Competition is a natural part of any market or industry. Even in the marketing world of brochure printing, you will probably see lots of brochure samples in direct competition with your own color prints. If you think you are having trouble with those rivals though, you might need to ramp up your technique in brochure printing to beat them. Let me teach you how to beat that rival color brochures with five simple steps. Just read the steps below and learn.
1. Use a different and distinct theme approach – If the classic brochure template and theme is not working against the competition, then it is time to use a different approach. Typically in highly competitive environments, you will need to use a distinct theme that will separate you from the rest of your rivals.

For example, in a market where most people use the cheap and affordable theme in their color brochure marketing, you can be a bit distinct and go for that higher quality and reliable theme. You can also try using your brochures to appear more friendly to certain demographics so that you can be distinguished as a product "for them". The more distinct you are, the better for your color brochures.
2. Apply a different color scheme – Another important thing to do to beat those rivals is to apply a different color scheme to your brochure samples. By using a color scheme that is really distinct and different from the rest, you can immediately mark your brochures for attention. So if for example your market is full of white, yellow and orange brochures, you might go for the other end of the spectrum and go for cooler blues and greens.
Beyond that, you can go for unique and exotic colors like gold, silver, celadon, champagne etc. so that people really will take notice. As long as you can use a color scheme that is not similar to others, your brochures should be able to do particularly well against rivals.
3. Use a different and bigger brochure template – Another great trick to help you beat those brochure rivals is to use a different and bigger type of brochure template. Generally, if your brochures are bigger people will pay attention to it more.
Moreover with bigger full color brochures people will undoubtedly remember your prints more just because it was the one thing that was larger than the rest. So if possible try to always use something that is just a little bit bigger for your brochure printing.
4. Outdo their brochure printing quality – It is also crucial that you outdo the brochure printing quality of your rivals. By using higher quality materials than the competition you can assure yourself that people will be more impressed with what your brochure has to say instead of those other cheaper prints out there. So make sure that you spend the most money that you can on the best brochure printing materials, paper and ink.
5. Outmatch their distribution – Lastly, beating your brochure rivals means outmatching your competition's distribution strategies. You must cover more ground and more people with your custom brochures. The more locations you can deploy the better. It is important to match every location where your rivals are deploying and then do a one up on them and go for other extra areas. Believe me, if your brochures go around much further than your rivals, you have a high chance of actually beating them.
Great! Now you know how to beat those rival color brochures. Just follow through on all the steps above and you should be well prepared for the competition to come.
