Elements of a Good Sales Poster

• Heading

  In most posters, the top-most element that you will notice is the name and logo of the company behind it, and this element is referred to as the header. However, there are other types of posters that don’t have them because it is no longer necessary. But for sales posters, considering that it represents a business or organization, it is highly recommended to include their identity on the poster to provide information to the readers. This way, people can easily associate the poster with the company.

• Main content

  This is the element where the actual sales pitch is done, whether it bears a list of products and/or services, the benefits the people can get from availing of such products and services, or a little bit of both. Here, readers will be provided with information as to what the business is trying to sell while trying to accompany it with a few supporting information. When writing the content, always take into consideration the pace of the passersby who will read them. Make the content as short and concise as possible, enough to have them digest it the information in no more than five seconds. If ever the heading and the content were enough to capture their interests, then they will most likely slow down or even stop to be able to gather information more thoroughly from your poster.

• Fine prints

  For other, they refer to this area as the footnote, mainly because it is located at the bottom-most area of the poster. But regardless of how you call it, this section is mainly for providing the readers with even more supporting information regarding the products and services being pitched, or the business itself. Also, this is the element where the contact details of the business can be found.

• Background

  This is the element that provides the poster with the needed creative in order for it to stand out and be noticed. In other words, the background is the enhancing element of the poster that helps in keeping the design from looking uninteresting. While the main content is what matters most from your posters, the background is what attracts passersby to take a glance at the poster in the first place.

• Typography

  Just like the background, the typography also helps in enhancing the look of the poster and keep it from looking bland. But unlike the background, the readers’ eyes are more focused on the typography because they are the elements that comprise the main content of the design. When choosing the type of font, try to avoid using overly fancy ones and lean more towards the simpler serif or sans serif.

How to Designing a Good Sales Poster (5 Steps)

• Step 1: Make a sketch

  Are you certain about the design that you are about to make? Most probably, no. If you are willing to exert a little amount of time in order to make the rest of the process smoother and easier. This little extra time should be spent on making a sketch of the design, or a written description of the layout if you aren’t good at sketching. Here, you can do as much as you want, from adding illustrations to writing short texts, simply to give you an idea of what you want to achieve at the end. It is best to do this early in the process so you’ll know what to do.

• Step 2: Download a template

  If you’re up for the challenge in having to make your poster design from total scratch, just make sure you have the sufficient amount of time for it, otherwise, you might want to use templates instead. Templates are designs that are already halfway done and will only require few modifications before it can be used. Again, you can always design your posters from scratch if you want to, but if you’re not, then you can always download a template and work on your poster from there. Additionally, poster templates can be found all over the internet, so don’t worry about not being able to find what you need.

• Step 3: Edit the template

  As mentioned earlier, templates are only halfway done and will still need a few (or a lot of) touches in order for it to be suitable for publishing. When editing, you can do as much as adding more elements, removing pre-set ones, or rearranging them on the layout. The best thing about the templates that we are providing is that they are all fully editable while still preserving the quality. The only catch is that in order to edit the template fully, you will need to use the right editing tool. Thankfully, these templates come in various formats, just choose the one that’s fully compatible with your editing tool.

• Step 4: Finalizing and proofreading

  After editing the template, don’t publish or print it just yet, check if everything looks the way they should and proofread the content for any errors. Proofreading is very important especially in businesses and sales since it helps in adding to the reputation, a single error on the grammar or content will risk you your clients, so be sure your poster is error free once you decide to publish it.

• Step 5: Printing

  And of course, printing out your posters. If you have the necessary equipment for printing such large materials, just be sure to invest in quality and to set your printer to print at the highest possible quality. On the other hand, you can always go to printing companies and have your posters printed out by them.

Simple Tips for an Excellent Sales Poster Layout

• Don’t over-clutter the design, limit the number of images, illustrations, text, and colors used.
• Embrace negative space, make sure that there is a sufficient amount of it in between elements.
• Organize the content in order for the audiences to read them easily.
• Just keep the design as simple as possible and make sure to highlight the information that is most important.
