Brochures

A brochure that describes your business can be a very useful and inexpensive marketing tool. A brochure can be used to remind existing customers of your full range of products and services and it can be used to introduce yourself to potential new customers. A brochure can be very detailed or very general. It can be professionally designed or you can do it yourself. No matter how you chose to do it, there are some important things to make sure you include:

1. A clear idea on how you intend to use this brochure.
E.g. I'll use this brochure to get people to sign up for membership before I open.

2. Three brief paragraphs on what your business does?
What you do in general? What makes you unique? E.g. We are a fitness center that is located in downtown, that offers the latest in technology for exercise and fitness training. Our trainers are all qualified and nationally certified. You'll love our free towel service.

3. Three or four sentences on you personally.
What qualifies you for your business? E.g. I've been a fitness consultant to top metropolitan health clubs for 14 years. Every year I go for to the Association for Fitness Conference and Training. So I am always aware of the latest technology and research

4. Pick three features of your business and describe the benefits in detail to your clients/buyers.
The chart below helps you define features from benefits.

 
Feature
Benefit
Free initial evaluation Instant feedback motives you to exercise
Top of the line treadmills Always here, when you need them
Exclusive contracts with trainers Learn how best to meet your goal

 

5. Paragraphs that address the reason for the brochure.
E.g. When you choose to become a member before our Grand Opening on September 8, 1998, you'll not only save 15% on your membership, you'll also receive free guest passes, personal lock for a locker, and a water bottle.

6. Any logos or slogans you use

7. Accurate contact information (address, phone number, e-mail, and web site)
