Once you decide on your focus you can concentrate on a good headline and the information you need so you do not lose people. You want to capture attention and entice them to continue reading. Use a catchy one line heading that will let people know what you are offering or at the least is intriguing enough for them to read on.
2. Make Your Point: Make a list of all of the points you must make and then see how it fits on your piece. You can then add more information if space allows. Most importantly you want to make a point and offer a call to action to call, visit a website or visit your business.

Every company should have a file with an up to date logo, a font they use for all of their communication pieces as well as a selection of colors they use for their logos. This will allow you to remain consistent with your brand using the color palette, slogans and logos whtat will help people start to recognize your company and understand what you area all about.
4. Spend Wisely: It is not always easy to find the budget for the quality you need to make a good impression. Try to avoid doing pieces that will have a negative effect on your business.
5. Balanced Layout: Make sure you have space to add some interest with a nice photo and logo so that it is not just straight copy.
