			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Estate agent marketing is very important. If you want to sell the property on your books fast you need to market them in the best way possible. The longer a house is on the market the lower the offers from buyers will be. This will generate less profit for you and the buyer.</p>
<p>Estate agents make heavy use of printed promotional tools such as flyers and leaflets to promote the houses they have available. This is because estate agent leaflets are an ideal way to give property details to passing trade. They can also be made into marketing packs or sent out in the post to people who have registered their interest in a certain type of property.</p>
<p>A successful estate agent will invest heavily in marketing as the more people that know about your properties the quicker you will make a sale. Quite often when people are looking to sell a house they register with a number of estate agents hoping to make the sale process quicker. By using <a title="printed leaflets" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk">printed leaflets</a> with nice images of the properties you could make a bigger impact than your competitors winning the sale.</p>
<p>Estate agents not only use printed services for selling. Letters are always used to communicate with clients and confirm contracts. There is a lot of paper work when selling or buying a home with a lot of written communication. Using letter headed paper will portray a professional image.</p>
<p>Because estate agents are such heavy users of printing services Print Republic have come up with some fantastic printing packs for estate agents to really get your marketing off to a great start. Choose from one of the free designed templates and pick the right marketing pack and we will get started straight away.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leaflet printing will help to promote your business to your potential customers. Leaflets are most effective when you create a <a title="printed leaflet" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk"><strong>printed leaflet</strong></a> which is professional and leaves a good lasting impression on anyone who picks it up. You really want your printed leaflets to stand out to people who see them so they do not just walk on by but pick it up and keep it.</p>
<p>This is why the size of your printed leaflet is an important factor. Your leaflets need to be able to fit in your customer’s purse or pocket. Equally you may have your staff distributing leaflets in the street; these leaflets need to be a handy size. Needless to say you don’t want to be standing there with a huge piece of paper in your hand; no one will take your leaflet.</p>
<p>Leaflet distribution is a great way to promote your services whether you hand out leaflets in the street, send them in the post, pop them into letterboxes, leave them in prominent places or insert them into magazines they have been a reliable form of printed marketing for many years.</p>
<p>Leaflet printing is so flexible it is a great way to reach a huge audience. You could print thousands of leaflets very cheap and mail them out to the whole country, even the world.</p>
<h2>What is the best way to get the most from your lealfet printing?</h2>
<p>Designing a <strong>printed leaflet</strong> can be a tricky job a lot of thought must go into the process if you want to create an impact. You have a small space in which you need to get your message across. You can print double sided leaflets but you need to make sure your leaflets make sense on both sides. This is because if someone picks up your printed leaflet and starts reading on the second side it might not make a whole lot of sense.</p>
<p>If you are not sure where to begin when printing leaflets you could use a professional designer. Our leaflet designers have lots of experience because they have designed hundreds of leaflets for a range of different sectors or professions. So if you want your printed leaflets to work get a professional design it can make a big difference to your conversion rate.</p>
<p>Leaflet printing is a great way to promote your business if done correctly. If this is the first time you have done leaflet printing why not test a couple of designs? One might work better than the other, then next time you know which ones to print again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all of those clubs and bars out there that are looking at flyers the most notable flyer that has been around forever and is still going strong are the promotional <strong>A6 flyers</strong>. The size is 148mm x 105mm and it looks roughly the size and shape of a postcard and it has a proven track record for being used as club flyers.</p>
<p><strong>Why A6?</strong></p>
<p>Long gone are the days when you would be walking down the street and someone gives you a large piece of A4 paper! The abyss that is a woman’s handbag simply gobbles up huge leaflets and flyers and the printed A6 flyer is far more user-friendly.</p>
<p>The <strong>A6 printed flyers</strong> are the choice of today and they make the perfect size to be handing out in the streets or sitting in someone’s ‘please take one’ pile. They are too big to disappear into the back of a purse or wallet yet too small to be a pain to carry around.</p>
<p><strong>What to include?</strong></p>
<p>What is included on <a title="club flyer" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk"><strong>club flyers</strong></a> also makes a huge difference. You can choose from a variety of different styles for your <strong>A6 printed flyers</strong> and it all depends on the event you are organising for the design or captions that you use.</p>
<p>Promotional <strong>A6 flyers</strong> can hold a wealth of information on them from your address, telephone number, website and many more informative details but clubbers are looking for a reason to keep the flyer and you should give them one.</p>
<ul>
<li>Special      discounted drinks promotions are always a sure fire bet and keeps you in      the forefront of the customers mind.</li>
<li>Offering      discount coupons for entrance fees to a nightclub venue is a great way to      keep the customer focused on your place.</li>
</ul>
<p>Make sure you use the best size as well as a good design to ensure your flyers are enticing…</p>
