A consultant can benefit
from having a marketing brochure. Having a brochure on your service will help
you stand out from the competition. The brochure offers prospects a detailed
look at your service. Make your brochure more than just a good looking piece by
making it sell your service.
Sells Message
Use a headline on the cover
of the brochure. This helps people that only skim the brochure by pulling them
into your content. “The cover of a brochure works like the headline of a print
advertisement. State your position or promise a benefit to the reader,”
according to Kenneth Roman, Jane Mass, and Martin Nisenholtz, in their book,
How to Advertise. Include your contact information, your name, company logo and
a visual on the cover.
Short Sections
Use headings that are
descriptive. Your brochure should be divided into sections that are easy to
understand. Use headlines and subheads that break down the information and make
the copy easy to read. Use a desktop
publishing software program that gives the brochure a professional look, breaks
the copy down into sections of text which are easy to read and look good in the
brochure.
Information
Brochures should be
informative. Give a lot of information here and explain your service, how it
works, how to hire you, website, prices, and testimonials of other clients that
hired you.
