How to Make Your Printed Material Stand Out

All companies want to stand out from the rest in their industry. The printed material each business uses can have a big impact on this. There are a few ways that you can make your printing materials stand out from the rest. From choosing the right designs for your booklet printing to choosing the right printer to suit your needs, we've got a list of simple tips every business should know:

* Re-branding- Many companies can find that they have had a logo and company brochures for so long, that it has become outdated and needs a refresh. This doesn't have to be an arduous task but a great way to re-brand your logo and other printing materials to bring your company back to the front of the pack in your industry. Many companies specialise in helping businesses achieve this and of course professionals specialising in this process are the best people to consult before proceeding.

* Think outside the box-This of course is something obvious, but can be something that we don't always necessarily think about when preparing printing materials. If you are going to a trade show or conference where people will be collecting many different brochures and other printed materials from a number of companies you want to stand out. In order to do this, think of creative ways to present the information. Is there different types of textured materials you can use for printing? What other things can you incorporate in the design to make your materials memorable?

* Inspiring your staff- Your graphic designer and marketing department may be in need of some new direction or motivation so that feel that they have the freedom to make a change to the material they are currently producing. Sometimes companies simply stick to what is 'safe' and while this is OK, it won't make them stand out time after time. Engage your staff and let them know that you are looking for them to change their current templates into something that will bring the business forward to more clients.

* Choosing the right printing company- There are now so many great online printing companies offering exceptional service at a fraction of the cost. Whether you need business card printing or pamphlets or posters printed you may want to look online for a new company to source your printing needs to. A fresh pair of eyes and some great new ideas from a professional in printed materials may be just what you need.
From business cards to brochures, the printed materials your company gives out to clients can make a big difference to your bottom line. There are many different ways that you can improve your current materials to make your company stand out from the rest. I hope our list of tips above has given you some inspiration and useful ideas on just how you can change your company's printing materials from drab to fab!
