Business cards are a staple and a necessity of any business today. They have been around in one form or another since the 17th century in France, then known as "visiting cards" They were about the size of a playing card. About the same time in England there appeard "trade cards" which were used as advertising and maps to local business.
In the 19th Century, they became more of what we recognize today as a formal business card. Initially limited by the printing methods of the times, they were typically black on white. Some would hand make their cards to be more elaborate and colorful.
Today a business card can vary widly from the more traditional black on white. With modern printing techniques and materials cards can be colorful and creative and be printed on anything from plain white stock to a rainbow of colors and materials including metals, plastics and even cloth. They can be glossy or matte finished. The design is only limited by your imagination.

Flyers are a simple but effective means to advertise. A simple flyer need be nothing more than a black and white photo copy. If you want to get attention, however, consider color. Even if you do it yourself you should purchase colored paper to make it stand out. If your flyer is on white paper it can be lost in a stack of other papers on someone's desk, but if you choose hot pink it will be easy to spot from across the room!
A step up is a full color flyer. They cost more but can make a better impression on the reader. Sometimes saving a few dollars on producing a flyer can cost you in lost opportunity.
A Brochure is the next step up from a flyer. Most flyers are a single page printed on one side and intended to be handed out in bulk. A brochure, on the other hand, will typically be distributed at such venues as trade shows and business networkers or mailed to prospective clients on request. Expect them to cost more but you typically will not need as many per printing. A brochure would typically be folded into a simple booklet but may be a single flat sheet in the form of a product data sheet. Most of the time they will be in full color and printed on both sides. They may even serve as a basic catalog if you have only a few products or may promote a special on a specific product out of many in your primary catalog.
Post Cards are a good way to reach people on the cheap. Well...nothing these days seems "cheap" but when you consider that for under a dollar each including printing, purchasing an address list and buying postage, you get a fair amount of bang for the buck. You can even use them as a simple brocure as well, giving them dual purpose. Remember to keep them within the size limits set by the post office to qualify for post card rates or you will find yourself paying first class rates.
Of course we can help you develop anything from a simple brochure to a post card or even a full blown catalog.
