2. Flyers: Flyers can be quite effective in making people know about a particular product, service or any other such stuff. However, in absence of an attractive flyer design, the effectiveness can get reduced quite easily. Information being provided on flyers needs to be organised properly; otherwise lack of focus can put off the reader. The images, colors and graphics need to be used at optimum levels so as to avoid looking too flashy and the flyer may become an eye-sore.
Too many different types of fonts, too much or too little space between adjacent lines.
3. Email marketing: Most email based marketing campaigns fail because the marketers start sending too many emails and their mails get filtered out as spam. Further, too many images and other useless content can put off the recipients. The recipients can also get annoyed with an unprofessional design of the email content and broken links. Many people decide on opening an email or not by looking at the subject line. If it is not proper, the email can quite possibly land in the trash.
4. Corporate branding: The biggest mistake that an organization can make is to not make any effort to set up a corporate brand image. One has to stand apart from the crowd to get noticed by the masses. At the same time, a business owner should not promise more than what can be delivered. This can, in fact, work against the prospects of the business, if the owner is not able to provide the quality or scale as promised.
