Writing Advertising Leaflets

Advertising leaflets cannot always be drawn up or created by professionals, due to constraints of money, particularly in small businesses, in which resources may be very tight. Small businesses may be caught in the cycle of needing more business to generate more money, but may also be unable to afford to pay for a professional designer to create advertising leaflets to generate the new business.

So, if you need to carry out the design and production yourself, then try to make any advertising leaflet stand out, particularly if it is to be displayed alongside those of other businesses.  Can you use a very bright paper, or bright print?  Is it possible to have a little logo or graphics on the front that will catch the eye and draw in potential customers to read it?

Whatever you do, always decide exactly what you want your customers to think about your business after they have read the leaflet. Try to get this message across.  If possible, come up with a strap line, a little slogan that may stick in someone’s head, so they will remember you.

Keep words short, to the point, and try to cut out any unnecessary words that don’t need to be in there. Your spelling and also your grammar should be perfect.  Don’t leave this to chance, to luck or to your distant memories of school: use a grammar checking package, so that you can be sure that there are no mistakes in your advertising leaflets that will make your business look unprofessional.

Finally, print on paper that is as good quality as you can afford, so that people think that your business is a successful one.
