School Brochures

School brochures are an important promotional tool because these give parents or incoming students a quick overview about the services and facilities that your school offers. Choosing a school is usually the dilemma of most students and parents; both deciding which school is best for everyone concerned. Persuade them to choose your school using the ultimate marketing weapon, brochures.

People really take time when deciding what school to choose because there are so many things to consider like budget and quality of education. With this in mind, your brochure should contain information that customers would want to know.

Your first encounter with potential clients is usually through brochures. Thus, your school brochures are critical in creating a good first impression. This is why you should make sure that they contain the right things in order to effectively sway them. Below are the four essentials that you should remember to have in brochure printing:

• Captivating and appropriate design. Remember that your brochures are a representation of your institution. Since the design sets the mood and tone of your brochure, it is necessary that it should fit the image and ideals of your school. It’s wise to start by identifying your target market. Knowing your target market’s attitude and likes will make it easier for you to create a design that would appeal to them. Colleges and universities usually opt for a simple, formal design. You can include images of your facilities and students. You can also take your school colors and make it the dominant color in your brochure. For preschools, you can be more playful with font styles and colors since you cater to children. Just make sure that the text will still be readable.

• Well-thought content. The content is as important as your design because this is the soul of your brochure. The information that you can include in your school brochure are: a list of the courses you offer, faculty members, school profile, vision and mission, facilities, and other relevant information. Take note to include the prices of your tuition fees and scholarship programs because most people are on the look-out for these details.

• Accurate information. The function of brochures is to persuade clients to choose your school over your competitors. But this doesn’t mean that you should put false information about your school in order to impress them. Should the word spread that you are misleading people, you end up with a ruined name and tarnished reputation.

• Properly mapped-out brochure marketing plan. A good design and content will only be put to waste if your brochures are not promoted well. Reach your potential customers by using the four different ways to market your brochures – leave behinds, point-of-sale, response to inquiries and direct mail. Leave behinds are brochures that are left behind or handed onto potential customers after meeting them. In point-of-sale, you place your brochures in areas where transactions are made like in cashier counters. Response to inquiry brochures are filled with answers to frequently asked questions about your school. Just like response to inquiries, direct mail brochures are sent to the customers. The only difference is that the direct mail brochures are included in letters when they're sent to customers; direct mail brochures serve as advertisements.
