Why Proofreading Matters

This was tucked in my door the other day. How many mistakes can you spot?

Listen, I can appreciate that English is a hard language (it’s challenging for me at times!), but that’s even more reason to invest in a proofreader, especially for print materials. One “typo”? Meh — I might be willing to overlook it (but I know many others who wouldn’t). But when I count 5 mistakes on one flyer? That makes me wonder A) how serious you are about your business and B) what sort of mistakes you’re going to make with your service. (And mistakes with food make me twitchy.)

A quick proofread or copy edit of a flyer would be quick and affordable…and save you embarrassment and having people dismiss your service out of hand.

Repeat after me: proofreading matters!
