How to Prepare a Pamphlet

A pamphlet is a format that allows you to target specific populations by selecting, and

then presenting concise information to improve knowledge levels, to change attitudes

toward a subject, to use in conjunction with other marketing approaches, and to educate

individuals, their families, and professionals.


Challenges Involved in Developing a Pamphlet

Writing and developing content for an effective pamphlet is challenging. You have a

limited amount of space in which to briefly, clearly, and professionally provide

information to your targeted readers. Therefore, it is vitally important to outline and

organize your pamphlet content, and then deliver it in a way that appeals to your

readers.

1. Identify the key concepts. Your assignment will outline several points that must be

covered.

2. Use headings or subtitles to address those key concepts.

3. Explain the key points at the beginning of each section.

4. Cite your supporting resources properly just as you would do with a traditional paper.

Note: Double-check with your instructor to determine if he or she will accept

footnotes rather than a reference section for your pamphlet if it helps to improve the

readability and appearance of your information.

5. Be sure to use graphics, photographs, charts, and other illustrations that are

appropriate for your topic and intended audience.

6. Make sure your design layout is logical, appealing, and relevant to ensure your

targeted readers benefit from your pamphlet’s content.
