Sales Collateral
Marketing Collateral Gets Your Audience Ready for the Sale By Providing Education and Validation
Importance of sales collateral
Sales collateral complements your business’ sales & marketing efforts. It is a visual representation of your business and what you have to offer to your audience as benefit and value.
When you get a request for more information, what do you send them? The cheap brochures you printed out last Friday at Kinkos, or two-year-old postcards you never sent out? Maybe a flyer from last year’s tradeshow? It is always important to keep your sales collateral current and also that they speak about the quality of your services or products through the content, design and paper selection. Well-designed sales collateral adds credibility. It allows you to better explain your brand, product or service and provides your sales team with various tools to close a sale.
