Like everyone else, I need to focus on how I spend my dollars. And that includes my own marketing. I needed a brochure. Some sort of leave behind after a networking event. Or something to introduce myself to new clients. And while there are some printers that can print one for you relatively inexpensively, I have an issue with the paper. But that's me. I always have issues with paper. It's one of my passions, and one that my professional organizer told me to stop buying until I started using some of the one's I already had. But that's another posting. This one is about MY brochure. I needed to get creative. Think outside the box. (I still don't like that expression). But the truth is, I needed something different. Low costs, creative, that printed well. Running anything off my printer is like throwing away money. So what did I do? I upload six photos on the Walgreens and CVS website. I picked them up an hour later. At Walgreens. CVS had no record despite the three confirmation emails. I came home and bound them. Total time: Designing, Driving, Production: 5 hours. The result: priceless. No, not really. 66 cents.

This only looks expensive
