Proofreading for businesses

Give the best first impression of your business with professional proofreading for your website and company literature, leaving you free to concentrate on the business of running your business

Do I really need a proofreader?

As you’ve found your way here, I’m guessing you already know the answer to this question!

Every business has different requirements – some are exclusively online, some produce regular company literature for their employees, some use printed marketing materials, and some regularly need to create beautifully put-together proposals to impress potential clients. The one thing all businesses have in common is the need to present some form of written communication to their customers, clients, leads, employees, shareholders and investors.

An online presence and high-quality print marketing are essential tools for promoting your business successfully, whatever line of work you’re in.

Your own website gives you complete control over how you publicise your business or sell your products. You can also build your own captive audience of mailing list subscribers, and, perhaps most importantly, you’re not subject to the whims of the Musks and Zuckerbergs of the online world…

  • Your website or blog is likely to be the first point of contact you have with your clients. Clear, concise and accurate content lets them know you’re an expert in your field. And if you rely on your website or blog for your income, well-presented content could be the difference between money in the bank or a lost customer.

    Paying attention to your copy will help you retain your existing clients and attract potential new ones.

  • If you keep in touch with your clients and followers via your newsletter mailing list and social media accounts, you’ll want to engage with them and drive traffic to your website with timely emails and social media posts.

    Getting your digital marketing checked by a fresh pair of eyes can help to ensure your marketing is free from spelling, grammar and punctuation mishaps and has working links.

  • As well as getting your online marketing materials professionally proofread, you can also have your printed marketing materials and company documents checked.

    Examples of just some of the documents I can proofread for you include (but are not limited to):

    Print advertising: business cards, flyers and posters

    Menus

    Price lists

    Internal and external company literature: proposals, quotes, reports, etc.

    Press releases

How can a proofreader help me?

By holding your website and company documents to the same high standards and level of care that you put into your products and services, your customers and clients will know that you’re a business that places importance on the details.

To give your marketing materials and company literature a professional look and feel, your copy needs to be as perfect as possible.

Of course, we all make mistakes but there’s really no good reason to take the risk of damaging your authority and expertise in the eyes of your potential customers – this means no random typos or spelling mistakes, making sure your information is accurate and ensuring your presentation is clear and concise.

For a thorough check of your marketing materials and company literature, nothing beats the trained pair of eyes of a professional proofreader. Having your copy proofread will help to ensure it’s clear and concise and any spelling, grammar and punctuation mishaps are picked up and corrected.

So perhaps the question you should really be asking yourself is: Can I afford not to use the services of a proofreader?
