Those are excellent ways to generate covers for brochures. A few examples are below. These are brochures that I’ve seen around town that made me reach for them and want to know what was inside.
“Plastic kitchen set. Dollhouse. Dollhouse furniture. Pink tricycle. $427.66. Your checking account balance… $302.86. Get what you need when you need it.” This was for a cash advance service. This particular brochure was printed before
Christmas holidays so it had special appeal to lots of people.
“Over 3,000 babies died last year alone due to improper safety seat installations. Be SURE your child is safe!” Obviously, this was for a child safety seat inspection checkup.
These make an emotional appeal, get
readers' attention, and make them want to know more.
Inside Panel Headlines
These are just as important to
process as
cover headline. Capture
true value of
information in each section and provide it to
reader within
headline.
Information Panels
For most brochures, making a sale on
spot is not
objective. Driving traffic to a phone center or Web site is. Therefore provide
most impressive product/service information on
inside panels in order to help accomplish this goal.
In addition to
information about your products/services, incorporate calls-to-action like:
“Call today for full details.” “Visit our Web site to see
complete color selection.” “Customer service specialists are waiting for your call.”
Once you understand
goals of your brochure, incorporate compelling headlines, and include a cover section that generates interest, you are more likely to see success from your brochure.
