Use Photos in Marketing Materials

An elderly woman opened her refrigerator one day and found a little bunny rabbit sitting inside.
"What do you think you're doing in my refrigerator?" she demanded.
"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?" replied the rabbit.
"Yeah; so what?"
"I'm just westing."

In This Issue Humor Case Study Links 800-779-0067		Use Photos in Marketing Materials If you're planning to create a brochure, website, flyer or any other marketing project, remember to use photos to create an eye-catching piece. Photos of people in action will make your printed piece attractive and attention-getting. Don't have photos on hand? Purchase a digital camera and learn to use it! I use a Pentax Digital Optio 550 and it takes beautiful photos. To find out more about this camera, click here. (Click here to see a few of the digital photos I've taken recently with my Pentax Optio 550.) Be sure to set your camera to take photos in the highest resolution possible to maximize the results in printed materials. Use a caption under each photo because captions are read many times before the actual materials. If you'd like 'stock photos,' do a search on Google for "royalty free stock photography."

		Case Study Challenge: Erica Erhardt wanted her wedding invitations, thank you notes and program bulletins to match her bridesmaids dresses to complete the elegant wedding she had planned. Solution: We designed customer wedding invitations complete with translucent overlay and ribbon, return cards, reception invitations, program bulletin and personalized thank you notes. A "logo" was designed using the bride and groom's initials that was used throughout the materials, giving the package a consistent, elegant look. From Erica: "We loved our invitations - and the whole package. It helped to make our day as special as we had planned. Thank you SO much!"
