Make Your Advertising Error Free

By: Andrew Michaels

"There are few things worse than taking all the time to design and print out a full color poster only to receive it in the mail and see some kind of error. Maybe a few words are misspelled or maybe the colors look all wrong. No matter what the mistake is, the feeling that comes with it is never pleasant. Here are some tips for making sure this never happens to you.

To battle misspellings make sure to have multiple people proofread your work before sending it out. You may think to yourself that you can just write it, read through it, and see no errors. It must be fine. Only after you get it back do you notice a glaring mistake you can't believe you missed.

It happens all the time, and has happened to me a number of times. I'll read through something I wrote ten times over and miss the same blatant mistake every time. My mind simply read the correct spelling because I was expecting it to be correct. Having someone else give your work just a once over can do wonders to catch all those mistakes you thought weren't there.

Why let something so horrible as a spelling mistake find its way into your custom posters when you could've easily avoided it?

Understanding the way paper can affect colors is another important factor. Talk to your designer before sending your project to the printers in order to figure out the best type of paper to use to bring out the right colors. You can also talk to the printers themselves for printing all your posters in order to ask about the right type of paper. What good are full color posters if the colors look horrible?

Another different kind of mistake is underestimating the number of poster's you'll need. This may not seem like the biggest error, but printing off additional copies can be a very expensive move. Before having your poster printing taken care of be sure to add a few additional copies onto what you had intended to use.

How can this help with costs? Adding an additional fifty copies onto a job costs a lot less than having an additional fifty printed alone. The largest cost when it comes to printing is in the set up, not the number being printed. This is why books only come out in larger quantities in order to combat the high prices.

Don't throw your money away simply because you underestimated. As soon as you see the bill for the next round of printings you'll understand your mistake.

No one wants to see something they put a lot of their time and money into come out all wrong. If you follow these tips and make sure to double check everything you're sending out, you'll greatly reduce the chance of a terrible surprise when your posters arrive.
