Creating Your Own Effective Customized Brochures



Brochures are powerful promotional tool that can deliver an enormous boost to a marketing campaign. It represents the brand image of an organization, people, product and services.

Brochures are excellent in selling concept to customers – with effective good looking photos and graphics, which includes font use and writing style, hence it completely give an idea about your business profile and services. They guarantee to make an impression.

A brochure design must appear as striking as possible. It must have a clean and uncluttered structure and must not consist of a broad array of graphic elements just for the sake of giving it a different look. The main purpose of a brochure is to set up a visual incorporation for prospective clients, using images, colors, text and symbols.

The brochure’s headline makes a specific promise that relates to your prospects’ needs or interests. Using eye-catching graphic design, illustration, colorful, meaningful photos to make your front cover interesting.

If you need to get the reader’s attention at once, the text should sparkle and entertain, while telling the story and business approach in an inviting tone. Put a tag line highlighting benefits of your products.

People often read brochures because they are looking for specific information about a product or services. You must motivate your reader to look for more.

Most people scan brochures rather than read them word for word. They flip back and forth between the pages and dart their eyes this way and that throughout the text.

If you like printed brochures to persuade the reader to act, and you want the copy to be highly scan able, just keep the content focused, fact filled, simple, and make good use of photos, bullets, sidebars, captions, lists and other text highlights.

For this Holiday season, VICE, KRIS and AIAI Join Forces For Power Comedy Film “SISTERAKAS”

Three Queens unite for one unkabogable Christmas comedy treat! For the first time, the three controversial ‘queens’ of today–Phenomenal Box-Office Goddess Vice Ganda, Queen of All Media Kris Aquino, and Comedy Concert Queen AiAi delas Alas–will star in one power comedy film titled “Sisterakas,” Star Cinema and Viva Films’ official entry to the 2012 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). The newest comedy masterpiece of Direk Wenn Deramas “Sisterakas” will hit theaters nationwide beginning Christmas (December 25).
Unlike in real life where they are close friends, Vice, Kris and AiAi will play fierce rivals in “Sisterakas.” In the story, Vice portray the role of Bernice, a super successful ‘lord of the apparels industry’ who is determined to bring misery to two of his closest competition–her hardworking half-sister Detty (AiAi) whose family refused to help Bernice’s family when they were poor, and Roselle (Kris) the equally brilliant and talented yet eccentric business archnemesis.
In her quest to secure her throne as the queen of her industry, although it’s against her will, Bernice will be forced to hire Detty as his 75th assistant. But things get out of hand and the world gets crazier when Detty suddenly becomes an employee–of all people–Roselle!
With the rivalry getting tougher and more intense than ever and severely affecting each other’s intertwined lives, who among Bernice, Detty and Roselle will emerge victorious?
Meanwhile, after their sensational success in “Princess and I” and their first big screen team-up in “24/7 In Love” which is still showing on cinemas nationwide, two of the country’s hottest teen stars Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla are now also part of “Sisterakas.” In the film, Daniel will portray the role of Angelo, the godson of Bernice, while Kathryn will play as Kathy, the daughter of Detty and big sister of Cindy (Xyriel Manabat).
Don’t miss the grandest gift of Star Cinema and Viva Films that will surely make the whole family merrier this Christmas–”Sisterakas,” which will be shown on cinemas nationwide starting December 25.
