Viewing Tools
Publisher offers a group of viewing tools
to help you control the layout of your text,
images and objects on the page. These
viewing tools are for your editing purposes
only.
They can be turned on and off and
will not appear in your printed publication.
 To access and choose viewing tools, select the View tab and locate the Show group. Click

Figure 7: Viewing Tools

Publication viewing tools

The publication viewing tools include:
 Rulers
You can use the rulers to the left and top of
your publication to help you line up text,
images and other objects and get a clearer
idea of exactly where those objects will appear on the printed page. When you select an
object in your publication, a white space will
appear on the rulers to show the object's
location. Figure 8: The Rulers
 Baselines
Baselines are evenly-spaced horizontal lines that
you can use to line up text. You'll learn about
automatically aligning text to your baselines in
the Working with Text lesson.
Figure 9: The Baselines
 Boundaries
Boundaries are dark blue dashed borders that appear
around your objects. Viewing object boundaries can be
useful when you are aligning objects or wrapping text.

Figure 10: The Object Boundaries

 Guides
Guides are thin lines that help you align various
objects. There are two types of guides:
Margin guides, which are blue lines that mark the
edges, or margins, of the printable area on each page
of your publication. Margin guides are automatically
created when you set your page margins.

information, page size, layout, etc.
Some publication types do not allow for editing of some of the options.
In this case, they will be grayed out.
When all settings are chosen, click the Create button to create the
publication.
If the default setting fits the needs for a publication, just double click
on the type of publication.
Once the Publication is created, the main Publisher window will
be displayed. The menu bar and other toolbars have several the same
choices that are used in Office 2003 applications. This is a desktop publisher 2010, so an Object
toolbar has been added to the left side of the Publisher
window.
Backstage View
In Publisher 2010, options for saving, printing and
creating publications are all located in Backstage view. It
is similar to the Office Button Menu from Publisher 2007 or
the File Menu from earlier versions of Publisher. However,
unlike those menus, it is a full-page view, which makes it
easier to work with.
 To access Backstage view, click the File tab.

INFORMATION SHEET WEEK 3

Lesson 3: Common Task in Publisher

I. WORKING WITH TEXT

ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10

11 | P a g e

To create and design effective publications, you need to present

text in a readable and visually interesting way. For this reason,
Publisher offers a number of tools that let you customize and control
the layout and appearance of the text in your publication.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to add and arrange text boxes,
as well as how to format them and the text they contain.
As you enter text in Publisher, you'll need to adjust it to fit your
publication. While most of Publisher's text tools are the same as those
in other Office programs, a few are specifically designed to handle
Publisher's unique publication tasks.

Text Basics
In order to use MS Publisher, you must have the knowledge in using the Microsoft Word
application. If you find yourself having trouble working with text in Publisher, review your Word
course, especially the following lessons:
 Text Basics - Reviews basic topics like inserting, deleting, copying, and moving text
 Formatting Text - Includes text formatting tasks like changing font style, size, and color
 Checking Spelling and Grammar - Presents tools you can use to proofread your text
 Working with Lists - Guides you through creating and formatting lists
 Line and Paragraph Spacing - Explains how to adjust spacing

II. WORKING WITH TEXT BOXES
In Publisher, text is contained in text boxes, which are blocks of text that you can place on the page. When
you create or select a text box, the Text Box Tools tab will appear on the Ribbon. On this tab are commands
that let you adjust and format your text box and the text it contains.

The Ribbon
Insert a Text Box:
1. On the Ribbon, select the Insert tab and locate the Text group.
2. Click the Draw Text Box command.

3. The cursor will turn into a crosshairs . Click anywhere on your publication and drag your
mouse to create the text box
4. You can now start typing inside the text box.
III. WRAPPING TEXT
If you place a text box near an image or another object, you may notice that the text is
overlapping with the object or doesn't appear exactly where you want it, to fix this problem you'll
need to change the object's text wrapping settings.
IV. WRAPPING TEXT AROUND THE OBJECT
1. Select the object, then click the Format tab that appears on the Ribbon.
2. Locate the Arrange group and click the Wrap Text drop-down command.
3. Select the desired wrap option. The text will adjust based on the option you have selected
4. If necessary, reposition the object and adjust the image until the text wraps correctly.

ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10

12 | P a g e

 If you can’t get your text to wrap the way you wish, click the Wrap Text command and
select More Layout Options from the menu. You can make more precise changes in the
Advanced Layout dialog box that appears.
V. CONNECTING TEXT BOXES
As you work with text boxes, you might find that a text box
isn't large enough to contain all of the text you want to include.
When you run out of room for text, you can use the Link command
to connect text boxes. Once two or more text boxes are
connected, text will flow or continue from one text box to the next.
Connect to a New Text Box
1. Select your text box.
2. Click the Text Box Tools Format tab and locate the Linking
group.
3. Click the Create Link command.
4. The Link icon will appear in place of your cursor. Click the spot on your publication where you
would like to add the linked text box.
5. Continue typing your text. Any text that overflows from the original text box will now appear in
the connected box.
VI. MODIFYING TEXT BOXES
The Text Fit options allow you to format text boxes that automatically adjust font or text box size
to get a good fit. There are four text fit options that you can apply to any text box:
 Best Fit, which makes the text larger or smaller to fit the text box.
 Shrink Text on Overflow, which automatically shrinks the font size when the text box has
no room for additional text.
 Grow Text Box to Fit, which automatically enlarges your text box based on text size and
length.
 Do not Autofit, which makes no automatic changes to your text or text box size. This is the
default option.
 For instance, if your text box is too small for your text, you may apply Shrink Text on
Overflow or Grow Text Box to Fit.
On the other hand, if you have a certain amount of space for your text box and want your text
to fill the entire area, you may select Best Fit.
 To modify text fit, select the text box, then click the Text Fit drop-down command in the
Text group of the Text Box Tools tab. Select the desired option.

INFORMATION SHEET WEEK 4

VII. FORMATTING TEXT
Publisher includes various typography commands designed to help you embellish your
text. Although Publisher's developers have touted this as a significant feature, it is important to
note that many of these effects only work with a small number of fonts, such as Calibri,
Cambria, and Gabriola. Still, if you are using these fonts, the typography commands can enhance
the appearance of your text.
Typography commands can be found in the Text
Box Tools tab. To apply any command, simply select
your text, then click the desired command. Certain
commands, like Stylistic Sets, will include a drop-down
list of choices.
Typography commands
There are six Publisher typography commands:
 Drop Cap, which enlarges the first letter of the
selected text
 Number Style lets you
choose between four
different styles for number
spacing and alignment.
 Ligatures -connect certain
combinations of letters to
make them easier to read.

ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10

 14 | P a g e

 Stylistic Sets- lets you choose between various embellishments for your fonts, usually in the
form of exaggerated serifs or flourishes.

Various stylistic sets

 Swash- embellishes capital letters
 Stylistic Alternates- offer alternate versions of specific
letters such as g.

 VIII. WORKING SHAPES AND OBJECTS

In Publisher, the components of any publication are called objects.

You have already worked with text boxes, which is one type of object.
Publisher offers decorative objects as well, including shapes and
Building Blocks. Using these objects is an easy way to add graphic
design elements to your publication.
 In this lesson, you'll learn how to create and modify
shapes and Building Blocks. You'll also learn how to
align, group and arrange objects of all types.
To Insert a Shape:
1. Select the Insert tab and locate the Illustrations group
2. Click the Shapes drop-down command
Arranging Objects

Publisher offers a number of tools to help you arrange and order your objects. These tools work
for any object, and can help you lay out your pages quickly and precisely.