<p>If you are running a club night get some <strong>A6 printed flyers</strong> to promote the event and make it the best party night ever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Premium business cards</strong> &#8211; While there is no denying the force of nature that is social networking, no form of advertising rivals the simplicity, low cost and ease of advertising via business cards. The trend of tweeting about your services and creating groups and pages about your products is sweeping the world and so many people are getting wrapped up in the social networking frenzy simple and somewhat old fashioned forms of promoting a business are being overlooked.</p>
<p><strong>Quality business cards </strong>may sound like something from the Stone Age but up until the networking boom on the Internet; they were considered to be<em> the</em> way to spread the word about any business. Nothing has changed and simply because there are new methods of advertising available to us it should not mean we overlook the old tried and tested ones. It would be like never having fish and chips again just because you can afford to have caviar and champagne? If both work for you then why drop one?</p>
<p>Twittering about your business should not be done in place of using <a title="business card printing" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk/businesscards"><strong>quality business cards</strong></a> or vice versa but social networking should work alongside the more traditional ways of advertising such as flyers, leaflets and, of course, the trusty business cards! You can’t tweet to someone you meet in a supermarket and if you rely solely on social media to advertise you will miss out on a whole other portion of potential customers. <strong>Premium business cards </strong>can be used at any time, in any situation (avoiding natural disaster zones, funerals and accident sites, which should go without saying) in any place unlike social networking that has to be done at a time you have access to the internet.</p>
<p>Business cards are the crème de la crème way for handing out your contact information and should not be buried under a load of tweet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The recession has hit many small businesses hard and a quell in customer numbers in the restaurant industry has made the need for well-designed <strong>business leaflets</strong> more intense. A good flyer or leaflet can turn a flagging business around and with competition stiff and many companies struggling in the tough financial clime; the quality of the design and the low cost of the printing are vital. Too many people in business make the fatal mistake of thinking that <strong>printing flyers</strong> will increase business costs and yield little return but with a good deal on your <a href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk">printing services</a> that doesn’t see quality thrown to one side you can make a massive return.</p>
<p>It is important to make sure quality is not substituted for a good deal as when someone handles you <strong>promotional leaflets</strong> they will form a sub-conscious opinion of your business. If the leaflets feel good to the touch, i.e. smooth and clean, they will automatically assume your business is worth checking out, without really being aware of why. All this before they have even read the leaflet itself!</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Business leaflets </strong>speak volumes about your business and without them you have less chance of alluring tentative customers into your once thriving eatery. Make sure they look and feel professional by considering three crucial points:</p>
<p>1)   Make your printed leaflet retainable by ensuring potential customers will not throw it away and forget you by adding a discount or freebie.</p>
<p>2)   Create an action point by including phone numbers, website address and dates for forthcoming events.</p>
<p>3)   Add some urgency. Set a deadline to get fast results by providing offers that go out of date or are only available on a particular day of the week.</p>
<p>Hunt around for a good deal and don’t think quality has to be forgone for a good price and you will soon have people queuing outside the door for a seat at your restaurant. If you are looking for <strong>printed leaflets</strong> to promote your restaurant fill out a quote request to the right to get a great deal.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being consistent with <strong>professional business cards</strong> in their design and appearance is hugely important; including your branding throughout is just as essential and too often overlooked. Many people understand the advertising skills of the business card but knowing how important it is and actually creating a decent design are two totally different things. Customising everything that you use for advertising is the basic rule of thumb and if you follow this as a guideline for all of your marketing then you are likely to succeed; unless of course you are branding a chocolate teapot as the next best thing.</p>
<p>Your brand should always appear on everything. Letter headed paper, <strong>professional business cards</strong>, flyers, leaflets, the signature in an email; they should all include your company logo and ideally in the same place. i.e. top right hand corner. Being consistent in business with something as small, easy and as seemingly obvious as branding and customising speaks volumes about your professionalism and it almost works as a subconscious advertising tool as your customers will not necessarily notice the consistency of your branding but they <em>will </em>notice if it is not consistent.</p>
