The effective implementation of a leaflet campaign can help increase both a companys sales and their relationship with their customers. However, it can be a difficult process planning and carrying out a successful leaflet campaign and the following five points should be looked at to make the process run as smoothly as possible.
Purpose. Prior to any actual work beginning, the reason behind the leaflet campaign should be completely clear to all those involved. Whether it is to entice new customers to the business or to reward previous customers, this part of the process should be clearly marked out to ensure that the entire team is working towards the same goal.
Finances. Whilst leaflets can be considered one of the more cost-effective forms of advertising, they still require a suitable and appropriate budget to ensure that the entire process runs smoothly and to everyones expectations.
Corners can be cut in all areas to reduce the amount of money required, but it will generally be noticeable and therefore the best methods that the budget allows should always be chosen.
Design. The most important aspect of a leaflet campaign is the actual design of the leaflet itself. Without an attractive and eye-catching design, a leaflet will more often than not be disregarded and placed straight into the recycling bin.
Although it can be tempting to create the design yourself, especially if money is limited, this is the one aspect of a leaflet campaign that should be given enough money so a professional can be hired.
Whilst many people create their own leaflet designs, they either have substantial design knowledge and can therefore create their own professional leaflet, or they have no knowledge and produce a leaflet that looks amateurish and has an overall negative effect on the company.
Printing. Choosing a suitable printing company for your leaflets can be difficult, as there are so many options to consider and such a large amount of companies wanting your business. The best option here is to take recommendations from trusted friends and colleagues of printing companies and then compare their quotes. You should make sure that any additional costs are clearly stated and also ask for a re-print cost, as some companies will offer a discount if they are used regularly for re-printing.
Distribution. The final part of leaflet design should refer directly the first point and reflect what is expected from the entire campaign. A quality leaflet can bring in a considerable amount of business, but if it is not distributed in the right areas, then it will be completely useless.
Depending on your final expectations of the campaign should depend on where the leaflet is distributed and this can vary considerably. For example, a baby clothes shop looking for new business may leave a selection of leaflets in nurseries around the local area. However, if they wanted to ensure new customers return to their shop after making their initial purchase, they may include a leaflet with every purchase for the customer to read at a later date.
