Rev up your company’s marketing juice in
less than a day with marketing materials that reel in clients.
Bad economy got your
business down?
We’ll show you the marketing magic you need to boost
your client base, regardless of what the Fed is doing.
Create Brochures, Business Cards, Flyers, and Other Marketing Materials
That SIZZLE! Let Your Marketing Bring in Customers, Clients, Leads—and
SALES!
Even if you’re clueless about design, my
step-by-step system will help you create polished marketing material that
SELLS!
Let’s play a game. Look over the three images
below, and answer which image—the right side or the left side—looks
better. Ready?

If you answered “right” for each image…you’re
right! Those images on the right are more harmonious,
eye-catching, and designed so that the message really pops. They also
led to more customer responses, more prospects, more interest, and more
sales than the ones on the left.
They looked good. And they worked. The images on the right had eye appeal, the right
qualities to get customers and prospects interested.
They’re attractive, they
say something, and they ask people to stick around. In the end, that leads to buy
appeal—sales!
It’s Not Just the Product
Say you’re a
businessperson with a really fantastic widget.
This widget is the best on the block, in the city, possibly in the state.
Heck, it could be the best widget in the world!
But does that mean people
will buy it?
No.
Business-savvy people know that an excellent product
all on its own doesn’t
automatically mean the market will like it.
How do prospective clients treat your product
or service when your marketing materials don’t pop? They ignore
you. You’re anonymous, a face in the crowd. Your
product doesn’t sell because your marketing materials are working against you,
not for you.
Show Prospects What You’re Worth
Running your
own business takes a lot of work. You may be scrambling
behind the scenes to keep your accounts, services,
and relationships immaculate.
Unfortunately, all
that work is worthless if you can’t present your business
professionally.
If your marketing materials—your brochures, logo, business cards, flyers, etc.—look
like something your five year old made in art class, nobody will realize what kind
of quality you truly offer. You’ll paddle like mad beneath the surface, but
potential clients won’t recognize how wonderful your product
is unless you show them.
From the desk of: Karen Saunders
Date:
Dear Colleague,
Have you ever slaved away at a piece of marketing material, only to have
it disregarded and tossed away? Has that flyer advertising your amazing
blowout sale resulted in a mere trickle of potential customers? Have you
given yourself multiple headaches trying to design a brochure that actually
works?
I’ve been there. In the 20+ years I’ve been
in this business, I have seen all kinds of clients. One of those clients
was Louise, who ran a consulting business as a one-woman army. She took
care of everything—accounting,
ordering supplies, scheduling gigs, consulting,
and marketing—spreading
her attention thin to focus on many tasks at
once. She was frugal, motivated, and going bankrupt.
Louise, resourceful
as she was, rarely stayed in the black. She
figured it was a cost thing. But her costs
were already low—she didn’t use anyone else’s
services! Why was her business about to die?
Baffled,
she went to a trade show to try to drum up
business one last time. As she was exploring
the booths there, she ran into an old competitor whose client base was
very similar to the one Louise needed. The man looked professional, confident,
and surrounded by prospects. He confessed to Louise that business was
booming so much that he had to turn clients down!
Louise was intrigued.
What was her competitor’s magic? She found
it in his brochures. Though his services were
similar to Louise’s,
his marketing collateral was flawless. His
logo, which was memorable and eye-catching,
was clearly visible on all of his brochures, business cards, and flyer.
All three pieces were customized for the trade show. Everything came together
so professionally and attractively that Louise’s brochures
looked dull in comparison.
Aha! Thought Louise.
The magic is in the marketing. She promised
herself that she would create slick, beautiful,
compelling marketing pieces that made her prospects realize just how good
doing business with her would be.
Presentation is everything.
As Louise found out, the
way your collateral is designed can either
make you or break you. If your brochures and
business cards send out the message that you’re an amateur, it’s
time to fix them up.
Remember, your business cards and brochures
are the first thing most people see of you.
Do they make you look good? Like you can provide
excellent service? If not, it’s time for a
change.
Would you want to do business with your company?
To build
your client base, you must have a good reputation.
That means that people need to perceive you,
at the very least, as competent and professional. People need to trust
in your abilities. How do you get them to do that?
Simple. By giving them
reason to want to do business with you. By
making such a good first impression that people
want to know more about you. By giving them reason to visit your website,
pick up the phone and call you, to set up that
first project.
That’s where I can help you out. I
will provide you with the tools and resources to get people to want
to know more about you.
Is it possible to have the kinds of killer
marketing materials
that get people interested—
while staying within a budget?
YES!
How do I know? Because I’ve done it.
I
started out just like you. And
when I finally decided in 1990 to take the
plunge and go into business for myself, I knew I had to do something
to separate myself from the competition. With that goal in mind, I set
out publishing numerous articles, both over the internet and in print – getting
my name and designs in front of the public eye. In fact, I’ve
won 35 awards for my book cover designs, including one that earned the
2005 Writer’s Digest “Grand
Prize” for the best self-published book in America! My book won
the “Best of Show” and 1st Place in the “How To” category
of the 2007 Colorado Independent Publishers
Association EVVY Book Awards competition. It also won an 2006 APEX award,
which stands for “Award
for Publication Excellence.” Of the 5000+ entries they received,
why did they choose mine? Click here to
see my book covers for yourself.
Isn't it amazing what the right design can do for your image? Using the SAME design techniques and tricks you'll find in Turn Eye Appeal Into Buy Appeal,
you'll be able to quickly and easily create these
same makeovers in your own marketing materials…and reap the rewards
with more sales!

