Here are some tips on how to make your on-demand printing materials bear fruit:

Make the headline scream

• Talk to your audience and make a headline that will grab their attention. Be personal and have a personal tone in your approach.


• •    Offering benefits and special promos will surely get your audience interested in what you are offering. Tease them a little and let them come to you to know what you are offering.


• Be honest. Never offer something that you know that you cannot give. When your audience find out that you pulled a fast one over them, they will be pissed and their trust will be hard to earn back.


• Have a conscious effort to be professional in your headline writing. Avoid puns, jokes and technical jargon as much as possible.


• Use the active voice. It engages the audiences more than the passive voice. Be very specific in your word choice and use strong verbs that suggest action.

Give your designs a second look

• If you doubt your ability as a designer then hire a pro. There is no point in saving that extra buck when you know that your prints are going nowhere with your design.


• Do not be shy. Ask for help. If you are new in what you are doing (i.e. the printing industry) you may want to ask the professionals namely your printing company for tips on what to do with your prints.


• Be original in what you do. Do not copy what’s already done. Be fresh and think out of the box.


• Be clean, readable and organized. The points and headings should guide your readers where they should read next. Your message should be loud and clear.

A call to action is needed

• Never forget to include a call to action in your prints. Your call to action must be prominent and straight to the point. People want to know what they need to do next so do so in a simple and effective manner.


• Make it easy for people to respond to your call to action. Include as many ways to contact you that you can think of. Include your website, phone number, toll free number, consumer hotline – the whole nine yards.


• Repeat the call to action if necessary.

Monitor your progress

Think of ways on how you can monitor how your campaigns do and check out how good the responses of your audiences are.

Compare your campaigns with other campaigns of competitors. You may have missed some details that you can use in future campaigns or you may want to borrow certain concepts and elements that you see. Either way, it will serve as an inspiration and learning material for your improvement.
