Worst nightmare comes true
“They’re here! Our fliers are here!”
My ‘almost client’ opened the box.
1,000 copies of super-glossy-four-color-cost-a-bunch fliers
She proudly handed one to me.
I got a puzzled look on my face and asked,
“When is your event?”
Pin drop moment, and I saw a tear. “Ten people checked that. Ten.”
A sad smile from me.
“The same ten people who helped write it?
And knew what it was supposed to say?”
“Kathie, you’re right. I’ll have you proofread it, next time.”
It doesn’t matter if it’s a flier, business paper, or niche market book.
It may even be a new online course or website update.
[Same project] + [Same people to proof it] = [Trouble]
We must use a ‘fresh pair of eyes’ on our final work, or results can be disastrous. And expensive.
Even a proofer needs a proofer!
