Introduce Yourself to Booklets

By Charen Smith

How much do you know about booklets?

I come across a lot of people who have never really put much thought to this kind of marketing, and I suppose it really shouldn't be that surprising.

It's kind of a catch-22 where not enough people use booklet printing because they don't know about them, and they don't know about them because not enough people use booklets.

Well, let's start discussing booklets.

A booklet is exactly as the name would suggest: they're a small book meant for detailing more in-depth information about something specific to your field. Sometimes they focus more on the industry itself and sometimes they focus more on an individual person. It just depends on who's getting the booklet printing done and what purpose they have with it.

Let's first go over the more personal booklets.

These ones help to show how experienced a person is in their particular field. They usually discuss different details about a person's past to introduce people to who they are, including how they got into their field, and they often go into a bit of detail about what the person knows about their industry.

The purpose is to help a person get to know who the business owner is, and by getting to know them, they're able to trust them.

The next type deals more with general information about an industry, and is often used between different company leaders. Let's say you want to sell your services to another company. You create a booklet talking about what you do and how both companies can benefit from a partnership.

Because the head of a company is going to be on the lookout for ways of improving sales, he'll be more willing to listen to what a booklet has to say, and sit down to read through the whole thing. You can't always be guaranteed that when dealing with the general public.

Another use for booklets is when you have an expensive item and you know people are going to need more details about it before making a purchase. While brochures can be put to good use here as well, sometimes you're going to need more room to talk, especially if you're dealing with something very big.

This will once again probably come in handy more when dealing with another company. If you're trying to sell your services to them the money involved will probably be a lot higher, and the company will certainly be more willing to step back and listen to all of the details.

They aren't as flashy as a lot of other types of marketing, but don't let that fool you into thinking that booklets don't serve a very distinctive purpose. Sometimes you just need to have room to speak, and a brochure doesn't contain enough space to give your full message. That's when you know you need to start taking advantage of booklets to get your next sale.
