Whether the brochure is delivered in the mail or grouped with other catalogs or brochures on a stand, a full-color, eye-catching cover is essential for getting the reader to engage with the piece. One of the most common questions asked about brochure design is &#8220;what is the most effective color to use on my brochure cover?&#8221; The answer is that there is no magic color. The key is to use color well. Using high contrast colors is the best strategy because this creates a bolder statement, and it also increases comprehension and recall of your brochure.<br \/>\nColor also presents and creates positive, high-quality image. Black and white is less expensive and it doesn\u2019t translate as effectively into a high-value image.<br \/>\nUsing color inside the brochure, where you need to build interest and desire, is more effective than black and white because it helps break up text-heavy pages and gives readers a destination on the page. Black and white can create a monotonous effect where items don\u2019t stand out on the page and therefore, don\u2019t capture the reader\u2019s eye.<br \/>\nResearch on the Isolation Effect &#8211; when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely to be remembered &#8211; clearly shows that participants are able to recognize and recall an item far better (be it text or an image) when it blatantly sticks out from its surroundings.<br \/>\nColor images, icons, and strategic colored words such as \u201cNew\u201d help drive the reader\u2019s focus and create for a more engaging experience.<br \/>\n<strong>Don\u2019t Abandon Techniques that Work<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>If you\u2019ve been printing in color and it has been working, abandoning that method could end up costing you in terms of image and registrations. Lifelong learning and continuing education programs need to invest in marketing methods that will attract new customers and keep existing ones informed of their offerings. While it may be tempting to reduce marketing in order to save money, your registrations could suffer as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While developing a print brochure in full color may be costlier, converting to a black and white brochure might end up costing your program more in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17627,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[521,527,534],"club_category":[768,767,779,791],"class_list":["post-11960","club_article","type-club_article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-brochures","tag-marketing","tag-trends","club_category-brochures","club_category-club-articles","club_category-marketing","club_category-trends"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Is it Worth the Cost to Cut Color?