Aligning
You can click and drag objects to align them manually, but this
can be difficult and time-consuming. Publisher includes several
commands that allow you to align your objects quickly and
precisely. Objects can be aligned to each other or to the page.
To Align Two or More Objects:
1. Click and drag your mouse to form a selection box
around the objects you want to align. All of the objects will
now have sizing handles to show that they are selected.
2. Click the Format tab and locate the Arrange group.
3. Click the Align drop-down command.
4. Select one of the six alignment options.
5. The objects will align to each other based on the option that you have selected.
To Align Objects to the Page:
1. Select the object or objects you want to align.
2. Click the Format tab and locate the Arrange group.
3. Click the Align drop-down command.
4. Select one of the six alignment options.
NOTE: The objects will align to the page based on the option that you
have selected

ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10

15 | P a g e

Grouping
At times you may want to group multiple objects
into one object so that they will stay together if they are
moved. This can be easier than selecting all of the objects
every time you want to move them.
To Group Objects:

1. Select the objects you wish to group.

2. Click the Format tab and locate the Arrange group.
3. Click the Group command.
4. The selected objects will now be grouped. There will be a single box with sizing handles
around the entire group to show that they are one object.
Moving Objects Backwards and Forwards
In addition to aligning and grouping objects, Publisher gives you the ability to arrange
objects in a specific order. The ordering is very important when two or more objects overlap, as
it will determine which objects are in the front or the back.
To Change the Ordering by One Level:
1. Select the object you wish to move.
2. Click the Format tab and locate the Arrange group.
3. Click the Bring Forward or Send Backward command to change the object's ordering by
one level. If the object overlaps with more than one other object, you may need to click the
command several times to achieve the desired ordering.
To Bring an Object to the Front or Back:
If you want to move an object behind or in front of several objects, it is usually faster to bring it
to front or send it to back rather than clicking the ordering commands multiple times.
1. Select the object you wish to move.
2. Click the Format tab and locate the Arrange group.
3. Click the Bring Forward or Send Backward drop-down command
IX. WORKING WITH PICTURES
Pictures are great way to add visual interest to your publication. Depending on the type of
publication you're creating, adding pictures can even be essential. For instance, you wouldn't
create a brochure for a product without including at least one picture of it. The picture tools make
it easy to incorporate images into your documents and modify those images in interesting ways.
In this lesson, you'll learn how to insert, fit, and format pictures, including Clip Art. You'll
also learn about preparing your pictures for publication and using
other Office programs to make advanced edits to your pictures.
To Insert a Picture from a File:
1. Select the Insert tab and locate the Illustrations group.
2. Click the Picture command.
The Insert Picture dialog box will appear. Locate and select the
picture you would like to insert, then, click Insert.
To Insert Clip Art:
1. Select the Insert tab and locate the Illustrations group.
2. Click the Clip Art command.
3. The Clip Art pane will appear on the right. Use the search
tools to search for a suitable image.
o Enter keywords in the Search for: fields that are related to the
image you wish to find.
o Click the drop-down arrow in the Results should be: field, then,
deselect any types of media you do not wish to see.
4. Click Go to begin your search.
5. Publisher will display pictures that meet your search terms.
When you have found a picture you wish to use, click it.
ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10

INFORMATION SHEET WEEK 5&6

Lesson 4: CREATING A NEW PUBLICATION

Introduction
In the previous lesson, you learned about planning and designing a
publication. With that knowledge, you're now ready to create a new
publication.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a new publication using

either a template or a blank page. You'll also learn how to customize
your publication by modifying page layout, applying a new template
and adding, deleting and rearranging pages.

Publisher offers dozens of templates for almost any type of publication

you want to create, including brochures, newsletters, greeting cards and more. Of course, if
you can't find a template that you like, you can always modify one to suit your needs, or even
create a publication from a blank page. Understanding Publisher's templates and layout tools will
help you create publications that look the way you want.

To Create a New Publication from a Template

1. Click the File tab to go to Backstage view, then select New. The Available Templates
pane will appear.
2. Select the type of publication you wish to create.
3. A selection of templates will appear in the Available Templates pane. Choose from one of
two categories:
Office.com templates,
which include templates
created by other users.
User-created templates are
indicated with a User icon.
Although Microsoft does
review these templates, you
should use caution when
downloading them, as they
are not guaranteed to be free
from viruses and other problems.

