Fold of the Week: 2-in-1 Reversible Brochure
The simplest solutions are often my favorites, because I enjoy sharing ideas that are attainable for anyone who wants to use them.
So, today I’ve got an absolutely killer low budget idea for turning two brochures into one dual-purpose design. Here’s what makes it great:
- This idea utilizes the most machinable, easy fold, which makes it widely accessible to marketers and their preferred printers.
- It’s one of those ideas that might never occur to you until you see it in application.
I hope after watching this episode you’ll be looking for ways to put this idea into practice. Thanks so much for watching. I’ll see you next week.
