Error in Business Marketing Leaflets What would you do

[danny2019uk]

I have a large amount of leaflets ready to be distributed for my new business in print and design however there is a slight error on the leaflet my mistake of course and it is all to do with the contact phone number on the leaflet at the bottom of the leaflet. Anyone on here have any solutions on how i could go about saving the existing leaflets as there is quite a fair bit of them and is there a solution as the phone number is incorrect feel free to msg or respond to the forum of course I will be getting some new ones with the right phone number on however does anyone believe the leaflets can still be saved somehow or would you destroy them and start a fresh. Would be good to hear your thoughts on this.

Sorry to rain on your parade but your standards of grammar and punctuation are below what is required for a print and design business.

I suggest you get someone else to proof read the rest of the leaflet to see if there are other errors you are not aware of.

You can hand correct them one by one if you like, or stick labels over the incorrect phone number, but for the cost of them, bin 'em....
Get the design put right and get a new batch printed.

Can you imagine?

Here is a leaflet promoting my new print and design business - Oh sure I have a little sticker over a mistake I made but yours should be OK - probably.

You have two options, bin them and print fresh correct ones.

The other option is to buy the incorrect phone number shown on the leaflets.

 

[Mark T Jones]

You are going n print and design you gave 2 choices


1. Bin them and start again

2. Acquire the phone number on the brochures

If you were a plumber I’d say it doesn’t matter, but in the circumstances I’m shocked you are asking.

Thanks to the ones that have responded to my question the main factor was to identify if anything could be done to resolve such an issue. I am of course going to be ordering new leaflets.

You could print a sticker and then apply that to each sticker but it won't look good and would be expensive. Leaflets aren't expensive t print so better to bin and start again.

That's a bit below the belt @chalkie99 . ! I have been offended as my disprunctations ,unexplainations , contractuntanive hypnostanstics and general poor grammar and spellings are well documented on this site so I feel for the OP and view you observations as a brutal attack !

I would make the same mistake but would never submit my own work to the printer .
Unlike myself my children have done very well in education so if two of them check it over we are OK I think you need one of them proof readers as the others have said

OP you need a big fire and then start again

There are no other insights or views.

They are worthless for marketing. And why is the phone number at the bottom? Is this the best place? Leaflets suggests something folded, is this going to work better than a flyer? How are you sending the document, in the post with a free gift?

 

[paulears]

I'm really surprised that a print and design business, using this for marketing, has the need ti ask this question? Every single answer here should already be known to you? You have problems with design, proofing and problem solving - all the things you are offering because people can't do it for themselves? I'm not trying to be rude, but this is all in week one of BTEC Level 2 stuff in College.

my new business in print and design

Step 1. Bin the leaflets and start again.

Step 2. Review your skills to run a design & print business

 

[Graham Tyers]

I had 100k leaflets (8 page brochures) delivered with an error made by the design/pr/print agency. The proof I signed off was OK.

They sent the pallets back to the finishers and we cut them up into usable inserts for a folder.

A bit of creativity saved having to pulp the whole job.

The company went bust afterwards. Seemed they did that quite a lot

 

[Stedurham]

agree bin and look for another business

 

[Flankaaa]

It might be that you can cut that part of leaflets with wrong number, but you are risking again of being unprofessional if you don’t leave your phone number. I think that it would be best solution to print them again, this time let somebody to check numbers and spelling

 

[Martyn Thompson]

If the number is available, can you not temporarily lease that phone number and redirect it to your business?
