Step-by-Step Guide for Writing Sales Brochure Copy
by ilovegraphics

Sometimes it's hard to know where to start when you are writing your brochure. Following these steps, though, will help you to write a brochure that will grab people's attention and showcase your business in the best way.

List the Features of Your Products and Services
Before you actually write any copy for your sales brochure, you need to think about what you have to offer. Write down the great features of your products and services. 

List the Benefits People Get from Your Products
Once you have a list of features, go back and describe the benefit customers get from these features. The benefit is really what customers are after. Do you own a salon? Then one of the features you offer might be the newest styling techniques, and the benefit that goes with that offer is that your clients have stylish, up-to-date hair dos. 

Write an Attention-getting Headline
The headline on the front cover of your brochure is the most important thing you will write for this brochure printing project. To write a great one, you need to put it in terms that tell people how they will benefit from using your company. To do this, look at your list of benefits and take something from the most outstanding one to create your headline.

Write Sub-headings that Support Your Headline
The sub-headings help to organize the body of your brochure printing design, making it easier to read. When people flip open your brochure, the subheadings should jump out at the reader and make them want to read more. To do this, write subheadings that tell people you have something that will make their lives better. The subheadings also need to go with your main heading; if someone were to only read your headings and sub-headings, they should be able to learn something about your business.

Write the Body of Your Brochure
In the opening paragraph, you need to explain to people exactly how you can improve their lives. Spell it out loud and clear in simple language or most people won't read further. The rest of your brochure should describe several features and benefits that you offer. Don't include everything; just highlight the best ones.
 
Write the Back Page
The back of your brochure is the second most important thing you write because it has your contact information. If you forget this information, your brochure printing project will be wasted. Include all of the ways people can find you: address, phone numbers, web address, and anything else you can think of. You could also draw a map from a major street or highway. Other things to include on the back might be a client list -- if it's prestigious -- or a list of other services or products you didn't cover in the body.

A successful brochure takes time to write and put together, so make sure to allot enough time before your deadline to design, print, and mail your brochure. Allowing enough time insures that you complete the above steps thoroughly and therefore avoid a hasty design.
