Have you ever seen an ad for Facebook? Everyone knows who they are but I've never seen them advertise anywhere. I've never seen a TV ad, heard a radio ad, seen a print ad, seen a billboard or even a custom poster advertising Facebook and it's one of the biggest companies in the world. The only thing I've seen is a full color Tri Fold Brochure delivered by of all things snail mail!

Are you REALLY saving money doing it all yourself?

It's so easy to find low cost print resources on the internet these days. Some simple printed items have become virtual commodities. Of course, items like business cards and postcards really are quite simple, in and of themselves. Even more complex products like brochures, flyers, and sell sheets, even multi page catalogs -- there are plenty of online print shops touting the lowest prices on many of these items. If you know exactly what you want, and can design it yourself, a quick web search will find you lots of choices -- way too many.
