			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is your company&#8217;s brochure too general? Many look sharp and offer broad info, but lack a clear purpose. You may be able to make yours work harder by applying some of these techniques used by veteran b-to-b marketer Stuart Ayling. </p>
<p><span class="text2"><strong>What&#8217;s the objective?</strong></span><br />
The best way to get hard results from a brochure is to start with a clear objective. <br />
For instance, is your brochure to introduce a new service? Is it to provide technical data? Is it to generate leads via fax-back form? Focus on the action you want readers to take. The content and design need to support your primary objective. </p>
<p><span class="text2"><strong>Define your audience</strong></span><br />
Great brochures also have a specific audience in mind. Picture who you&#8217;re creating it for and identify what that person needs to know. To make your brochure stand out with this audience, determine what else they&#8217;re reading. Review rivals&#8217; brochures for style and content. </p>
<p><span class="text2"><strong>Make it easy to respond</strong></span><br />
Why make it hard for prospects to respond? Provide phone numbers in a prominent spot and increase the size of that text. If you&#8217;re going to list your web site on the brochure, use a redirect or add a tracking code to the URL so you can measure how well the brochure is actually driving prospects to your site. </p>
<p><strong>The key:</strong> Don&#8217;t publish the unique URL on any other materials. Otherwise you won&#8217;t be able to track where the traffic&#8217;s coming from.</p>
