Email remains one of the most effective ways to get your message in front of people — and pairing it with a well-designed PDF can give your promotion a professional edge.
Why Use Email for Promotion?
Email puts you in direct contact with your audience. Unlike social media posts that might get buried, an email lands right in the inbox — where people are more likely to read and click.
Benefits include:
- Direct communication with your contacts
- Higher visibility than social media
- Easy to track open and click-through rates
- Cost-effective and scalable
What to Include in a Promotional Email
Keep it short and focused. A promotional email should:
- Grab attention with a strong subject line
- Explain your offer clearly in the first few lines
- Include a call to action (ex: “Download the flyer” or “Sign up now”)
- Link to a PDF with full details (event info, pricing, menus, sponsorship levels, etc.)
How to Use a PDF for Promotion
PDFs are perfect for creating polished, printable promotional materials like:
- Event flyers
- Sponsorship packages
- Service menus
- Product brochures
- Registration forms
They can be attached to emails or hosted on your website (or Dropbox/Google Drive) and linked directly in your email or social media.
Pro Tips:
- Keep the file size under 5MB to avoid bounce issues.
- Use clickable links inside the PDF (for websites, email, or payment).
- Add branding — include your logo, colors, and contact details.
Example Strategy:
Let’s say you’re running a charity event. You could:
- Design a PDF sponsorship package
- Write a short email introducing the event and invite support
- Attach or link to the PDF in the email
- Follow up with a reminder or thank-you message
