PRODUCING EFFECTIVE PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE

7 March, London

                       

Promotional materials such as newsletters, pamphlets, posters, and promotional letters have a key part to play in raising the profile of the organisation. They are vital tools for promoting existing and new services, and for encouraging new users to try your range of services, and can be produced in-house on a small budget.

 

But how many of us are confident that we are getting the most from the time invested in producing promotional material? Does it really work? How can the chances of printed promotional literature being read be dramatically increased?

 

BENEFITS FROM ATTENDING

This workshop will give participants invaluable tips and techniques for producing promotional materials that will help them spread the word about their services.

 

BY THE END OF THE EVENT PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:

·            considered the habits of their readership and what is likely to appeal to them

·            explored ideas for producing an effective publicity campaign

·            received tips on visual impact of literature

·            considered different styles for brochures and how to improve response

·           looked at how to use illustrations and headlines effectively
