at least tidy it up - and this shows. A bigger failing is to produce a brochure that is not customer focused. Your brochure should cover areas of interest to the customer, concentrating on the benefits of buying from you.
Instead, thousands of brochures start with a history lesson, Founded in 1987, we have been selling our products .. I can assure you that customers are never going to say to themselves, Theyve been around for 20 years - Ill buy from them.Its not how long youve been in business that counts, its what youve done in that time.The important point to get across at the beginning is that you have a good track record. Once this has been established, the rest of the brochure should aim to convince customers that your products are the best on the market.
It is helpful with content to get inside the customers head. If your audience is young and trendy, be creative and colourful. As always, create a list of the benefits that potential customers would gain from doing business with you, for example, product quality, breadth of range, expertise of staff and so on. But remember that it is not enough just to state these;in order to persuade, they need to bespelt out. One possibility is to quote recommendations from existing customers. This also makes the brochure personal to you, rather than it simply being a set of suppliers photographs with your name on the front.
At the design stage, there are many production features that candistinguishyour brochure fromthe run of the mill. You may think that things like cutouts or pop-ups will do this for you and thusmake you stand out, or you may think they just look like designer whims that add cost. Go through all the options in detail. One of them might be that all-important magical ingredient.
