Writing Style
Most readers do little more than browse the text of a brochure. Keep sentences short to increase clarity and avoid confusion. Include key words like: new, results, guarantee, free, proven, sale, etc.
Headings
The best way to draw the reader's eye is through the use of a heading. This can be done by making the print bolder, using different colors and a larger font.
Grammar and Spellings
The content should be error free. This is a point of weakness for novice brochure designers. It is necessary that the content be double checked for errors related to grammar and spelling.
Color Combination
The colors should compliment one another. Be wary of poor color combinations and using colors that do not fare well in advertisement. The foreground and the background should compliment each other.
Paper quality
The paper quality should represent the business quality and the target market. This issue should be discussed with the printing company prior to production of the brochures. The charm of the brochure is lost if the paper quality is poor.
