So speaking of Vista print and their free stuff, I saw an offer for brochures!

Has anyone ever made them? If so what did you put on them? I was thinking of maybe offering our products on one side then my services or the oppt on the other? I guess it's the same as the post card idea but just bigger!?!

I made the fliers and just put general info on it like the host benefits and owning your own business and things like that. I haven't mailed them out yet though.

I've used Vista for brochures before (for something else, not PC) and even when they're free (you just get 25) you have to pay 5 or 6 bucks for shipping - at least! (not to mention image uploads are $5 a pop)I would recommend getting some mini-catalogs - they are much more professional looking, has our well recognized logo, etc. If you need more information than is in a mini-cat, you can make a catalog sized flier to put inside. Tape it up and it still mails for one stamp, or is a great "purse sized" handout.

I thought about doing brochures for a "Pampered Bride" shower but haven't really played around with it too much... it can get time consuming

You can buy the PC wedding registry brochures and you could just add something regarding showers. I DO love the postcards from VistaPrint though. I use them for all of my expos. They are much easier to keep nice, find and grab. Vs paper that can crumple or can be hard to grab just one in the rush. Plus, they are all glossy and colorful. I put info on the front and a recipe on the back. People are more likely to keep them that way.

oh really?? i 'll have to look into that. didn't realize you could get those... through PPP?

I got some of the brochures a couple months ago. I used one of the documents I found here that had a whole bunch of DCB recipes, and put about 12-15 of them on the brochure. It's mostly text, but I did leave one of their standard pics of a family eating dinner.There's another VistaPrint thread - they're offering free brochures and free image upload today. However, you'll need to take your own picture. We're not supposed to use images from HO on items we have printed by other companies.

 

[bsaxman]

oh thanks for the info. i had no idea we weren't supposed to use images from home office... Just to make sure I understand you right, we can't copy the ones from the website, save them and then upload to a place like vistaprint??

Nope. Nor are we to use the logo or the tag line that way, either. Even if we just type the tag line out. (Discover the chef in you.)Policies, page 19:

Well I played around at VP today and came up with a cute one... it has an apron on it (I debated over the chef hat design) but anyways: On one side I offered my services, the middle about hosting to earn free products then the last panel about the oppt! I'm going to use them at booths I think or to leave them on the bulletin boards where I usually leave cards and see what happens?

Sounds really nice Heather. Maybe you can share it with us.

I'm so uncomputer saavvy, how would you share it? I have to buy them still, as I saved them to order other things with the FREE offers going on.
