Printing has changed dramatically due to the offset of digital and short-run printing. Computers have allowed most printers to abandon the high setup charges of the past and allow the customer to determine the quantity of their order. There are still bulk order discounts but the good thing is that there are no minimums in most cases.
Now that you have an idea of what a media printed is the next step is establishing your budget. Your budget will depend on a few key factors: Quantity, Distribution, and Quality.
Another key factor, distribution, needs to be considered when thinking about your budget.
Will you be mailing your printed media?
How will you ultimately get them into the hands of prospective clients?
The quality of your printed media is the most important. Getting a quality should be your top priority. How does someone determine quality though?

Considering these three key factors can help in determining your budget before choosing a brochure printing company. Most printing companies will walk you through the steps and most have online ordering and design services.
Developing Content and Graphics Printing
The content and graphics of your print media are by far the most important part. When establishing an effective printed media it is essential to gather and establish all of your content and graphics before designing because any last minute content might contain errors. Most printers will give you a final proof to check over before any printing is done.
Before developing content ask yourself, what is this media for? Is it a sales piece, or a hand out, or one that needs to be mailed? With a purpose in mind you can develop the content and when doing so consider the services your provide, information about what you do, how you do it, and what are the benefits from what you offer.
All of your content should be persuasive, exude confidence in what you can offer, and convey a sense of quality and knowledge to the reader. If the reader feels you know what you are talking about then they will feel secure knowing that you can get the job done.
