Such doubts can be done away with when you handout leaflets or send it to the mailboxes of your esteemed customers.
·      Personalized marketing : A growing area in printed marketing is its ability to get up close and personal with the target audience.

While you may think that this is a bit too far-fetched, the pace with which print marketing is evolving, it may not really be as difficult as you might think. However, if you are thinking of simply distributing the leaflet to all, you can keep the language on the leaflet conversational and use phrases and words that convey familiarity.
