Companies like StockLayouts offer a huge variety of professionally-designed brochures, postcards, flyers and more. Here’s how it works.
Step 1: Find the perfect match
Head over to StockLayouts and start exploring. You’ll find tri-folds, brochures, newsletters, postcards, flyers, presentations, letterheads and cards. Take your time and find something that will work for you company.
Step 2: Purchase and download
Now that you found the perfect design, add it to your cart and check out. After the purchase, you’ll be able to download the files in whatever format you need; including Microsoft Word.
Step 3: Customize and print
Open the file and replace the placeholder content with your own. Swap out the logo and photos and make it perfect for your business. Once everything looks good, you’re ready to print it on your local printer, at a local print company or using an online service such as GreenerPrinter (this is where we print our environmentally-friendly Forge3 business cards).
Step 4: Take your staff to dinner with the money you saved
Sit back and enjoy the fact that you just saved thousands of dollars.
Square peg, round hole?
Is it right for everyone? No. You may still need a highly-customized design. If so, you’ll need to consider a graphic designer or marketing firm. Many do exceptional work.
The bottom line
You don’t need to spend thousands on simple marketing items.
