Thanks to Darrell Zahorsky from About.com remind me that I should take 5 minute to test my brochure design. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m helping my mentor to run his business, so from time to time, I will involve in brochure designing for our company marketing plan. Every time after I finish the design, I never look back to my brochure and carry on with my other works. But I know it is worth to have a look and feel how strong is my brochure after reading DarrelÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s article.

Ã‚Â

So today IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m going to share his article in my blog here and below is the main point of the article:

Ã‚Â

5:00 Appeal to emotion - how your brochure can raise the buying emotion of customers.
4:00 Be Professional - What market you want to attack and design your brochure to approach them. Experience tell me that professional brochure donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t work with customers who look for low price.
3:40 Be Personal - Customers like to buy from people who can connect with them personally.
3:00 Achieve Readability - I bet you never read a brochure that full of words that hardly to read, donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t you?
2:30 Speak the language - Use simple language in your brochure. The point here is letting your customer understand what you trying to pass through your brochure.
2:00 Lead with benefits - Customers donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t care what features and how good is your product but they care about their benefits.
1:20 Have a single message - Think and pass a message to your customers in brochure.
0:50 Focus on a Product or service - DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t and never make your customers confuse with your catalog brochure. Simple always works the best.
0:20 Make an Action call - Remember to leave some contact information such as telephone no, emails or web site.
