A brochure is a great and very effective marketing tool that will introduce both you and your business establishment to all your target clients and customers in the market. This tool also gives you a good opportunity to come up with a sale down the line or give a solid reminder approach for all your target clients and customers, which most of them can use as reference long after your advertising period is done. Unlike other print materials such as the pamphlet, which is unable to make a sale most of the time, your brochure will make sure that you close a sale or two.
To give you and especially your business establishment a fighting chance in the business world, it is a must for you be well prepared with an insightful as well as an attractive and interesting brochure design. In addition, it is also a must to put together reliable brochures that are accessible and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. For your convenience, below are some of the advices that you can consider on how you can maximize the success of your business establishment with the aid of this effective marketing material.
• Custom folds will usually make your print material stand out against your competition. Keep in mind that making a fold will add excitement as well as suspense to all the details and information being provided in your print materials. For example, a rolled fold is a good and effective approach to present information or details in a well structured manner. As the rolled area unwraps, your clients and customers will see one section at a stretch. This is a very good when what you aim for is to leave a long lasting and memorable impact to your customers. A tri fold, on the other hand, is among the most common kind of fold used today. It is normally an 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper materials, either letter folded, or Z folded, so that it is going to fit onto a standard envelope.
• There are several paper stocks or material options for making a good brochure. The standard paper stocks are cost savings; however, they are the ones that have the tendency to make for an uninteresting print job. You can always try using modified coatings on your paper materials for a completely original or unique presentation. And also, if you are environmentally attached, you can also consider a paper material that is recycled as well as uncoated. This process will let you express your environmental concern and obligation while presenting a distinctive design.
• Last but not the least, brochure printing displays is considered as one of the most disregarded tools in business gatherings such as trade shows, meetings, and conferences. Big business establishments as well as small business retailers are very much skilled in making interesting and attention-grabbing point of displays, yet most of them are not able to go beyond that idea. When done effectively, your display is the best tool for you to effectively distribute all the details and ideas you need to dispense, especially your business message to get your clients and customers informed of your business undertakings. So, aim for a good point of display to boost up your marketing campaign without spending a lot of your marketing dollars.
This writing provides information and tips to the readers about how to promote your business effectively by strong and winning brochures.

Putting Together A Great Promo Kit For Your Dealers
Your dealers' ability to sell your product begins with you. Here are a few tips on how to make a high-quality promotion kit to make your dealers' job a little easier.
1.Cover Letter. You will need to introduce your business and services somehow, and creating a succinct and well-written cover letter is the first thing you will want to pay attention to. If the thought of writing this yourself makes you nervous, don't sweat it. There are many professional copywriters out there who have done this kind of thing numerous times and can have a project like this done in a day or so. If you decide to tackle it yourself, just keep in mind that you will want to keep the industry jargon to a minimum, instead focusing on describing what your product or service intends to provide for your customers. Focus on uniqueness, and hitting the points that you think will attract your intended niche.
2.Price List. Make it easy for your dealers to make it easy for their customers to buy. There are many ways your price list can be presented, but to exert some control over the process, one thing to keep in mind is that you'll want to keep it as clean, clear, and permanent-looking as possible, without a lot of scratched-out numbers, changes, and notes. So send out new lists to your dealers as soon as they are available.
3.Selling Guide. Give your affiliates as much information as you can. Whatever has worked for you in the past as selling points, put them on paper, put them together in a nicely bound booklet, and let your sales force use these same items to increase their sales. Things you will want to include are:
Product features and (especially) benefits.
Tips on exactly what to say when selling and advertising your product.
Competitive cross reference charts: These help your sales force see in black and white why your product is superior, and make great hand-outs for them to give to customers as well.
4. Informational CD's and DVD's can be a big help these days, and are relatively cheap to manufacture as well. Some things you might want to include on these discs are:
High resolution images of your product and company logo.
Product specs such as features and benefits, model and item numbers, usage directions, list price and discounts, and the same or similar copy as you might have in your catalog or website.
Promotions such as Q2 and Q3 customer offers and such things as gift cards, as well as any dealer spiffs for specific items or sales goals.
Editable Flyers in a commonly used program such as Indesign or Pagemaker.
Accessory images of your product in use.
Extra Copy, such as a selection guide so that you dealer can help his or her customers find the right product for their needs; and educational guides for any of your products that may need an extra bit of explanation.
Editable Ads, such as any that have appeared in print, or that your dealer may want to print locally in the future. Again, try and use a publishing program that your dealers are likely to have, or can get relatively inexpensively.

