Who’s going to write it?

Who’s going to design it?
You may cook a wicked lasagne, but could you cater for five hundred? If you’ve tinkered with a design package, you may consider designing your brochure yourself. Do so at your peril. You may end up with a lame brochure that does more harm than you think. Leave it to the pros. We’d love to help. And it’s best to get a designer involved early in the project.

What are your competitors doing?
Gather together your main competitors’ brochures. This may help decide what you need to cover. You need to look at least as good, if not better.

How much detail should you go into?
It’s tempting to include every little nugget of information. Great brochures are often uncluttered, with lots of white space. Keep the copy clean and relevant to your audience.

Who’s going to proof it?
Not anyone who’s been involved! People tend to read what they think they’ve written. Use a fresh pair of eyes and meticulously check every detail. It’s worth the effort.
