Letterheads are great at projecting an image of yourself or of your company to readers. The only trouble with it is that you have to be precise in your letterhead printing so that you can get the right image or impression across to people. You have to take into account several characteristics of your letterheads in the right variations and combinations to project that correct image that you want. Below are a few tips on how to be precise with your letterhead printing. This should help you to truly get the right image across to your readers.
1. Choose your content precisely - The first factor that we shall look at is your content. The content of your letterhead of course will directly influence your image to your readers. It is crucial that you be precise with your choices here. Besides adding the usual business content such as your name, title or your business name and contact information, you should also consider adding your company tag line, ISO certifications and other details such as awards and commendations.
These extra information should give off the right professional image that you want. Just be careful and choose what extra information will add to the right kind of image you want to project. Test out different configurations and ask the opinion of others before finalizing your content.
2. Choose your font style carefully - Of course your font style also factors in when it comes to your letterhead image. Professional fonts will of course project a professional image, while creative and wacky fonts will foster a creative image in your custom letterheads. So your font style all depends on your choice of image of course. The only big reminder I will give you here is to never use the "built in" fonts that come with your software. Try to download something new over the Internet. There are many other professional and wacky font styles that look fresh out there. Use these new ones to get a fresh new look to your letterheads that of course should project your choice image.
3. Insert extra images to reinforce your image - Images are of course a great way to reinforce a certain image that you want to project in letterheads. Of course, you should take care to not overwhelm your letterheads with your images. Choose something small and subtle to achieve what you want. Light symbols, swirls, borders, and simple dioramas with models should do the job easily. Just be careful and be analytical with your images so that you are sure they are projecting the image that you want. Have these images tested out with others to make sure everything is perfect before letterhead printing.
4. Only go for full color letterheads - Of course, with all these features added into your letterhead printing it is important that you only go for full color printing in this endeavour. Color adds extra emotion and information in your letterhead that helps you develop and improve the business image you are trying to project. So make sure you choose full color letterhead printing or drop letterhead printing altogether.
So those are the steps and tricks that you need to do, to get that right image across with your letterheads. It will be a bit tricky and troublesome, but if you do it right, you should get the impressive letterheads that you want that communicates the right impression on readers.
