Boosting Response Rates To Your PDF Reports - 3 Tactics That Really Work
People that write PDF reports have to think about what they are doing prior to writing - they need to know what the report will be about. Putting one together will not require too much thought whatsoever. Most IMers do not understand the potential that PDFs have in regard to being successful online. The way that content is formatted will change the way people interact with it. Take advantage of any opportunity that comes your way as it is crucial to your success.
One oft he best things about creating PDF reports for your opt-ins is that you can use them for more marketing. How much you take on is your choice and you've got plenty of inspirational examples online. There are some PDFs that are so crammed full of marketing efforts that they are really distracting. What many marketers do is place their marketing at the bottom or at the end of the PDF. You need to think about your readers and try to remember that they didn't opt-in to get your report just to be slammed against marketing messages in every paragraph. Don't forget about who you are writing for, either.
PDFs are a great environment for bullet points and lists. Try not to overuse them, though, because it's easy to go overboard. Bullet points provide great opportunities for helping readers skim quickly.
Plus, you can use them when you have a short list of data or items to talk about. You can use a bullet list to outline them and then talk about each one as you see fitting. Short paragraphs about each point help you keep things understandable and to the point. Bullet point lists are also fantastic for grabbing the attention of a reader. When you've done this, your readers are going to slow down and check out your bullets when you scan them.
There is a lot that can be said about fonts and how you use them in a PDF report. Figure out who the most challenging demographic in your audience is--in this instance it is most likely the people who have passed the age of forty. Steer clear, then, of any font size smaller than twelve points. Yes, of course Adobe PDF readers have controls for making the font larger.
But still, it's better to use reasonable font sizes that will be easy for each person who buys your PDF to read. Try to avoid using the fancier fonts or the fonts that aren't typically used in PDFs. Verdana and Times New Roman are the best choices. A non-Serif font will be easier to read and will cause less eye strain.
So hopefully you don't have any reservations about the reasons you need to work at making your PDFs more "reader friendly". Making your ebooks more attractive and convenient for your audience is something you will get a positive ROI from, as well. Best of all, there is rarely any cost involved. If you are able to make header graphics you'll be well on your way and you can find some really great free ones anyway.
