Printed Collateral Still Packs a Punch!
In an era dominated by screens and scrolling, it's easy to assume that printed collateral has gone the way of the brick phone and become obsolete. After all, why bother with brochures and flyers when you can reach your audience with just a few clicks? But hold on a minute – printed collateral still holds considerable value for businesses these days, and here’s why.
The origin and use of business cards
With all the new and updated ways of marketing your business in 2024, there is one old-school concept that will never go away: the humble business card. But where and when did business cards come into use as a way of networking and drumming up business?
X Marks the Spot: The Power of X
How many uses and meanings are there for X? from an unknown variable, such as the power of X in maths, or needing to spend $X, to the Roman numeral for 10, to meaning just for adults (X-rated), to red pen telling you your homework is wrong, and even a kiss at the end of a letter or text!
The phrase "X marks the spot" is a simple yet powerful expression that has captured our imagination for generations. It conjures images of treasure maps, where an X shows the location of hidden riches. But beyond adventure tales and pirate lore, the X can be used to denote incorrectness, such as when marking answers on a test, or can be used to make a selection, such as when casting a vote on a ballot. With local and state elections on the horizon, we got to wondering about the meaning of X (and not just in a flashback to high school maths way!).
The Power of Quality 300gsm Flyers in Marketing Your Business
In today's fast-paced digital age, it's easy to overlook the effectiveness of traditional marketing materials like flyers. However, high-quality 300gsm (grams per square metre) flyers remain a powerful tool for promoting your business. Here's why they can make a significant impact on your marketing strategy:
When cheap doesn't necessarily mean nasty!
For those of us in the know, the big C, in this case Corflute, is way more for less. The big thing about Corflute is the finished product is both durable and cheap – you see it regularly used as advertising, marketing or temporary signage - think sporting club sign on signs, election boards or bigger For Sale signs and construction site signage. We print from small to large sheets but why choose Corflute?

Conquering the C2K: A Wild Ride for a Worthy Cause
We’re off and racing, in just a few days, we'll be embarking on the ultimate cycling challenge in Australia—the C2K ride. The C2K ride is not for the faint of heart. It's an epic 780km journey that spans five Shires, stretching from the eastern to the western base of Cape York. This legendary ride has stood the test of time for an incredible 25 years. As avid adventurers and cycling enthusiasts, we couldn't resist the allure of this monumental event.
Would you let your children design your business logo?
Your potential customers decide if they would like to connect with your brand within a matter of minutes. If they don’t engage with your logo design, you may miss out completely on their business, regardless of how fantastic your offering is. A professional graphic designer knows what elements would attract prospective audiences to logos, and how to determine how consumers will rate your overall trustworthiness, reliability, and professionalism. Just as you understand the fundamental requirements within your business’ product and service range, proficient graphic designers understand and incorporate this knowledge into the planning stage.
Who gives a F…irst impression!?
Common sense should tell most people that how something is presented will influence the perception of those viewing it. Typically, why do lawyers wear suits, real estate agents drive upmarket cars, and young single people spend much time and money on appearance!?
Whether you are looking or not, people generally judge with their eyes. First impressions last, be it the daughter's new boyfriend or the restaurant menu!

Flyers and Brochures – do they work?
Did Kindle kill the humble book? No, and neither has digital killed print advertising! A flyer (generally a single unfolded sheet) or a brochure (usually a folded sheet) still have a place in many businesses today. Digital marketing works but flyers and brochures are still big sellers. Why?
Here’s our take, flyers and brochures get used in many ways for various businesses. They are a cheap way to advertise a special for a short time, especially to a targeted audience, such as show handouts, letterbox drops, PO Box inserts and compendiums.
