But what about Leaflet Design?
Leaflet design needs to be informative and eye-catching. Using brief text, attractive font, appropriate color choice, striking imagery, and an easy-to-follow layout is best practice. Menu leaflets must be consistent with the rest of your marketing; they should be similar in design, color, font and logo. Below are some design decisions which need to be considered: Word of Mouth: Provide good food, good service, value for money and treat both employees and customers well to help grow your sales by becoming known as a trustworthy business.
1. Appeal to your customers
Make sure your choice of colour, imagery and copy style will appeal to your target customers. Use colors that attract and complement each other.
2. Strong images
Pictures are a fantastic way to reinforce your message and they should display exactly what products you want to sell most. Big strong images to get your customers salivating are more important than multiple, smaller images.
3. Ease of Reading
Your leaflet needs to be easy to read and find specific items. Use short headings, short sentences, and a font that is easy to read.
4. Menu Prices
Mix the order of more and less expensive dishes in your restaurant menu to help reduce customers selecting by price.
5. Offers Included
Adding offers or vouchers on your leaflet will tend to make your audience hold on to your leaflet for longer.
6.Ensuring a call to action
Be sure to include your contact details clearly: phone number, email address, website address, business address and opening times.
7. Tell a story
Consumers enjoy and respect stories about authenticity, family, and tradition on the early beginnings of a food business. This can help make your store stand out in the consumers mind.
8. Additional Information
Inform your costumers about any extra services your business provides like catering events, throwing birthday parties, delivery services etc. The menu should also include a reference to its Facebook page if one is in place.