I was in the process of starting a home-based business and needed some tips for my business cards, letterhead and brochures. I really appreciate the information about spacing, letter relationship, and font size. Often small business owners forget the little things that make their branding packages attractive.

Don’t let customers get away
without knowing what they're missing!
I’ve had 25 years of experience designing print media, and I want
to let you in on my secrets.
I will reveal…
- Professional ways to appeal to your market
- How to save hard-earned money on professional design
- How to wisely manage your production time
- A quick and easy trick for turning a profit on
each project
I will show you these hard-won tricks, and more, in the book that shows
you how to
TURN EYE APPEAL INTO BUY APPEAL.
Who should buy this book?
Have you spent hours laboring
over a brochure design, only to have it end up
with all the visual appeal of a bottle of generic aspirin? Have you seen
people glance at your brochure, then move on, unimpressed? Have you seen
a competitor—someone you
know you’re
as good or better than—pick up more business with attractive marketing
material?
Have you started pulling out your hair because
your marketing material just isn’t giving you the results you deserve?
I
have some good news for you. IT’S NOT YOUR FAULT.
People study graphic
design and marketing for years before they finally
figure out what sells. If you embark on a marketing
project yourself, you have a small chance of getting it right. Most of
the time, however, your material falls a little bit
short. Don’t
worry! If you’re not a pro, there’s an easy way to pick up
the key skills you need without years of trial
and error.
This system will help you:
- Boost your visibility in your
market
- Learn how to organize a professional marketing
campaign for your company, product, or service
- Spend
only a short time in front of the computer to
create marketing material that people actually pick up and read
- Look as though you contracted out all your design
work (even though we both know you did it yourself!)
- Save money—then make money!
Say goodbye to wasting time and money chasing vague
notions of what could work. I’m here to tell you what does work.

I’ll take you through a 5-step process that will make designing and producing your next printed piece a breeze. Ready? Here we go:
Step 1:
- Learn how to organize your project like a pro
- Make a connect-the-dots, foolproof plan so you're virtually guaranteed to have a successful project
- Manage your deadline from finish to start so you never miss a deadline again
- Learn the keys to a successful budget (know EXACTLY what's it going to cost you BEFORE you even start a project)
Step 2:
- Find the top 3 trigger buttons to reach your target audience (so they can't help but buy your product or service)
- The recipe for sales – an interactive outline of text, graphics, and colors that will take your customers from “lookers” to “buyers”
Step 3:
- The marriage of text and graphics – otherwise known as page layout. Once thought best left to the professionals, but I’ll put the power of the professionals in your hands. You'll walk away with a fantastic piece that will draw your customer to you like bees to honey!
Step 4:
- The number one editing mistake – and how to avoid it!
- What you need to do to eliminate typos and other uncomfortable mistakes (Or you could end up spending tons of money on something you're embarrassed to use.)
Step 5:
- The Pre-Flight Checklist that will save your project so you never have to worry about finding problems AFTER the fact
- Start the presses – how to know when your project is ready for printing (and when it isn't)
- Details, details – how to make sure what you want is what you get
Those are the nuts and bolts of designing a marketing piece. Now I’d like you to think about your last marketing project. Did it go as smoothly as it should have? Did you reach your target audience? Did the final product look like you thought it would?
Now think about your next marketing project. What if I told you that you could reach your target market more effectively and have a marketing theme that you could be proud of? Not just a brochure, but also an entire graphics theme that people associate with your business. And at the same time cut your production time in half.