<p>A personalised appearance of <a title="quality business cards" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk">quality business cards</a><strong> </strong>is effective but it is important to avoid overcrowding on a business card. Simple and clean designs give a professional air and make sure that your cards are readable and concise as well as including the basic information. i.e. name, contact details, business type. It is easy to use your own graphics and a preview of your design, if completed online through a professional company, can be viewed before it goes to print. You can also tweak them and play with the design until you are happy with it and as long as you include your company logo and name throughout all of your marketing techniques; you should be able to create an unbeatable advertising campaign.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for new <strong>luxury business cards</strong> then ensuring your design will be effective is crucial to getting it right. The most important element of your visual business identity is a business card as it is the primary thing that people see about your business when they first meet you. Having something unique about your design will ensure that people remember you and your business offerings and using a twist on a traditional design can be hugely effective. When you arrive to a social event or a conference all of the veteran business people attending will understand the importance of networking as a means of advertising and great business cards are good but different business cards are even better.</p>
<p>Having a design that stands out is the key to owning the <strong>best business cards</strong> so be witty if your business allows you to be. If your business has a serious theme to it then try a dry sense of humour with your slogan or create a design that is made from a different material than card. You can make your business cards stand out with funky lettering, colourful backgrounds, a funny slogan and using both sides of the cards is also the best way to get all the information on that might be needed.</p>
<p>A map on the reverse side is common so if you want to include a map why not have it fold out from the side? The <strong>best <a title="business card printing" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk">business cards</a></strong> are innovative so link the theme of your business with an unusual idea. It is simple to make the most uninteresting products or services seem more inviting with luxury business cards. If you run a small garden centre create a business card in the shape of a seed packet and pace some free seed samples inside.</p>
<p><strong>Luxury business cards</strong> come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so branch out from the traditional business cards for the most success!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a wide variety of designs and styles of <strong>promotional leaflets</strong> out there with many promising you the world, but how many actually deliver what they offer and how important is it to actually back your promises up? There is only one answer to this; VERY! There is nothing worse than seeing a leaflet all jazzed up to the nines advertising something that really gets your juices flowing to make your way there only to be turned away by the 18-year-old staff member who look like they wouldn’t care anymore if you turned up with bells on claiming they don’t know how to put your voucher through the till so you can’t use it!</p>
<p><strong>Business leaflets</strong> must only advertise what you are willing to actually provide or you risk alienating potential customers before they have a chance to be a customer! This happened recently with a famous sandwich chain when they advertised the chance for readers of a newspaper to get a £2 breakfast sub for only 40p. Sounds great, right? Wrong, because the offer proved to be so popular one branch got so fed up with locals queuing out of the door with their coupons that they started to turn people away.</p>
<p>Not a great experience if you are on a lunch break and have spent 30 minutes standing in a busy queue with your newspaper coupon. In fact, I will never use this particular branch again out of principle and maybe a touch of pride. <a title="promotional leaflets" href="http://www.printrepublic.co.uk"><strong>Promotional leaflets</strong></a> should only promote a service or product that you are able to deliver so if you can’t give away 40p subs for breakfast do not claim that you can! <strong>Business leaflets</strong> are an ideal way to advertise, just make sure that what you are advertising is genuine as getting people through the door is pointless if when they walk out they want to slam it in your face!</p>
<p>If you are looking for promotional leaflets for your business contact Print Republic today we can help you from design concept through to printing of your leaflets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well designed business cards are the only way to ensure <strong>quality business cards</strong>! Good quality is not all about an impressive finish or fancy text; it is also about how successful they are in regards to how many avoid getting thrown straight into the bin! Good designs mean taking the time to do some research into what works and what doesn’t in the world of business cards.</p>
<p>Firstly it is essential that you think about some of the basics before moving onto the more in-depth parts. <strong>Professional business cards</strong> must include the following points:</p>
<ol>
<li>The perfect size – Choosing      a size that suits most wallets and purses makes your cards appealing to      the majority. Something that all business owners will understand the      importance of.</li>
<li>The right background      colour – Make sure the colour you choose is neither too dull nor too      flashy unless of course it is relevant to your business type. i.e. There      is no need for a funeral director to have a bright orange card but a private      nanny can use rainbow colours. It is all about thinking about your target      audience and designing business card that portrays the correct image.</li>
<li>What information to      include – Make sure the essentials are all on there. i.e. Business name, description, your name, business address, website, telephone      number and email address.</li>
<li>Simplicity reaps success –      <strong>Quality business cards</strong> are simple and easy to understand and read      so it is obvious what your business is from reading just a few words. Busy      people want to find contact details ASAP so keep them clear and concise.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you wish to include further details about your business then you should think about designing some flyers or leaflets to further promote your business.
