Kiddie travel brochures can teach young children about different cultures, places, plants, animals, and people all over the world. Most kids have not travelled outside the city or their state so these travel materials can open their eyes to the wonderful sights in other countries. But most of all, these materials can entertain kids while their parents are still discussing with a travel agent. So if you are working in a travel agency, suggest this endeavor to your boss so that things can work smoothly in the office. The brochure printing could be done in the office without much extra cost and you can volunteer to do the layout because it is really not so hard to do. That would give you extra points in the office because you are going out of your way to help in the operations.

But if this is your first time to do so, here are some tips that you could consider. Don’t worry, if you have a computer and you know how to use Microsoft Word (or it is the only thing that you know how to use), then you are on your way to becoming a brochure designer.

1. When you open a new Microsoft Word document, set your paper size to short size then landscape orientation. Then click on “Format” and you see that you can make a three column document for a tri-fold brochure. As you may know, this is the most common format used for travel pamphlets.

2. Type your text into the body of the document. You will see that your text will just follow the layout of the columns that you selected. Since your readers are kids, make short texts with subtitles for lots of breaks in the text column. If you can, just enumerate details in short phrases and put bullets before them for easy reading and quick memorization. Make your language simple, because your readers could be anywhere from 3 to 8 years old.

3. Choose appropriate photographs and store them in a separate folder in your computer. This way, you can easily browse through that folder when you need to insert a photo in a particular space. You will find that online, there are many sites that allow you to grab or copy any of their stock-free travel photos. The usual things that interest kids are animals, rare plants, rides at the park, or colorful items like ice cream, balloons, etc. These could greatly enhance the appearance of your work.

4. Remember to save your file from time to time. Making a pamphlet design may be easy but will take some time. To prevent losing your recent additions to the design save your file after every major move. It would also be good to save the front and back portion in separate files because that would be more convenient during printing.

5. Use glossy paper for your material. Do not just print it in regular bond paper. Although you can do this, especially if the company is not willing to shell out a budget for good quality paper, but printing on glossy paper will make the brochure design stand out and become more interesting for the kids. It is really for aesthetics.

Producing travel brochures for children are not a waste of resources if you are in the travel business. In a few years, these kids will become young adults who can already make decisions for their travel. They will remember the brochure printing that you did for them and they will surely come back to patronize you. And don’t forget the parents—they will remain your loyal customers for life.
