9 Ford Granada Brochure Covers (1970's to early 1980's)

When buying a new vehicle most individuals do research on the vehicles of interest, comparing price, features, specifications, accessories, and warranty before making a final decision to purchase.  Before the internet the best way to compare vehicles was to pick up a brochure at the dealership or receive one by mail, upon request. Check out these Ford Granada brochure covers from the 1970’s and early 1980’s.

How to Make an 8 Page Zine

Standard Flyer Cut to Create Two Flyers

Many businesses use flyers to promote new products, upcoming events and sales.  Most businesses have an advertising budget as well.  To help stay within the company advertising budget, instead of using the standard 4 inch by 6 inch postcard flyer, cut the flyer in half to create two 4 inch by 3 inch flyers.  The print company handling the flyer printing may charge a small fee to cut.  However, a small price to pay for double the amount of flyers.  Plus a flyer measuring 4 inch by 3 inch fits nicely in the jean pocket.

Example of 4 x 6 Flyer Cut to Create Two 4 x 3 Flyers

Hopefully by using this idea it will help you save money and stay within the company advertising budget.  For all your flyer printing services, Top Commercial Print provides high quality full color printing.

Is business cards Important ?

People often don’t’ realize it that printing business card is actually very important. They’re the silent key in business where no one would even realize they exist, but without them, there won’t be any trade or business deal. People couldn’t know about any kind of business without any printing flyer-postcard material which we usually see everywhere and every day. Although it’s now the digital era where everything is mostly done by electronic, color printing is still needed by everyone. Not everyone has electronic device, so where are they getting information? Again, from the printing material, which can be seen from banners, posters, pamphlets, brochure, and many other printed materials.

Principles in Business Companies

In business, it’s necessary to have all elements available, especially when it’s about promoting and marketing. Marketing, sales, and promotion are important elements that keep a business on the go. Without those three, how would people know about the company’s service and specialty? How would people know that such company and business does exist? That’s why people with good marketing and selling ability are valuable assets for the company since they’re the first in-line force that makes sure that the company will have flow of trade. One of the most ways in promoting and marketing is to have printing flyer-postcard, brochure, and even banner. Big companies even have advertisements on the TV or radios or internet.

In order to meet the requirements and demands from these companies, other service companies exist, such as advertising companies, printing companies, or logo design companies. These companies are actually connected to each other and they can’t exist without each other. For example, when there’re no companies in need for creating advertisement or banner, the printing flyer-postcard companies or advertisement agency won’t exist. When there’s no advertisement agency, on the other hand, companies who need them can’t survive long because they can’t meet their clients’ demands. So they should work hand-in-hand to make sure that each other can survive through the game so that no one would parish.

People often don’t’ realize it that printing business is actually very important. They’re the silent key in business where no one would even realize they exist, but without them, there won’t be any trade or business deal. People couldn’t know about any kind of business without any printing flyer-postcard material which we usually see everywhere and every day. Although it’s now the digital era where everything is mostly done by electronic, color printing is still needed by everyone. Not everyone has electronic device, so where are they getting information? Again, from the printing material, which can be seen from banners, posters, pamphlets, brochure, and many other printed materials.

So, again, what should a company do when it comes to their survival in this fast developing market and era? They should consider that all elements are important; starting from marketing and selling power, promotional method, and even publishing and printing flyer-postcard businesses. A company should realize that they can’t exist without other companies that might be unimportant – of they might seem to be – but they hold the key factor in a company’s success.
