Do you know why most marketing materials fail? Because
first they are sales materials. . .written to convince someone
to buy. Guess what, nobody wants to be sold anything.

Really effective small business marketing materials educate
the prospects by showing them solutions, allowing them to
see themselves building a relationship with your firm, demonstrating
knowledge and expertise, showing past successes and the like.

Forget the tri-fold brochure and think about creating a marketing
kit full of inserts with titles like:

The Smith Company Difference
Our Core Services
Real Life Case Studies
Your Solution Process
What Others Have to Say About Us
A Little Idea That Became Huge

Then mix and match these pages to fit the needs of your prospect!
