I agree with both of you. A good graphic artist can enhance your brochure and offer you a look that is not like anyone else, but if your budget is non-existent and you feel confident in the content you want to use in your brochure there are some great sites that offer easy to use templates. Another great site is http://www.Vistaprint.com
Most of the newer computers come with their own program for brochure template design and you can take your file to any local printer and have what you created printed. Just be sure to review your work carefully and be clear on the message. I have seen established businesses who have struggled on understanding what their brand is and how to create an effective marketing brochure and other marketing material.

Thanks again for posting and please be sure to share this site with your friends. ~Charlene

If you are handing out “ordinary” business cards and do-it-yourself brochures, what image are you projecting for your sales prospects in this competitive market? Charlene can help you identify your target audience and create your marketing message. A graphic designer can translate that message into a visual image. A print brochure designed by a graphic designer can also be displayed on your web site.

A strong brand with the correct color scheme to convey your message is essential for businesses of all sizes. Don’t shortchange your business with a standard template. We all need to differentiate ourselves, not mold our unique images to fit standard templates. A small investment to design a new logo, business card, or brochure can enhance your visibility. Visual images are powerful communicators.
