OK, I'm with you on this one in that I am planning on mass producing my first brochure and trying to come to grips with the layout and information so I can get it out to the public. Quite frankly I am happy with the layout but I am not sure if I like the content. I can answer some of your questions (see below).
1. What software do you use to design your brochure?
I used Photoshop CS to design my brochure and I used a brochure template I downloaded from vistaprint.com (VP). VP can take a PSD upload, but if you have a lot of layers like I did, they want upload the file. So I converted to PDF within photoshop.
2. What format do you use?
- bifold, trifold, post card, etc... VP's standard brochure is tri-fold.
3. What information do you include in your brochure?
- the "what does your brochure have in it?" thread was very helpful
I need to check this thread, but I tried to create an informational borchure about why videotaping makes sense, and a little about my company.
4. Where do you get your brochures printed?
VP runs lots of specials that lets you try stuff for free. I got 25 brochures, had to pay for the upload charge and shipping. Total cost was about $18. Not a bad cost to try before you order 1000 brochures. I will tell you that I was extremely pleased with the finished product.
- i saw vistaprint.com and 4over4.com on the other threads?
- what about local places like office max or office depot?
5. How do you circulate your brochures? The one local video magazine in the area will hand out my brochure at local wedding shows. The second magazine told me that they would do the same thing for a price.
I 'd be happy to send you a .pdf to take a look at, but I prefer not to post it on the site.
Good luck.