Depending on the type of publication you create, your template
may offer more customization options than shown in the
example above.
Creating Blank Publications
If you do not want to use a template or you cannot find a
template that suits your needs, you can also create a blank
publication. Remember, when you create a blank publication, you
will have to set up page margins, add guides and make all layout
and design decisions on your own.
 To create a blank publication, click the New tab in
Backstage View and select a blank page size in the
Available Templates pane.
Customizing Your Publication Layout
Whether you choose to create a publication from a
template or from a blank page, you may decide to change the
publication layout. Three components that you can change are
margins, size and orientation. Although you can modify these
settings at any time, you should be careful if your publication
already contains objects like text, images and shapes, as you'll have to adjust them to fit the new
layout.

How to Create a Greeting Card in Microsoft Publisher

by Jacci Howard Bear-Updated on January 08, 2020

Creating a simple greeting card in Microsoft Publisher is easy to do, especially if you use one of the
included templates as a starting point. Customize the design to reflect your preferences and the personality
of the person you're giving the card to. https://www.lifewire.com/micrsoft-publisher-2010-4086381
ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10
21 | P a g e

Choose a Greeting Card Template

The quickest way to create a greeting card is to start with one of the built-in greeting card templates in
Publisher.
1. Go to the File menu and choose New to see the template categories.
2. Select Greeting Cards. To find something specific, enter your query in the Search box.
3. The Greeting Cards category contains subcategories such as Birthday, Holidays, Thank You, and
blank cards. Choose a template or select a folder to view all templates in that category.
4. Select the Color scheme drop-down arrow and choose a color combination. The preview image shows
the change in template elements. Some graphics retain their original colors while decorative elements,
shapes, and text change to match the selected color scheme.
NOTE: When you select a color scheme, that color scheme is applied to every template (even after closing
and restarting Publisher). To display the original colors, select the Color scheme drop-down arrow and
choose default template colors.
5. Select the Font scheme drop-down arrow to change the look of the text. Select the Page size drop-
down arrow to change the card size and orientation. Select the Layout drop-down arrow to change the look
and position of graphics and images.
NOTE: There isn't a default layout. When a new layout is selected, the templates stay in that layout. To
return to the default view, close and restart Publisher.
6. Select Create to open the template in Publisher.

Create Your Card

After you select a template (with or without modifications) and create the basic card, the first page of the
card opens in the main viewing area. To view other pages, select the page thumbnail in the Pages
navigation pane.
Now it's time to customize the card. Edit the text so that the card says exactly what you want, add or
replace images, and make other changes to add your own touch of creativity.
To make changes to the card:
1. To replace the text, select a text box and enter the new text.
2. To make font and color changes to selected text, go to the Home tab and select a different font, font
size, font color, or style.
3. To change the look of selected shapes, go to Drawing Tools Format to add a fill color, outline, or effect to
a shape.
4. To change the look of a selected text box, go to Text Box Tools Format to apply a WordArt style, emboss
the text, change the font, or change the color.
5. To change the global colors or fonts, go to Page Design and change the template, orientation, or color
scheme.
NOTE: Color and font changes within the Page Design tab affect the entire document. You can use preset
schemes or create your own.

https://www.lifewire.com/parts-of-a-greeting-card-1077348
by Jacci Howard Bear
Updated on July 12, 2020
A greeting card is generally a simple document—a piece of folded paper with text or images on the front
and a message inside. Although there are variations, most greeting cards follow a typical layout. With a top
or side fold, there's a front, an inside spread (usually only half), and a
back.

Front
The cover or front of the card may be a photo, text only, or a
combination of text and images. The front of the card is what initially
grabs attention and sets the tone (funny, serious, romantic, playful)
for the card.

