A lot of thought, money, and skill probably went into that design. But you don't have to be a design guru to achieve expert results! Follow these five tips to create effective, professional-looking marketing materials for your small business.

1. Select appropriate font treatment: More is NOT better when it comes to fonts. Pick no more than two typefaces per document - one for headlines and one for body copy. Stick to a simple, clean font for easy body copy readability. Headline fonts can be a little more creative. For emphasis on certain words or phrases, use italics, boldface, or underlining sparingly. Also try to make the typeface match the personality of the service or product you're representing.
2. Use white space wisely: Just because the space is there doesn't mean you have to fill it! Good designs contain well-planned white space. ("White space" is simply the areas in a layout that are left bare - without text or graphics.) It gives the eye a break and helps to highlight the important points. Make sure to have enough space around the edges and in-between columns and articles. And remember that there is a fine line between not enough and too much white space. Consult well-designed magazines and ads or computer templates for layout inspiration and ideas.

      Academic Qualification for Business Success
      You know, I am a keen observer of business activities, not at international level, but at the nook and corner of the city.A “school drop out” makes gold coins on the street!I was watching at the boy in a corner shop at the ninth street of that populous cross cut road. He was holding a small slicing tool with one hand and operating it rhythmically with the other. The slices fly off and fall into the simmering coconut oil. He turns and takes them out as gold coins. Yes.

      College and Business Counselors and the Advice that they Give
      Often College students complain that their counselors gave them bad advice. Sometimes these students complain that they were put into the wrong classroom, major or the career guidance counselor gave them bad information. Most major colleges and universities have a job placement program and they do a pretty good job of placing between 60 and 90% of all their students in Fortune 500 companies.But merely being placed in a good job to which you are not suited can be very problematic t

      Why EXACTLY Did I Start Up My Own Business?
      Why did I start up my own business, you ask? Simple. I had to.I had to because there was something gnawing at me from the inside that kept telling me that I had to. I'm not trying to be dramatic here at ALL. I finally decided on a rainy Thursday that it was time to start up my own business because I had been led to believe by my parents that owning my own business was the one way that I could never be fired.Hmmm.That was my exact motivation.

   8. Find effective graphics and photos: It's always better to use too few than too many graphics. One great graphic is so much better than four weak ones. Sometimes they are not even necessary. When you do use graphics and photos, make sure they help illustrate your point, rather than just inserting them to take up space. Likewise, be sure their sizes are appropriate to the space. Stick with high-quality graphics - in this age of affordable, quality clipart, there is no excuse to use any image that isn't perfectly clear and neat. Never use a "gif" file in a print document; those are created for web use only. Make sure the graphic element illustrates your main point - it's the first thing the reader sees, so it's important it portrays your message accurately. Lastly, don't mix differently styles of illustration or photography - keep a consistent look to create harmony.
   9. Keep copy short and neat: Readers are more likely to read short sentences, paragraphs, and articles written as if you're having a friendly conversation. Break up large blocks of text with bullet points and subheads. Instead of using fancy multi-syllable complex vocabulary, use everyday words that your audience will understand. A good rule of thumb is to write at a sixth-grade reading level. Finally, always have someone else - whether a professional copy editor or a skilled friend - proofread your work. It's impossible to catch all your own typos.
