When businesses (especially small businesses) market their products and services, tri-fold brochures are and will remain a popular choice. They are for easy to give and to receive, effective in organizing your content into small, precise chunks of content, and they're inexpensive to create (particularly if you can make them yourself.) In a previous post about tri-fold brochures, I referenced an article that I found a long time ago that details how to create one in Microsoft Word when desktop publishing software (like Adobe Pagemaker or Microsoft Publisher) is not available.
This week, I found another article on tri-fold brochures, only this time it gives pointers on how to properly design it. It also references a sample tri-fold brochure template that you can download, along with several other links to get more help on them. Though this article focuses on "educational" brochures, the suggestions given can still be applied on all types of brochures.