Inside Message
Some greeting cards are blank inside, and you write a personal
message. Others might proclaim "Happy Birthday" or "Season's
Greetings!" There could be a poem, quotation, or the punchline of a
joke that began on the front. The inside of the card might repeat
ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10
22 | P a g e

graphics from the front or have other images. The inside message typically appears on the right-hand side
of the open side-fold card with the left side blank. On a top-fold card, the interior content generally is on the
bottom panel.
 Additional Inside Panels. Rather than the standard folded card with a front cover and message
inside, some greeting cards incorporate multiple panels folded like a tri-fold brochure. They might
have accordion folds or gatefolds to accommodate more text and images.
 Additional Inside Pages. Some greeting cards can be like small booklets to present an extended
message or tell a story. Some greeting cards are made with computer software and printed
on letter-size paper folded to create a quarter-fold card so that all printing is on one side of the
unfolded sheet of paper.
Back
On commercially-produced greeting cards, the back of the
card is where you'll find the name of the greeting card
company, logo, copyright notice, and contact information.
When making your own greeting cards, you might want to
include your name and date or a personal stamp or logo. It
could also be left blank.
Optional Parts
 Flaps/Windows. Greeting cards of any size may
have die-cut windows with or without flaps that
conceal/reveal portions of the inside of the card.
 Pop-Ups/Tabs. Some greeting cards might have
pop-up elements or tabs that the recipient pulls to
reveal a message or cause parts of the card to
move.
 Embellishments. Greeting cards created by hand or on the computer might have ribbon, charms,
glitter, or other items that aren't part of the paper card.
 Sound. Some cards incorporate sound using a built-in mechanism that plays music or speaks when
the recipient opens the card.
 RUBRICS:

INFORMATION SHEET WEEK 7&8

Lesson 4: CREATING A BROCHURE

A brochure is a great piece of marketing material that provides potential customers with something
tangible in a digital world. A glossy, four-color brochure with beautiful photos and persuasive writing can be
just the thing to make your products fly off the shelves. A brochure can do multiple things: introduce your
company to potential prospects, explain products in more detail or offer a sampling of numerous products
to entice a customer. By creating a brochure with concise and engaging content from copy to pictures, you
can boost sales and engage customers.
Don't ignore the basics when creating a brochure; it should include standard information, such as
company name, at least two types of contact information, a logo and tagline. It should also include a
headline on the front and two or three brief items outlining benefits your organization can provide.

Brochure design: 10 top creative tips

1. Know your purpose before you start. The Glynebourne 2019 brochure has clear purpose with
its vibrant imagery of the company's dramaturgy (Image credit: Toop Studio)
2. Limit your fonts
3. Take stock of your paper stock
4. Get your copy right
5. Put readers first
6. Use simple statements
7. Set pen to paper
8. Keep what works

PART I:1-Get specific. A brochure is a valuable, tangible piece of marketing material that is ultimately
used to sell. Unlike a website, you have a limited amount of space on which to provide information. When
writing a brochure be specific with what you are selling. [1]Don’t try to cover too many topics in one
brochure. While a brochure can be used to highlight your overall offerings, it's often good to have multiple
brochures. You should have a brochure for each individual product or service.
For example, if you’re a company that builds beautiful custom rooms in people’s homes, like kitchens,
bathrooms, living rooms, you may have more success in your brochure if you only cover one room.
Instead of offering a lot of broad information, you want your brochure to focus on one topic. Perhaps you
write one brochure on only kitchens. Get specific to one room so you can explain every detail from the type
of tile you offer to the colors of the cabinet handles.
2-Put yourself in your readers’ shoes. Pretend you’ve come across your own brochure. When looking at
the front ask yourself what kind of information you would want to find inside. Write down and answer any
questions you may have. You can use these in your brochure.
Identify your target audience. You want to think about where people will pick up this brochure. Who these
people are. Are you writing your brochure to an individual consumer who is looking for a product or
service? Or are you writing your brochure for a team of investors and board members?
Your voice and tone and even the information you provide will be different based on who is going to be
reading your brochure.
3-Stress the benefits of your product. Instead of just providing an overview of the basic features, you
want to focus on a specific topic that lets you get detailed. Features describe the product or service;
benefits describe how the features will help the reader.
Consider including an FAQ section of common questions that you’ve gotten before and provide answers.
Your brochure is a product someone will take away. Therefore, you need to provide enough relevant
information quickly and effectively. Your brochure will serve as a salesperson of sorts.
ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10
25 | P a g e

