Here is an inexpensive and easy promo item - Mini Note Book
These make great promo items because it's something people will use and most likely will toss in a purse rather than toss into a drawer or worse, the garbage. Give em something they will use and keep!
You will need:
Card stock paper.
Regular plain paper like copy paper.
Paper cutter and stapler.
I'm assuming that everyone has a drawing or photo program for this. :) I'm working with the page layout set in the portrait direction and I've got handy rulers on my program.
1. Draw 3 lines going across the page. These will be your cut lines. I choose a very pale color for these lines so they don't show up on the final product but I can still see them to cut. Of course once you are done with designing the whole page, you can delete these lines and use the ruler on a paper cutter, but leave them if you are using scissors.
2. Space the 3 lines 2 3/4" apart, going down the page.
3. Draw 1 line from the center mark at the 4 1/4" mark. This will be the fold line and will help you design just on the cover side.
4. Design the cover... make it fun! Don't have it be just an advertisement or look like a business card... dress it up. Toss on a few skulls, add a back ground or decorative boarder or maybe a good quote. But yes, be sure to include the URL to your shop or website!
5. Copy your design and paste it in all 4 sections on the right hand side only. PC users: I think your lingo is cut and paste or cut and insert. Check that your design is centered within the lines you drew.
6. At this point, you can remove all the lines and print on the card stock paper. I like to use a color card stock such as antique white.
7. Chop em all up. So, you get 4 covers with backing from 1 sheet. Cut up 2 plain paper sheets per cover, this will give each book 16 pages which is about all a stapler can get through.
8. Fold em all. Place the plain pages inside the cover/backing, close and staple as close to the edge as possible. A long time ago, I found some groovy colored staples. I'll try to find a link for them. And that's it.
