What Ever Happened To Quality?In his essay, "Quality", written in 1911, the great writer, John Galsworthy, recounts the tale of two brothers. Shoemakers with their own shop somewhere near the end of the 19th century, they exemplify the issue of q
Used the right way and with the right audience, postcards often outperform their mailbox “competitors” in money saved and revenue generated (the competitors are sales letters, self-mailers, unaddressed flyers, dimensional mailers and catalogs). Here’s why postcards are so effective.
QUICK
Postcards are quick to produce. You have only two sides to write on, two sides to design. And part of one side is taken up with the address and postal indicia. They are also quick to print and mail.
AFFORDABLE
Direct mail postcards are the cheapest of all the direct mail formats next to unaddressed flyers (unaddressed flyers require no stamp). They are cheaper to write and design, and cheaper to print.

Vinyl Banner Check List
1. Check Your Budget: (How much can you spend?)
2. Purchase Orders: (It's always good to send a P.O. with your order)
3. Check Your Designs: (What type of files are you working with?)
4. Quantity of Vinyl Banners: (How many banners do you need to order?)
5. One sided or Two sided banners: (Where is your banner going to be hung?)
(Make sure people can read both sides of your banner)
6. Size of your banner: (How large is your banner?)
(10/40 rule of thumb; viewing distance, for every 10' wide banner the optimal viewing distance is 40' from your banner)
7. Turn-around / Time lines: (When do you need your finished banner?)
(It usually takes much longer to produce a vinyl banner and have it shipped to your door than you think it does, give yourself more time, plan ahead).
8. Shipping costs: (where are you located in relation to your printer, how many banners did you order? what size and weight are the banners?).
9. How do you plan on paying for your banners? (Usually by credit card, find out prior to placing your order).
10. Communication with your printer: (Make sure you put everything in writing so there's no confusion).
