Creating an Effective Pamphlet – Simple Tips
Effective pamphlets present information that is organized,
informative, supported by
valid research, and easy to understand. You can prepare an
effective pamphlet by using
the following tips:
1. Use short, yet compelling words, and brief sentences. Keep
your audience in mind.
2. Use quotes sparingly. As a rule, quotes have value for
emphasis if you cannot
rephrase the information any better in your own words.
3. Write your content using the active voice. (Active voice:
“Families can provide
support to children struggling with homework by finding a great
tutor.” Passive voice:
“Support can be provided by the family to children struggling
with homework by find

Pamphlet Content Guidelines
1. Use a simple font with a point-size of no less than 12-point
(footnotes should be no
smaller than 9 point).

clearly and simply
presented.
5. Use graphics that are relevant to your pamphlet’s overall
content.
6. Be sure the graphics complement your content, instead of
overwhelming it and
creating distractions.
7. Ensure your graphics are tasteful, inclusive, and appropriate
for your readers.