i was wondering should i book the train now or wait until iam in italy to get a ticket from Milan to Modena?
How are the train stations in italy easy to navigate and what about language will i be able to get along ok with knowing very little Italian?
i have been looking at trenitalia.com and raileurope.com but just wanted to get a opinion...
Thank you for your help, im trying to finish up all the details for my trip, so im just a little nervous/excited.
The train stations here are pretty easy to get around in. In the larger train stations, there are ticket machines with an English language option for the interface where you can buy your ticket. Most people at the ticket windows can also deal with you in English. It's not very difficult to buy a ticket in Italian though.
You really don't need to buy tickets a long time in advance here. The only advantage is that on some higher speed trains the on-line price is a little cheaper, but you'll still either need an Italian address to have the ticket delivered or go to the station and retrieve the ticket from one of the machines using the code you get when you make the purchase. You may also be able to get the Amica fare which is a discount offered on some Intercity, Eurostar, and Alta Velocità trains. You have to buy the ticket 1 to 60 days in advance of the trip, but you don't have to make the purchase on-line. Personally, I would wait to buy the ticket since it gives you more flexibility on deciding exactly which train you want to take.
I never took the time to write this story down, so now that I am getting an itch for adventure again I figured I would recount my last great motoring adventure. It involved several countries, my cousin, and a Peugeot.
The Route:
A few years back I got tired of the rat race, the everyday of being a drone in an office and while I loved the job and the industry, I needed some time off. I was making good money working as the Special Projects Director for a large restoration parts company here in Southern California. However, after four years it was time for a monumental vacation. So, I quit my job, kissed my fiancée (now wife) good bye, and set off for Europe. With little more than a rough plan, a road map, and a hastily arranged short term lease with Peugeot's "Open Europe" program, I landed in London to meet my younger cousin Nathan that had recently finished a exchange student program in the UK and was not excited about coming home right away.
I spent a few days in London while we made arrangments to get to souther France where our new Peugeot was to be delivered. London is an amazing city so much history, from the Romans, to the Second World War every corner of London offers a glimpse of times lost, while the ultra modern buildings like the Gherkin give a foretaste of things to come. Coming from the Los Angeles area where everything is rebuilt about every 20 years it was interesting to see the old buildings of London still pockmarked from the German bombs. I could go on and on about the British Library, Tower of London, etc… but this is a story about motoring so back to that. We had decided to pick up our sparkling new Peugeot 206sw in Montpellier, in the south of France and after a quick flight on Ryan Air for around $50 we were in sunny Southern France.
This was a very good idea as there is nowhere on earth I could imagine being more beautiful than the French Riviera…Italy would prove me wrong. Landing in France, we get the typical customs hold ups, and make a phone call to the Peugeot Open Europe contact that was meeting us with the car. A very polite young man walked us to the car; I giving Nathan a very sinister look confirmed with the Peugeot representative that the lease included "unlimited mileage" he nodded yes, I think he knew that the resale on this car would be slightly dented by the amount of miles we were going to put on the car. In Europe, I had discovered the average car travels less than 8,000 kilometers a year that is just under 5,000 miles a year. In California my home state we drive on average 15,000 miles a year, that over 24,000 kilometers. Nathan and I had laid out an ambitious route that would allow us to cover almost 18,000 kilometers in just 21 days, seeing everything Europe had to offer before running out of money and retreating back to London.
We were off, since Nathan had been living in London and had done a bit of traveling in Europe already, so I had him make our arrangements for the first night. We had decided to head right to Barcelona (Spain), and when we got their, a street fair was going on, the road signs were mounted on the sides of the buildings far out of view, the Peugeot is hardly able to move amongst all the revelers crowding the streets. The hotel Nathan had selected has a strange Arabic sounding name for being in Spain, but right now, I am wondering why the car feels splashy. I can tell…we have a flat, there is nowhere to park, we don't speak Spanish, and we can't even find this hotel. I see a parking garage and pull in. A very nice parking attendant points us to a location where we can park for 12 Euros for 24 hours, he even pulls a floor jack out and helps us change a tire, perhaps Spain is a civilized country after all.