4-Exclude any information that’s not relevant. You won’t be able to fit everything you might want to say
into one brochure. Since you have limited space, it’s important to remember that not all your information is
relevant. Leave out information that doesn’t directly impact the main product or service.
Leaving out information doesn’t necessarily mean leaving out core marketing materials. You should still
include your company’s logo or image, a blurb about the company, and a section on where to find more
information and who to contact.
For example, if you are writing a brochure on designing custom kitchens, you don’t need information on
what you can do in other rooms. You may simply want to include in your about section the other rooms you
offer. Don’t waste space going into detail on those rooms in this brochure.
PART 2
1-Choose a layout. Brochures come in many
styles and layouts. The most common is the tri-fold
brochure. However, you should free to choose a
different layout depending on the information you
are providing.
Now that you have a topic narrowed down, you
can begin writing copy. Pay attention to how many
sections you need. Create an outline to help you
discover how much room you'll need.
In a typical tri-fold brochure, a piece of landscape
paper is divided into 6 sections. Sections 2, 3,
and 4 are your inside sections and usually
contain the most valuable information. Section
2 is the inside flap and usually contains broad
information with questions and answers. This information compels the reader to believe that the product will
be the answer to any problems the reader has. Sections 3, and 4 typically expand and go deeper. These
sections explain the information, affirming the reader that a solution is contained within your brochure. [2]
Section 1 is the front cover. This area entices readers to pick up your brochure. It often depicts an image
that conjures up positive feelings. The aim of your front flap is to make the reader open your brochure.
There should also be a line or two of copy that promises the reader a benefit.
Section 5 is the back flap and usually contains testimonials and coupons.
Section 6, which is the middle back third, usually contains contact information like a phone number,
website, and map.
There are plenty of folding types and layouts when it comes to brochures. [3] Some brochures are more
like books or pamphlets. Some include inserts or cutouts. Don’t feel like your brochure has to be a typical
tri-fold. The organization of information is essentially the same whatever your layout. The front is used to
depict a lifestyle that can be achieved by the product or service within the brochure. The next pages contain
answers and offers. And the last sections provide incentives to move forward and contact information.
2-Capitalize your real estate. Whatever style or layout you choose, you need to make the most of the
physical space. This means finding a balance between words and images.
While your copy provides readers with valuable information, you don’t want to fill entire pages or sections
with blocks of text. No one will read your brochures if you write too much. This is where pictures and graphs
help you.
Don’t make your text size smaller to
accommodate more words. If you can’t fit
what you want to say on a page or section,
you’re saying too much.
Pictures and graphs are a great visual way
to provide valuable information. You can
also include little blurbs of text that explain
a photo or graph.

