For most organisations, the only publication you have to produce by law, is an annual report. Why publish anything else? The answers can be as varied as the media available, from product and marketing literature through catalogues to newsletters to data sheets. Publications can do many things effectively and cost effectively. But they can also be a waste of money. The key to success, as always, is clear strategic thinking. Clarify your objectives What are you trying to achieve? Who are you talking to, and why? One audience or several? A range of agendas, or just one? As with any other communications exercise, you have to start with a clear grasp of your audience’s mindset: they’ll hear what you say, only if it agrees and answers - one way or another - with what they’re ready to hear. Choose your media Your audience and objectives dictate your media. (This may sound obvious, but you’d be surprised how often a brochure is sent to do the work of a newsletter; a glossy catalogue produced at great cost, when a simple datasheet would have done the job better.) We can advise you on which format or formats will best serve your needs, effectively and cost-effectively.
