A cheat sheet is a collection of guidelines for a specific topic. The target groups for the reminders can be teenagers, parents, students, drivers, tourists and other categories of people. The memos are distributed in social, educational, cultural and other institutions as part of educational programs through visitor corners. Also, reminders are used during promotions of commercial companies.

Step 1
Before compiling the memo, you should collect the information that will form its basis. Since memos come in different formats - from the size of a pocket calendar to a small booklet, you need to decide how many useful tips it should contain and in what form it is destined to appear before the consumer. You can also get acquainted with the material already available from other organizations, so as not to repeat what they have done and find a starting point for creating your memo.
Step 2
Important in the memo is its color design, which in many cases corresponds to the color scheme of your organization's logo. Any publication, from a booklet to an album, attracts primarily with its colors. Therefore, we advise you to try several options in order to choose the most successful one. If necessary, you can contact a specialist.
Step 3
Any memo, regardless of its format, begins with an appeal to the reader. It contains a summary of the relevance of the problem, for the solution of which a potential client may need the information provided in the cheat sheet. An appeal to the reader is obliged to attract the attention of the one who accidentally stopped his eyes on him. Often the title of the memo is presented as a simple question, for example: "How do I get a driver's license?"
Step 4
The main text of the memo is designed in the form of tips, which are divided into thematic blocks or sequences. The main requirements for the content of this part are the availability and relevance of the information presented. After reading the memo, the reader should be tempted to put it in the bag and return to it when the opportunity arises. You can end the memo with your organization's contact information.