ELAINE BAUTISTA Quarter2Week1-8_TLE-10

26 | P a g e

3-Use the front cover or panel to entice readers. Your front cover is what will get people to pick up your
brochure. An eye-catching photo or graphic is more effective than a bunch of text.
Use a photo that showcases the product or service you are selling.
Depict people enjoying your products or services. Along with a great photo, be sure to include text that
speaks directly to the reader. Ask a question or state a benefit that someone picking up your brochure will
want.
A tagline and a line or two of text on your cover give readers enough information to pick up your brochure.
It also creates just enough mystery to entice readers to flip to the next page or section.
4-Break up information by sections. On the inner panels, use headings to break up long blocks of text. Brochures
have limited space and you don’t want to use up all the space with long blocks of text.
Too much text looks intimidating to the reader. Instead of long paragraphs or sections, keep sections and sentences
short. Bulleted or numbered lists further separate the text and make information easy to digest. These elements will
also bring the readers’ eyes into the brochure. [4]Use bold headers to separate sections and break up your brochure.
Provide different types of content and information for different sections. If you talk about appliances in one section
of your custom built kitchen brochure, use another panel or section to showcase another aspect of your offerings
like lighting or cabinets. Breaking up your brochure into sections allows readers to compartmentalize information.
Sections help the flow of information and keep readers interested without getting overwhelmed.
PART 3
1-Speak directly to your readers. Address the reader as “you” to establish a relationship with the reader. Making
your copy personal creates a relationship between you and your customer. [5]Talking directly to the reader as an
intelligent person will help to keep your potential customers interested. Your brochure should begin and end with
your customer. Before you get into the meat of your brochure explaining all the great things you offer, you should
entice your customer by answering questions and overcoming potential objections.
Focus your content on providing information which sells your features through benefits. Cite real-world examples or
case studies. Aim to answer the question of how your customer will benefit from your product or service.
2-Keep your brochure content focused. Your goal is to keep earning your reader’s focus and attention. Cater your
content to the type of reader you are hoping to attract with your brochure.
If you’re writing a brochure to generate leads include info that prospects don’t know about your company. Give a
brief blurb on the history of your company and why you are different and better than the competition.
However, if your brochure is a sales closer your customers already know your company’s history. Don’t bore readers
with information that gives a potential customer a reason to stop continuing on to the next section.
Keep the content relevant to your brochure’s purpose. But also brief enough to not run out your reader's interest.
[6] Your content should highlight the benefits of what you are offering, not just features. Instead of only providing
content that shows your product, include a lifestyle atmosphere. Show how your product will benefit your
customer’s life. You can do this with pictures and copy that show people enjoying your product. Explain why current
customers are satisfied. Leave boring specifics out. In your brochure, your readers don’t need to know right away
every small detail of how you build a custom kitchen. Your readers will benefit more from how your premiere
craftsmanship and design expertise creates reliable products and the right atmosphere.
3-Use testimonials. Get quotes from satisfied customers to include in the brochure. Be sure to include the
customer’s full name, as well as any other relevant information that helps to make the testimonial seem legitimate.
Testimonials are a great way to further provide potential customers with a reason to keep reading. They also back up
the lifestyle and solutions you are promising throughout your brochure.
4-End the brochure with a call to action. Direct your reader to the next step.
This could be done by asking your reader to visit your showroom or call your office to schedule an appointment.
Try to create an emotional call to action. Once again, consider using words and pictures to elicit an emotion. People
are more likely to act if you can create empathy. If your brochure is selling custom kitchens, use a picture that shows
a happy family sharing a delicious meal in a beautiful kitchen. Then, in your call to action, invite readers to contact
you to get a kitchen that will make every night as perfect as the one in your photo.

5 Important Things to Include on Your Brochure

Designing Your Business Communication
A brochure can help your company attract new customers or draw attention to an
upcoming event your business is organizing. Your brochure is only as good as the
content inside of it. People won’t feel compelled to work with your business or seek
you out if you don’t give them reason to. Remember these five things to include on
your brochure:
Compelling Image
Your brochure needs something to grab a potential customer’s attention, and an
image is often what does the trick. Choose pictures that give a person a clear idea
of what you’re offering and that also entice them to buy what you’re selling. Pick a
photo or image that’s clear and good quality.
The Purpose of the Brochure
A brochure shouldn’t present a person with a mystery. They should be able to
figure out what its purpose is, and what your company’s purpose is, right away.
Decide what you want from the brochure before you start designing it. For
example, are you letting people know about an upcoming event or are you trying to
convince people to switch a service provider they use and pick your business
instead? Highlight what makes your business stand out from the rest.
Contact Information
Include every possible way to contact your business on the
brochure. For example, list your company’s phone number,
email address, and street address. Don’t forget to include your
business’ social media profile information, such as your Twitter
handle or Facebook page, too. You want to make it as easy as
possible for a potential customer to reach out to you.
Time and Date Let people know when the specific event is or
when your business is open. If you’re strictly online, note that,
so that people feel comfortable visiting your website at all
hours. Include the year on the brochure, too, if you’re creating
one for an upcoming event. You don’t want a person finding
your brochure a year later and getting confused.
Call to Action
Strategic 3 Panel Brochures by PaperDirect
Put a call to action somewhere in the brochure so that people
feel compelled to do something. Examples of a call to action
include, “call us today” or “send in the coupon below for a free
consultation.” Make the call clear and convey to the reader what will happen if they act.
When designing your brochure, make it as readable as possible, using
easy-to-see fonts and big print sizes. Put the most important
information, such as date and time of the event, right on the front of
the brochure. When in doubt, keep the content short, sweet and to
the point.
