In today’s fast-paced business environment, customers turn to your website as their primary resource for a brand impression. The presentation materials used in meetings, however, sent as direct mail or handed out at conferences and shows also play an important role in your sales cycle.
Print Media Now Plays a Very Different Role in Sales & Marketing
AKD Design Group recognizes the trend toward shorter, “to the point” print media that guides prospects toward becoming customers. A brand impression is formed based on customers’ interpretation of your presentation media. Nearly 80 percent of the time, a customer’s next step will be a visit to YOUR website, which must reinforce that positive brand impression.
With the popularity of web and electronic media, the purpose of presentation materials has shifted. These materials no longer serve as the primary method for learning about a company’s services and competitive benefits. Today presentation folders and brochures should simply stimulate your prospects to do one of two things:
- Visit your website
- Call your company
When brochures and folders become text-heavy and cumbersome, readers perceive the process of information gathering as tedious. More than likely such media will become fodder for the circular file cabinet.
After all, how many brochures do you really keep around? How many are on your desk, right now? Probably not many, if any at all. That is because they serve a different purpose in today’s marketplace: They are the lead-in. A lead in to something bigger and more informative, your web site! In most cases viewers will not read your brochure cover to cover, but web sites have a way of taking people through the more informative or most interesting aspects of your business or services offered, but the brochure gets the work and information out there. It is one of the most direct ways of marketing, and getting people from point A to point B! From a less informative material a BROCHURE to the more comprehensive a detailed tool YOUR web site. And with AKD Design Group we make it seamless and we brand your as a company and a marketing entity.