Nathan is attempting to find out where the hotel is (it's a hostel), and by the grace of God it was just a few blocks away, we left our car in the parking garage and walked a few blocks following a map drawn up by the parking attendant. As we made our way to the hostel, I started to notice that many of the signs were in Arabic, and that men in traditional Arab clothing were standing in the doorways looking cross at us. The streets started to look worse and worse, and the hotel did not look much better. We checked in and we are shown to what the man at the front desk called rooms. "Nathan, where the hell did you find this place" I said, "booked it online" he replied, "it looked nice". Our "rooms" were metal boxes stacked three high with a ladder, a curtain, a mattress (using that term lightly), and a small lockable box. "We are paying to go to prison," I said to Nathan who laughed. I was convinced we would be killed, or at least robbed. Later on that night Nathan see's a man peering into my box, and tells him to take a hike. The next morning we discovered that Nathan's alarm clock had stolen…we packed, went back to the car and dropped off our bags, and wondered around Barcelona. It is a painfully beautiful city, and I could not help to snap away, at this point in my life I was still an aspiring photographer. You could tell the photos that Nathan took with me in them because they are not in focus, or the apature is set wrong. We went to seek out an internet café, and a real café for some e-mail and breakfast, what was really amazing is the shear amount of porn being sold out of special porn newsstands. The city market is made up of small booths, and every other one is selling porn. I was done with Spain, while I am sure there is much to see and do, how good could it be from a country that builds the SEAT Alhambra.
Back on the road and in my adopted home country of France I feel much better, I understand more of the language, and the food is amazing and cheap. Coming from the U.S. I was honestly expecting the French people to attempt to kill me every chance they got since we only hear stories of the rude French. But I found them to be some of themost engaging, friendly, and patient people on earth. The secret is to at least attempt to communicate as best you can in French and be respectful that their language, it is a source of pride for them, demanding that they speak English is rude and we saw plenty of American's (mostly with fanny packs) getting upset at people at restaurants, hotels, and bars because they did not speak English. News flash you're not in an English speaking country. As we passed through France on the way to Italy, I discovered my place. It is the place I would pick up and move to if given the opportunity in a hear beat, taking the wife and dogs along with me. This place is Cassis in Southern France; I would move to Cassis right now, if only I could find a way.
In Monaco I was in car lovers heaven, pulling up to a light the car in front of me is a Zonda, next to me a vintage Ferrari, and behind me a Bentley Continental. I however was behind the wheel of a mighty Peugeot. Now I had owned a Peugeot 405 here in the US and loved the car, it was fast, clean, reliable, and one of the best handling front wheel drive cars I have ever owned. I had been dreaming of owning a 206 for a daily driver for years, and even looked into buying one in Mexico and bringing it to the US, however, the smog and safety Nazis will not allow a French car in the US…yet we can buy a Daewoo??? The car we picked out was a manual, gas powered wagon, we figured we may not always be able to get a hotel so at least the station wagon would allow us to sleep in the car in our sleeping bags, we did do this a few nights, but we did it towards the end of the trip in the snow, not a good idea…. We passed into Italy and Nathan was excited and he had a long list of things we wanted to see from Pisa to Pompeii so we had a long drive ahead of us. We had made a deal that we would stay off the main roads, the car being a manual I had to drive the entire trip, but I did not mind much. I attempted while in Italy to teach Nathan stick shift driving, but it did not go well, and we could not afford to replace the clutch so I contunied to drive.
We drove through Rome and having learned our lesson in Barcelona found a nice quite village with a train station outside of the city parking was free and it only cost 2 Euros to ride the train into the city round trip. The advantage to having a car is you don't have to carry your gear with you. Just take what you need and lock the rest up in the trunk. Words cannot describe the city of Rome, unless you have seen it, you can't even comprehend the scale of it all. Spending the entire day in Rome was amazing, but there was much more to see, we hopped a train and got back to the car, where we set off south towards Pisa to see the leaning tower then on to Pompeii. Italy is much like Southern California many times while driving along the coast you could believe that you were driving along the Pacific Coast Highway, many of the similar plants, the only major difference is the buildings are a little older, and the food is slightly better.
The food is the best part of Europe they have the small café or street food down to an art, New York has hotdogs, L.A. as Tacos, but you can find amazing homemade treats any little town in Europe. Having driven down the coast of Italy as far south as Pompeii, we decided to take a road less traveled up the dead center of the country and head back towards France. The middle of Italy is much like the middle of America, farmland, ranches, open spaces, but unlike the Midwest of America, Italy's interior is dramatic. Cities like Orvieto, Siena, Florence, and Turin are found here, and each has an amazing story and it's own unique architecture and culture.
