Your ultimate goal is to convince them to respond to your call to action. And the first step to achieve that is when people understand what you are saying loud and clear.
  5. Proofread your materials before you have these processed by the right printing company. The least thing that you want to happen on this occasion when you are trying to scare people is to be laughed at because of petty typo mistakes and the likes.
