Quick answer: marketing collateral is everything a business uses to explain and sell: brochures, product catalogues, company profiles, flyers, presentations, standees and price lists. Good collateral uses visual communication design to make information easy to scan, and brand communication design to make every piece look and sound like the same company.
Types of marketing collateral
| Item | Used for |
|---|---|
| Brochure | Explaining services, projects or a property |
| Product catalogue | Showing a product range to distributors and retailers |
| Company profile | Tenders, corporate clients and partnerships |
| Flyers and leaflets | Offers, launches and local promotion |
| Presentation deck | Sales meetings and investor pitches |
| Standees and banners | Exhibitions, events and retail stores |

What is visual communication design?
Visual communication design is the skill of explaining information with layout, images, icons and type so people understand it fast. It turns a complex process into a simple diagram or a long price list into an easy table. Brand communication design adds consistency: the same tone, colours and style across every channel.
Print and digital tips
- Decide the size and fold (A4, A5, tri-fold) before design starts
- Use CMYK files with bleed for print
- Keep a lighter digital version for email and WhatsApp
- Reuse the same templates so new editions are faster
