Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Long ago and far away on another list some of us did a brochure swap. It was pretty interesting to see what others are doing and get ideas. Shaye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 > Long ago and far away on another list some of us did a brochure swap. My problem is, is that I've never had one, so I don't know what I'm doing. What are the basics everyone includes for content? LOL, there's a lot of pages that can be filled there. I just don't want to overload it so that the person looking at it gets bored & throws it out. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2004 Report Share Posted January 24, 2004 Colleen, When I did my first brochure, it was in Word using their template. I just included my business information (similar to my " about us " page on my website) and then information on the ingredients that I use. Alot of people started asking for a way to order through the mail so I started to include a mail order form with the brochure. Later, I got more requests for a catalog so I dropped the brochure and now have a catalog that I do using MS Publisher. I fold an order form and put it inside the catalog. This isn't the trifold type like I had when I did it in Word. This is a single fold. I use cardstock paper for the cover and then plain white paper for the inside. I have one for Retail and one for Wholesale. My Retail catalog is just a print version of my website as far as what I offer. The Wholesale catalog includes Private Label info and Wholesale Pricing, etc....It's not that fancy. No pictures or anything but it's better than my first brochure I guess. I only send them on request. Hope this helps a little. Katy My problem is, is that I've never had one, so I don't know what I'm doing. What are the basics everyone includes for content?
