Mini Brochures for Your Business
August 08, 2009 | By
If you want to be heard about, check this out! In my opinion, this is one of the best ways to put your name out there.
For one, these brochures are so cute (see the Etsy listing for them here).
Two, they are very effective. Other handouts are not laid out where you can showcase items or services as well as this idea does. These promo catalogs are designed to catch your reader's eye, show them what you offer, and bring in sales.
You simply choose your favorite items, send in your pictures, and let the designer do the rest. Plus, they will print them for you. It's absolutely painless! It's up to you though to make the real magic happen - getting them to your customers.
One of the great thing about these catalogs is that they are small and portable. You can take them anywhere, just like a business card, so they are easy to hand out.
You can give them to your friends or coworkers. Or try asking a friend who owns a shop to set them out on the counter. Many businesses like to support each other in this way. Perhaps you could do something for them in return such as posting a link to their website on your blog as a thank you.
These are also great for mailing with shipments. Many times, you will have repeat customers, so why not remind them what you offer or show them items they may have missed. Also, if you ever do vending, definitely set these out at your table. They are much less likely to be overlooked than business cards when sitting on your table or in your customer's wallets.
Another great idea is to replace a photo of an item on one of the pages and add a coupon instead. I can't imagine a more awesome advertising tool than this. They are fresh and modern, cute, effective, and portable! It's a perfect way to help people not only learn about you, but to also make sales. Who could resist!
