Benefits of brochure design – are there any? Isn’t print dead? Shouldn’t you allocate your budget to less traditional marketing channels?

The answer is – based on our experience and the results we’ve helped our clients achieve – ‘no’. Often innovating in a more traditional channel will have a more lasting impression.

We’ve got a few tips and examples to demonstrate why thoroughly thought-out brochure design and content can be one of the most powerful sales and marketing channels you can add to your mix.

1 – Go beyond brochure design – Maximise print to generate online sales

One of the benefits of brochure design can actually be to increase traffic to your website. How? By going a step further and turning your brochure into an engaging piece of literature that makes your audience feel they’re browsing through a lifestyle magazine.

Page after page, these travel brochures are full of engaging design and content ideas, going much further than just selling another holiday.

Article-like features present an expert’s view of the travel adventures on offer.

Price listings at the end of the brochure are not an afterthought, with the way the information is presented receiving equal attention.

2 – Create memorable and effective ways of truly engaging your employees

Go bold, go loud, show them you care in an impactful way.

Print will help you create differentiation in the digital landscape. And with the sense of touch also contributing to creating powerful memories, you can go beyond design and functionality and consider the perfect canvas to transmit your message from.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to ways of organising your content – you can say so much in a small space.

You may want to rely on strong imagery, or let engaging copy do the talking. Why not combine both into a playful infographic to get across very specific data?

Or you can let your brochure design approach your employees in a much more subtle way, with a format that engages them from the first touch by adding a sense of personal discovery – one of the many benefits of brochure design that focuses on audience reactions.

3 – Launching a new product really is this simple

Exhibiting at a busy industry show? Of course you’re going to need more than an effective brochure design (and our exhibitions team can help), but it’s a great start, particularly if we keep it simple to allow your sales teams to interact with your target audience.

4 – Show me the money

Whether you want to attract investment for your property or funding for your initiative, make sure you strike a balance between impactful images that grab your audience’s attention immediately, and clever and engaging ways of organising content in a way that will make information easily digestible, and reaching a decision faster.
