The chief goal of any company is to get people to trust them. When I go into a store and buy something I’m trusting that they’re the best person for me to buy from. For some businesses this is easier to come by, because the kind of trust you need is different.
Retails stores usually require a low enough price or good enough service to get people placing their trust in them. If you advertise the lowest price around, that’s all people really need to see, and they’ll be willing to shop with you.
But for the service industry trust can become a very important aspect of selling yourself to people, and a lot of money is spent each year on commercial printing that has the sole focus of developing trust.
The nature of that commercial printing changes as well. Getting a postcard in the mail from a department store telling you about an upcoming sale is a great way for them to let people know they can get a good deal. A lawyer or doctor isn’t likely to have the same kind of success with the postcard format.
Instead you need to let people know what your experiences are and what services you can provide them. This is why brochures are often more commonly used with service industry jobs.
And testimonials are what go best with the brochure format. This is the end all best way to start developing trust in people. Showing them someone else who used your services and came away happy will be so much more effective than just hearing it from you, because let’s face it, you’re biased.
I know when I meet someone who suggests a good place to eat or a good plumber to use I’m likely to follow their advice. Even if I don’t know the person very well, just hearing that they’re satisfied is enough to alleviate many of my potential doubts. I now know that someone used them and liked the job they did, something a normal advertisement wouldn’t tell me.
Your job then becomes finding those customers and getting them to allow you to use their testimonial. A brochure filled with different testimonials will have a very noticeable impact. You can provide people with exactly what they’re looking for: proof that you know how to do your job and you’ll do the best job possible.
I’m sure the way you approach companies is exactly the same. Isn’t it just nice to have someone tell you that this particular person does a great job? This is what you’re providing to your future customers.
No promotional brochure should be without a testimonial. You’ll gain a degree of credibility it’s hard to get otherwise. Let your loyal customers speak up, and reap the benefits of your good service.

Many companies achieve this effect by using custom printed canopies and logo tents. The first thing that passersby will see is your logo or company name or graphic prominently displayed on the fabric making up the roof portion of printed canopies. This communication achieved through custom printed canopies needs to be clear and direct, so that a potential customer understands what it is that your company is offering.
Pop up tents and canopies are constructed for ease of set up and tear down. Basically, you unfold the tent or canopy, and as you do it springs into shape on its own. It is also quite easy to fold it back into a convenient shape for travel and storage as well. This is an important consideration if you plan to use your pop up canopy or tent in a variety of different settings over the course of a marketing season.
