Marketing Brochures Brochures are like a business dressed up in its best suit and standing proudly to present the best image possible. You should write brochures in a way that enhances people's impressions of a business and makes them want to become customers. You will also need to work hand in hand with a designer to work out the layout in advance so you know how much space you have for copy and what needs to go where. Once the copywriting has been sent to the printers it's too later to correct typos. So make sure you proofread copy thoroughly once it's finished. Hopefully, this article has given you some ideas on the different types of content you will be providing as a freelance copywriter.
