A day packed with tips for producing printed materials with impact!
Producing effective promotional literature
A one day Library Association workshop on 7 February, in London
Producing publicity materials for an organisation - whether it's a
newsletter or pamphlets, posters etc - has a key part to play in raising the
profile of the organisation, advertising the range of services it offers and
reaching new audiences.
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
It will give participants invaluable tips and techniques for producing
promotional materials to 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.
Special notes
Participants are encouraged to bring current and past copies of their
printed materials with them.
