Brochures — Product
Creative concepts and business-to-business copywriting by William C. Blake
Industrial product brochures are my specialty.
Even with the advent of the Internet, most business-to-business companies wisely start each product launch with the product brochure. The brochure remains one of the best ways to have in-depth initial discussions of product positioning, unique selling propositions, graphics, corporate themes, and more.
Many good B2B websites owe much to the trailblazing thought that went into the brochure copywriting process . . . even if web developers go on to apply that information in very web-centric ways.
