How to Get Your Posters Noticed
As a general rule, you only have a few seconds
to grab the attention of your target audience and keep it. In just the
few seconds that they happen to pass by your posters, make sure that
they would stop and read more of what you have to say.
Always remember that your posters or any other sales literature and
print advertising tools must always be posted and distributed on public
places. In addition, in order for them to create a ruckus, you need to
give them a reason to read your message. You have to drive them to your
message that they would not want to look at any other poster printing
in the area. Otherwise, you risk losing them to your competition, and
waste as well the resources and time you put to produce your print ad.
Here then are guidelines you can use to get your poster printing
noticed. You may only have a few seconds to get their attention, but
once you get your target clients interested, that is the start of your
business growth.
Always keep it simple and sweet. It is the first rule of thumb. Never
create something that is overtly exaggerated and dazzling that you
distract your target audience from the crux of your message. Do not try
to cram every element in. Despite the big space you have in your print
poster, too much information will only make you lose the attention of
your target clients. Always remember that they would be looking at your
poster ad at a glance. This means that in a few seconds they will not
be able to grasp everything. So be sure to keep it simple so that they
can get to your message right away.
Be bigger and better. Since you need to get attention, why not make it
bigger and better? Use larger graphics and images. However, a word of
caution: do not use too many. If you plan to make it bigger, opt for
one image to showcase in your poster. You only need enough substance
and content to make your point.
Be bolder. Use attractive colors and brilliant hues. As a marketer, you
have to remember that you have to have attention first before
appreciation from your target audience. Force your target clients to
look at your ad and make sure that they get your message at the same
time.
Be readable and legible. Do not make it hard for your target audience
to decipher your message. Again, you only have a few seconds to convey
your point. If it takes them minutes before they can even understand
your headline then you definitely will lose their attention in a snap.
Finally, never forget to test your ad. Make sure you test the effects
of your design as well as its impact on your target audience, before
you even put your posters to press. Get co-workers and friends to
comment on your design. Be sure to have them make an unbiased opinion
so you can change and edit your design before everything is printed.
