Default Color Flyer / Brochures: 5000 for strarters

Just got my new color flyer brochures to either leave at homes, insert in the newspaper, or use at shows.

The final product looks so good, I wish I had used color before. We've had decent response from B & W, but those don't even compare to these. They even feel good.

$635 USA to the local printing company. As good a price as ordering online, with no shipping fee.

#80 gloss stock.

(The .pdf shows question marks for bullets. The finished printed ones have round bullets. It's just that my .doc to .pdf converter won't convert that font / symbol.)

If I didn't post the file before, here's the .doc & .pdf I sent them. They fined tuned it a bit, but its very close.

The made the name burgandy, and I decided I liked it that way too, as well as the matching outlines.

Next year, I may try a folded brochure, but I like the way full sheets display.

One thing I've seen arborists do in our area, is order the folded ISA brochures and stamp their name and number in them, or put a business care on them with a paper clip.

I think those are 20 cents apiece, aside from a business card.

Mario, there's no phone number for you on there. Looks like you knew that though however bit of a risk?

Other than that it's great, but I dont understand what bonded means.

No phone was intentional. I'm saving 90% of them for Portland, where 99% of anybody who ever hires me is a regular internet user. I'd get emails about estimates weekly from people at Nike's world headquarters when they were at lunch. And a lot of customers were of Hillsboro ("INTEL inside !!).

Hillsboro is referred to as Oregon's "silicon valley" or "silicon forest" due to all the high tech businesses. See "Economy" on this Wikipedia page...

Hillsboro, Oregon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But the town is green with landscaping, so it does not look industrial. The really live up to the name business "parks".

Insurance for damage, of course.

The bond - if you give me a down payment to put plants in your yard, and I go out and spend it on beer

The license board here, requires landscapers and tree services to have a bond and insurance to maintain an Oregon license.

Also, if I have credit at a plant nursery, and buy plants and install them, but fail to pay the nursery, then the nursery can go to the bond for some reimbursement.

The bond covers only like $10,000 worth.

Rarely do bonds come into play, and half the time, the poor businessman has caused so many people to run for the bond money, that half of them get nothing and the early birds got the worm.
