There is a lot of talk on here about business cards flyers etc but has anyone ever tried a more professional way of putting your business across.
I was going over the Microsoft web site the other month and went into there templates link then found a couple of links to brochures and with matching business cards.
These both together can be fairly expensive so why not make your own, edit you’re wording add some pictures print off what you need to keep cost down.
I have done some and results are not bad.
Let me know what you think if
Cheers Alan

I agree totally I don’t like it when people come on here, have a look around take bits to be published for there own financial gain though. The people who answer questions do so of their own free time free of charge and not to be exploited does not seem right to me. What do I know I am just a window Cleaner

They have every bit of software you could think of and more !

I would  just like to say thanks to everyone for their Tips & Helpfull information i will be starting up my own business with my brother soon.

I've heard a myth about window cleaners getting offerd a bit of hows your father on the side, is this true ?
