We’ve all heard the statistics about first impressions: when you meet someone for the first time, only 7% of their impression of you is based on what you say, 38% on how you say it, and a massive 55% on their appearance and manner. No wonder we worry about choosing our clothes for that all-important meeting or job interview. But nine times out of ten when you go into a business meeting, the person you’re encountering for the first time has already formed an impression of you based on your communications with them up to that point.

Just as poor grooming – dirty shoes, crumpled clothes and untidy hair – gives the impression of an unprofessional individual, so poorly presented marketing materials – cheap, off-colour paper, low quality printing, free clip-art and silly fonts – suggest an unprofessionally run organization.

It’s not only the quality of the materials that will concern your prospects, though. Once you’ve got past the first hurdle of proving that you pay attention to detail and value quality workmanship, you still need to show that you’re the kind of person they will want to work with. Just as an interviewer will look for someone who seems to fit in with their company, based on their experience, their manner, and the clothes they wear, so your prospects will be looking for the kind of supplier they like to do business with. What do your business materials say about you?

Even the choice of paper can be telling. Ordinary white paper suggests a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. Thick, textured paper implies a more traditional, personal touch. Coloured papers are fun and funky,