Gas stations in each country are different some have no attendants at all and have a strange gate system you have to use to get in, others are just closed on Sundays and good luck finding gas anywhere else, also it is very expensive, so if you are planning a European motoring getaway, bring lots and lots of extra cash. As we powered north towards Modena, I could feel the Ferrari's calling me, and upon arriving I was not disappointed, they were everywhere, it was like being at the old Crystal Cove event in Malibu, but every day…there are also a lot of odd cars roaming the road, cars that make my classic MINI look like a massive SUV. (See photo)
Now there is a massive tunnel that connects Italy and France through the alps, however, it costs a lot of money to go through so we decided that we would attack the alps head on; in winter, in a Peugeot. The Italian side was cleared, but after turning a corner that took us to the French side of the mountain, we discovered that the French road workers did not feel like clearing the road from what we could tell, ever. We were firmly stuck, no chains, no cell phone, no village nearby…. But the Eagle Scout in me kicked in and I did have a small pocket knife and was able to cut some branches from a tree to stuff under the front wheels to get some traction. With Nathan pushing, I gunned it, only to get out, and hit ice, the car did some interesting maneuvers and came to rest about 20 feet down the road. So after almost dying in the snow at the top of the alps, we decided to take the tunnel.
Back on our adopted home soil, we headed north towards Paris, Le Mans, and the invasion beaches. We first headed west towards Le Mans, and then on to Bayeux, where we went to see the Bayeux tapestry. From there we drove to the invasion beaches and took some time to reflect upon the sheer size of them, just how far it was to make it to any form of cover, our great grandfather fought in the pacific and Nathan and I both reflected on the bravery that those men had to step off those boats. After a visit to the American cemetery to pay our respects we loaded up and set off for Paris. Having forgotten our lesson from Barcelona, we drove into Paris. Paris is everything they say it is and more, it is one of the worst cities on earth to drive. I have driven in some strange parts of the world Managua and Jakarta come to mind, and they were cakewalks when compared to Paris. Trust me; drive in Paris only if you have a good GPS, good knowledge of written French, and very good reflexes.
We were running out of time, we had to have the car in Belgium within a week so we headed or Germany, the only country with speed limits posted for army tanks. Passing through the German wine country, I have never seen grapes grown on hills like this before, it was a breath taking sight to see vineyards snaking their way on mountainsides, with small monorails that the farmers ride to collect their harvest. Pushing into the Germany, we discovered that they really do like David Hasselhoff, and we were greeted by a massive billboard promoting a drink of some kind. We soon discovered a gun/liquor/fireworks store in a small town and that has to be the best store ever, and the fact that beer is sold in the soda machines, made Germany one of our favorite countries.
Our little Peugeot was doing well as we cracked the 15,000-kilometer mark. We wanted to see the bridges from operation Market Garden so we went to the Netherlands, then pushed on to Belgium where we had to visit "Auto World" a massive museum that has just about every type of car you can imagine, as well as war museum that has items from Roman times to current. We found a nice little hotel, and spent the night, I was exhaust having just driven just over 17,800 kilometers, we had done it, came to see it all in a whirlwind and we did it averaging over 800 kilometers a day (526 miles), some days we would drive well into the night and sleep in the car just to make sure we could get to the next stop on our map. If I were to go back I would do it differently spend more time relaxing, and less time driving to every historically significant spot on the map, but I would not change one thing about this trip, because, we discovered so much fun.

Warrior of the Light: A Manual is an inspirational companion to The Alchemist, an international bestseller that has beguiled millions of readers around the world. Every short passage invites us to live out our dreams, to embrace the uncertainty of life, a
Written by Trevor Bryce, one of the world`s leading experts on the Hittites, this book charts the rise and fall of a warrior people famed for their ferocity, who built an empire which stretched from Mesopotamia to Syria and Palestine. Regarded as barbarians by the Egyptians, for a hundred years the Hittites fought a draining war against the Egyptians - the climax of which saw the Hittites defeated and their 400-year-old empire destroyed at Qadesh.Thought to have invented iron, used to forge their weapons, and known for pioneering a revolutionary three-man chariot system, Bryce details the day-to-day lives of Hittite warriors. He examines their training, equipment, tactics, and motivations, as well as their unique attitude to religion which saw them adopt the gods of the people they conquered. The inclusion of a Hittite manual which describes, in detail, the training of horses and the warriors that rode them in battle, as well as original full color illustrations make this book a fascinating and enlightening addition to an often ignored subject.
