Step #5 – DISTRIBUTE

Once the organization finalizes a mailing list, mailing companies can save time. Mail services are useful for labeling and mailing brochures and other mailed materials, or the employees of an organization can do it the selves. All of these decisions depend on time and budget!

Brochure Templates

The following pages contain samples of the two template brochures found on the CD- ROM accompanying this manual. A template is a computer document with an existing graphic layout, which allows for quick and easy production of materials. In this case, the graphics and the format have been designed for two tri-fold brochures.

TO USE THE TEMPLATES:

  1. Locate the template on the accompanying CD-ROM.
  2. Double click on the icon "Brochure 1" or "Brochure 2".
  3. When the file opens, all graphics will be displayed on the computer screen.
  4. Highlight the text currently found on the brochure. Delete the existing text, and add appropriate text for the organization being promoted.
  5. Repeat for each section.
  6. Use the program's formatting options to change font size and style.
  7. When finished, select "Save As" from the "File" tab on the toolbar. Rename the brochure.
  8. By choosing "Save As" instead of "Save", the original template can be maintained for future use.
