Breaking Down the Right Kind of Questions
For those getting booklet printing done, one issue you have to consider is how well you are going to be able to hold a person’s attention. No matter how interesting you think the material is, you still have to write in a way that keeps them interested, and gets them thinking about what you have to say.
Using the most effective questions is a great way of getting people become engage, engrossed and interested in your writing. Thus, having people become very interested in you will only work if you know the right set of questions to ask. Here is a breakdown of the more common types of questions you can use.
Open questions are going to be very broad with a variety of answers. The purpose of a question like this is merely to get them thinking about whatever your topic happens to be, but not to direct them towards any one answer. All you want is for them to be open to what you have to say, and interested in learning more.
Closed questions have a set answer. These might be yes or no question or they might reference some specific aspect of a person’s life. These are good for focusing down your topic into a single area. Closed questions can also be good for ending your point by directing what you have just been talking about to the person’s life.
Leading questions can be similar to either open or closed questions. However, the purpose of these leading questions is to specifically lead people into a single answer, an answer everyone would be interested to know. These work well at the beginning of your booklet because you can get a person thinking about what they are about to start reading about. I would say that these are some of the most used questions that I see in booklets, and are used heavily in other types of advertising as well because of the ability you have to get people to think about exactly what you want them to.
Finally, there are rhetorical questions. Unlike any of the other questions listed, they aren’t really about generating any kind of specific answer, but instead to get a person thinking about an idea. These are used in a variety of different formats, and can be good for both opening and ending your booklet depending on how you choose to employ them. Because they do not really have an answer, they can create a specific mood that you want to set and you do not have to worry about people coming up with an answer to them that you were not expecting.
As I mentioned, any kind of advertising can benefit from strong questions, but given the length of booklet printing, you will want to be certain to make good use out of them when writing your booklets. Keeping people into and interested in what you are writing can be difficult the longer your work is, and anything that helps pull a person into your booklet should be used effectively.
