Option 2: Brother Creative Center

They allow you to design online and let you download a print-ready file but we could not find any option of adding bleed. This may be a good option when you need to print only a few cards at home.

Are you starting or already running business or marketing, It always comes as challenging question: How to make a brochure? Here are some tips to start! Brochures are brilliant marketing tool to inform your prospects about your organizations and offerings. Neither your sale person can share all the details about your offerings nor can client retain all the information. Clients need some literature for future reference that flyers or pocket folders cannot fulfill. Apart from sharing information, a premium and attractive brochure also creates a good impression about your business. Hence we should not compromise with design or print quality of brochures. If you are planning to Print brochures, your main focus should be on visuals and content format.

Attractive visuals

Creative and eye-catching images and background are very important to make an attractive brochure. Though, prime purpose of brochure is sharing information, attractive visual effects are also necessary to make your brochure readable and self explanatory. If your brochure is not attractive, your brochure would not be read properly. Brochure cannot be a novel kind literature. It should not be dull and boring. Even if your offerings or information that you want to share are very technical, you should invest enough time and money in developing required images and design, to make attractive visuals for your brochure.

Content lay-out

Content lay-out also plays crucial role in making a brochure readable. Properly designed and structured content lay-out increases readability. You can have certain patterns in your content layout to help your reader in understanding your offering easily and quickly. Use enough headings and subheadings. You should list-down all the key information that you want to include in your brochure and share the same with designer. In some brochure designs, we observed background images make content very difficult to read and distract readers. Always prefer to have simple and decent background; else use font color according to your background.

Brochure is one of the most expensive print marketing materials and can help you in deal closing and to bring leads in future. Stunning visuals, appropriate content structure and premium printing can help you in making your Brochure simple and elegant.
