Surveys say that the number one reason people buy something (service or merchandise) isn’t actually price, but confidence.  Confidence in the company or person doing the selling.  Number two is quality.  Price is actually last.  This is true not only here in Michigan, but universally. What does this have to do with your graphic design?

Professionally designed marketing pieces can go a long way in helping with both your customers’ confidence in you and their perception of the quality of product you are offering.  If you have unprofessional marketing materials, how confident is your customer going to be in your professionalism?  If your materials look like they were thrown together, if your own materials make it look like you work out of the back of your truck, what message does this give potential customers about the quality of your product? 

You can be the most trustworthy, professional and quality company possible – providing outstanding customer service.  People should have confidence in you.  They should know you have a quality product or service.  But if your potential customers don’t get that impression through your marketing materials, they’ll never take that next step to do business with you and find out.

Think about the companies that you do business with.  What do you expect from their marketing materials?
