Free Advertising Tip:
Make Sure Your Ad Is Easy To Read
by Tom Egelhoff
DO YOU THINK THIS SENTENCE IS EASY TO READ? WOULD YOU ENJOY A BOOK OR NEWSPAPER IN ALL CAPS? THE MORE SENTENCES THERE ARE THE HARDER IT IS TO KEEP YOUR PLACE AND THE SAMENESS OF THE LETTERS MAKE READING MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT.
The upper and lower case text gives our eyes and mind exercise. We must look up and down at the print to decipher the message. Plus it seems like I might be yelling at you.
This tip points out that there is a time and place to use all caps. Usually short sentences or headlines are best. Resist using it in the body text of brochures. If you want to emphasize something, make it bold.
