Flyers & Brochures Increase Sales!


Creating a Flyer or Brochure is fast and easy.

  You can generate cash receipts with the same marketing information! Cash receipts are the most often requested addition to our family of PDA software.  Almost all of our merchants accept cash, and they have a printer and PDA, but no way to generate a receipt!  Now with Pocket Change you can enter your sales amount, have the tax calculated, enter the amount tendered, have the change calculated, and print the receipt!  You can order it for only $10 online by clicking here !

  How many times have you wanted to buy something you have seen, but you cannot find it again?  This happens to people all of the time, and some of them are YOUR customers! If you are talking to a customer, and they walk away with nothing to remember or re-contact you with, you are losing sales!

  Fortunately, it is very easy to create brochures and flyers.
Microsoft has hundreds of templates for flyers and brochures, which is a great start, but you can see all of their templates for marketing materials as well.

Graphics and pictures
are truly worth a thousand words, and many of you will already have pictures of your products, but if you do not, don't despair.  Unless you are selling a one-of-a-kind item, or handmade goods, the chances are good that your supplier has pictures on their web page.  Another fantastic source is Google.com.  You can click on "Images", and use keywords to search from 880 million images on the internet.  Don't violate anyone's copyrights, but 'generic' images of just about anything are available if you look long enough.

  Internet based companies can do much of the same thing:
 Instead of a flyer or handout, consider a newsletter.  This one is a great example. Each week, we write about something of interest to our merchants:  Fraud prevention, new software, utilities, chargeback avoidance and protection to name a few.  Along with this useful information, we include and offer for one of our products or services that falls in line with that issue.  The additional sales have more than made this newsletter worthwhile. 
  Use your receipts as a sales tool as well: Our customizable footer in Pocket Verifier can add contact and sales information to your receipts:

Pocket Verifier Professional for Palm OS or Pocket PC can do this easily, to see how, take a peek at newsletter issues 31 and 32!

You can mix Plain / Bold / Left / Right / Center, etc….You can also override the character size (i.e., select "BCN"  for footer 1 and the upper line will always be Bold, Centered, and Normal font – even when small fonts is checked in Options. Now you can generate customized receipts with marketing slogans, Sales contacts, your website or re-order numbers, and more!
