Tips for Attention-Grabbing Flyer and Brochure Images

Keep It Simple

There is no need to completely fill your next flyer or brochure with images and text.

Keep things clean and simple so that the most important things stand out.

Stay Relevant

Stick to the main message.

If you are going for one specific theme, stay with it. Do not try to do too much on one flyer or brochure. Relevance with your theme will ensure your message is not lost in translation.

Capture the Mood

Do you want your target audience to feel inspired, amused, or inspired? Choose an image or two that will evoke an emotional response.

Images that include people are great for creating an emotional connection with your audience. Eye contact through portraits connects people to your marketing image, creating a bond that will grow brand recognition and retention.

Balance

Ensure a balance between the images, spacing, white space (also called negative space), and the focal points.

Have you heard of the Rule of Thirds?

The Rule of Thirds is a composition guideline that suggests the ideal placement of an image so that you do not overcrowd your page, which is to have the photo or focal point take up only one-third of the overall page.

Pictures are powerful tools to utilize in your print marketing. Nothing quite captures the human eye or evokes emotions like an image. Choosing your pictures intentionally can make or break your next ad campaign.

Is Your Trade Show Booth Doing Its Job or Just Taking Up Space?

  You’ve probably seen it or maybe lived it. You spend weeks prepping for a trade show. The team’s locked in. The products are polished. The sales strategy is tight. Then you show up and realize... your booth looks just like everyone else’s. You’ve got a table. A banner. Some printed handouts. Nothing’s wrong with it, but nothing’s making people stop either. Meanwhile, a competitor two aisles down is packed with attendees, taking selfies in front of their backdrop, posting photos, and drawing traffic. Here’s the hard truth: most booths fail before the show even begins. Not because the brand isn’t great. But because the display wasn’t built to do its job: turn heads, pull people in, and start the conversation. Let’s fix that. Most Booths Use Banners and Table Covers. The Smart Ones Use Them Strategically. Banners and table covers are the backbone of a trade show setup, and there's nothing wrong with using them. In fact, when they’re done well, they’re some of the most effect...