In the 16th Century, Japan was a land wrought by the climactic conclusion of the centuries-old civil wars fought by the samurai. The samurai is an elite class of the society and they are warriors ruling their own local domains with a militarized point of reference. Much of their decisions, therefore, are bent on the intention of waging war. For centuries, many clans continue to fight their way towards the title of supreme dictatorship (Shogun) and as one clan emerged victorious, another would competent ruler somewhere within the land would destroy the harmonious government of the incumbent leader and, through war, seeks a way to usurp the title of supreme dictatorship. This has been the ultimate motivation for most people of the samurai class. Despite their fairly advanced civilization in Asia around those times, Japan was pretty much a barbaric place that considers violence an everyday reality. Of all the samurai men and women chronicled in Japan's history, none was as obscure and as fascinating as Miyamoto Musashi, the famed Sword Saint and the country's most beloved martial artist.
Miyamoto Musashi was born Shinmen Takezo of Harima Province. There have been many theories concerning the changing of his name as much as the detailed transformation of his life; and one of the most compelling and romantic versions are taken from Eiji Yoshikawa's novel. However, long before the name Miyamoto Musashi ever became known, it was first documented during his childhood that he defeated a fencing instructor and beaten the latter to death. That incident marked the first evidence of the martial arts genius in the making, a gift that will let his name endure the test of time. As a teenager, Shinmen Takezo joined Japan's last civil war before the 19th Century known as The Battle of Sekigahara. He was a common foot soldier serving under the banner of the incumbent government that was about to be defeated by the more powerful usurper. They were the Tokugawa Clan, the family destined to rule Japan in peace and harmony for the next 300 years. Shinmen Takezo, despite his invincibility with the sword, faces impossible odds when his entire army was being massacred and routed towards annihilation.
It was believed that by the end of the war Shinmen Takezo lived for nearly a decade in the wilderness, far from civilization where his notoriety was noticed. Taking a warrior out of the war was one thing, because as long as there is war, there is a reason for his existence. But taking the war out of the warrior is an entirely different story. Shinmen knows that in these times of peace; he will be forced to live in the world where his skill with the sword, the one gift he ever had, will be deemed meaningless. That is something he could never live with. He was destined for obscurity for he has forfeited his hopes for fame and glory along with his samurai title by the time his army was defeated in war. For nearly a decade, he spent all day perfecting his skills, pausing only to eat and sleep. By the time he decided to get out of the wilderness and return to civilization, he appeared in the public more of a half-beast than a man. He was unkempt nearly to a point of disfigurement where no person would find him respectable at first glance. In those times he challenged the famous Yoshioka Fencing School in Kyoto and eventually defeated the two brothers, grand masters who carried the school's family tradition. In these times, he was already known as Miyamoto Musashi.
Musashi gained a cataclysmic degree of attention after defeating the most prestigious martial arts school in Japan. In these times every martial artist wanted a piece of him, seeking to destroy him. He has become a pedestal of ultimate glory for all martial artists but as the times progress, his name has become as much as dreadful as his repugnant appearance. He has won over sixty duels with his unusual two-sword style called Nitten Ichi Ryu.
Eventually he was challenged by another very powerful swordsman named Kojiro Sasaki. Unlike Musashi, Kojiro represents what a samurai ought to be apart from being very skillful with the sword. Kojiro is as flamboyant as any nobleman and was reputedly handsome, probably the Brad Pitt of his society wherein every woman would swoon over the sight of him. He was everything a man might have aspired and emulated. But all of that changed when Miyamoto Musashi defeated him in their epic clash. Kojiro died, along with the stereotypes of what a samurai and martial artist ought to be. Musashi's duel with Kojiro marked the end of his career in death match duels. It opened a new chapter in his life where students sought to learn his fighting techniques, which under his supervision, was then taught to them by his adopted son Iori. He devoted the rest of his life writing his famous martial arts manual, The Book of Five Rings. It is the culmination of all his methods and lifetime of learning where his philosophies were derived.
What made Miyamoto Musashi an iconic figure was that he changed Japan's perception of what a martial artist is. He was everything people never expected. He neither has political power, wealth, nor an army under his command. He is just but one man, with a skill of a thousand swordsman. For that, his name is as much an immortal in history as the rest of the Tokugawa dynasty and he has outlived everyone else in Japan. Like Achilles that dwarfed Agamemnon's reputation in the latter's era during the Trojan War; Miyamoto Musashi's name overshadows Tokugawa in the same way, enduring and more fascinating especially in these contemporary times.
