3. Evaluation
Front Cover
The front coverisclear,withthe companyname andbrochure title easyto readand understand.However the
companysloganisverysleazy,reading"Findingmore beautifuljewellery justinbrilliantneology". The attemptat
alliterationinthisinstance isweakandthe slogancomesacrossdisjointedwiththe attemptedeffectsounding
immoderate. A possible replacementforthisslogancouldbe "Individuality,expressedwithconfidence"asthis'isthe

Inside cover and last page
The inside covercopystrugglestomaintain attention,withsentencesandwordscausingthe readertohesitate and
misinterpretthe messagesattemptedbythe writer.Forexample,the original firstsentence states"leading
enterprise of ChinaJewel Industry whichissteeringthe Chinese jewel fashiontides".Thispoorpunctuationand
grammar leavesthe readerlostandaskingquestionssuchaswhoisthe company? Andwhat do theydo?
Moreover,the bodycopy strugglestoconveythe emotional needsof the reader withjewellerybeing an'occasional
purchase'mainlyboughtasa giftfora friendorfamilymember.The copydoesnotuse emotive language effectively
to expressthe emotionsof love andhappiness,thingsyouwouldassociate whenyoubuyjewellery.
1) "Setting the trend of China"
The replacementaimstofirstlygive the readeraclearsubheading'Settingthe trendof China'which definesthe
contextof the followingtext.Thisaimsto'maintainasense of movementsothatthe eye iscarriedprogressively
throughthe copy' (Jefkins2000).Two othersubheadings are usedlatereffectively inthe brochure.
The firstreplacementreads, "Global partnersof SwarovskiElementsandthe biggestsyntheticbrandinChina,
Neoglory Jewellersare the leadingenterpriseinjewelleryproduction".Thissentence aimstoclearlydefine tothe
readerwhatNeoglorydoesandtheirposition inthe marketplace. 'the leadinsentence [aims] tolinkthe headline
withthe restof the piece'(teachyourself 2003) The followingtextcanthenbe usedto explainwhythisstatementis
true, withthe use of othercopywritingtechniques.
The nextsentence reads,"Withourproductswidelydistributedtomore than70 countries andregionsacrossthe
globe,we recognise the local fashiontrendsof ourcustomers,providingjewelsof exceptional qualityatreasonable
prices". Thissentence aimstogive the readerevidence aboutthe statementof "the biggestsyntheticbrandin
China",and"the leadingenterprise injewelleryproduction".The readeralsoisbetterengagedthroughthe use of
'more practical emotive generalitiessuchas' (Jefkins2000), "exceptional quality"and"reasonable prices".These
helptocreate a mental image of the jewellerybeingof a particularstandard,andcreate a sense of desire forthe
brand. This contraststo the original copywhichwasplacedat the bottomof the page withpoor punctuationand
grammar. Furthermore,'giventhatbrochuresfavourfactsoverfeelings,youmustinclude all the relevantfactsabout
your product'(Maslen2010).
The final sentence,"Ourteamof 380 designersbeautifullycraftbespoke jewelstailoredtothe needsof our
customers",furtheremphasises the lowriskpurchase decisionpotentiallymade bythe customer,signifyingthe large
amountof designers,thatputsthe readeratmore ease ensuringdesignistakenseriouslywithNeoglory.
Furthermore,usingexcitingwordssuchas 'beautifully'and'bespoke'betterpaintapicture of the benefitsthe
jewellerywill offertothe customer.Thiswill helpto ensure the range of jewelleryfitsavarietyof differentcustomer

of certified activities inqualityand collaboration withotherwell-knownjewellery manufactures.
The Sub headingusesthe 'actionword'"drive",tocreate 'a sense of urgencyandpace to 'helpthe copymove along'
(Jefkins2000).Repetitionisusedonthe words"quality"and"innovation"todraw attentionandexpressimportance.
The nextparagraph reads,"Ourtwo longtermpartnershipswithSwarovski&Co andPreciosahave ensuredthe
consistentcreativityof innovative designs,usingjewelstonesof topquality. Ourawardforthe international quality

sentence,"the consistentcreativityof innovative designs".The discreetuse of thistechnique alsoaimstocreate a
sense of poetrywhichcouldbe associatedwiththe emotive factorsof jewellerysuchaslove,andfriendship.

manufacturing,we alsowanttobe leadinginourethical approachtobusiness.Committedtoprotectingthe
