I need some help in making a brochure that I can hand out to people to let them know the service I offer.

Does anyone here have one that they would like to share. Looking for something for t-shirt pressing.

So what exactly do you want to advertise? That you have a heat press and you can press shirts etc..... for other people?

Long story short, yes. I would just like to see what one should look like. How it should be laid out.

i don't have a brochure yet but this is what I would do in your situation. Take pictures of your equipment and some finished shirts (in color)and then say what ever you want to say about what you do. The pictures will help people see what it is you do. Most people don't know what a heat press or transfer is so....... if you provide a visual image then I think people will be more willing to maybe give you a shot. Oh! and don't skimp on really pushing the fact that it is "on demand" and "fast" people like things to be done how they want FAST! Pump yourself up man!!!

thanks. I was really hoping to hear from a few people about this topic. I'm sure people promote their services some how.

I don't know if a lot of people print up brochures for heat pressing services.

They probably use other marketing techniques to sell their services.

What type of market are you trying to reach? When and where will you use the brochure? Will the brochure be used in a certain setting like cold-calling or networking groups? Is it a "vanity brochure" just to say you have one?

Marketing seems like a big word for something so humble as a brochure, but marketing is exactly what it is. You can have a beautiful brochure that is absolutely useless...hummm...wonder how I know that?

According to people more experienced that myself, the back page of the brochure is the most read page so make sure you pay attention to it. Each page of the brochure should have your contact info. The back page of the brochure should have your contact info and make a statement(s) about what you want the reader to know or do.

For basic layout questions, these links contain brochure layout basics that I have found helpful. I do not promote any of these websites. I simply found the brochure basics info helpful...

Layout of A Promotional Brochure

You can find several pre-made templates and get some ideas of size and prices at
Vistaprint. www.vistaprint.com

They have a decent setup so you can create a brochure online and see what your brochure will look like when it is complete.

I use them for business cards and have had brochures made by them. Just make sure your font size is large enough.

I've seen brochures at vendor booths at local festivals. It's cheaper than handing out free catalogs, that's for sure. It all depends on who you're trying to reach.
