Business Brochures Marketing Tips

Brochures are a classic marketing weapon for a reason. They are an efficient way of getting valuable marketing messages in both images and text directly into the hands of potential customers. Brochures allow customers to quickly get a feel for products or services, while also finding answers to many of their initial questions. Brochures are great to include in a sales kit or pass out in high-traffic areas.

Consider adding a QR code to your design to link directly to additional online information. This can be a great way to provide more detail than you would want to cram onto your Brochures. Since a QR code can link to an online message, you can change the online message without the need to reprint the QR code.

Printleaf can print postcards on cardstock. Choose from 14 pt. uncoated cardstock, 16 pt. gloss cardstock, or 16 pt. matte gloss cardstock Postcards can be printed on one side or on both sides of the card.

What Size is a Standard Postcard?

There is no one specific size for a standard postcard. However, some popular sizes are:

• 4" x 6"
• 5" x 7"
• 5.5" x 8.5"
• 6" x 9"

We recommend smaller postcards if you want to go for more personal uses for your customers. If you would like to promote a product, offer, event, etc. then a bigger postcard will help fit all the information and graphics you would like to include in the postcard. 

Notepads for Businesses

Notepads serve as versatile marketing tools for your customers. They can be handed out to customers, clients, and employees, at conventions and trade shows, and even mailed to homes. Everyone needs a place to jot down notes, whether attending a business meeting, lecture or just on a call, so notepads are one marketing material that is welcomed by all.
