Cheap Leaflet Printing is Possible
October 10th, 2011Handing out leaflets is one of the most versatile and effective methods of advertising a product or service. This medium of advertisement is perfect for small- to medium-scale enterprises (SME). But because SMEs do not have the financial muscle of big companies, good advertising can get buried in the mix of costly to-do’s.
For SMEs, knowing how to spend and where to save is crucial. Here are useful guidelines on saving money through cheap leaflet printing.
1. Lay out the leaflet personally
If you know how to use a graphics design software, then lay out the leaflet yourself instead of hiring someone else to do it for you. Another benefit is that your design will be much closer to what you have envisioned rather than when you let someone else design your leaflet. There are several graphic design programs out there which you can learn and use. You don’t even need to study in a special course; the Web has millions of pages of instructions, tips, and tricks on using these software
2. Go green if feasible
Save a digital version of the leaflet you just made and post it in your website and social networking accounts. It is also a good idea to include a downloadable, printable version. By effectively using the Internet and social media outlets, you considerably reduce the advertising costs
3. Make your leaflet smaller
If the essential details can fit in a quarter sheet of office paper, then avoid printing full-sheet-sized leaflets. Use a quarter-sheet. Analyze your project-specific targets and work your way into the design to achieve them.
4. Find a sponsor
There are firms that are willing to share the price of printing you in exchange for advertising space. For example, if a printing company decides to shoulder half the cost, you can acknowledge them by adding a “Printed by Company X” at the bottom of the leaflet.
