Feeling uninspired by your current print marketing materials? If you are, then how do you think your customers and prospects feel? Here are five fresh ways to update your graphic and print design to keep it eye-catching and engaging.

Out with the trifold, in with the gate-fold!
Trifold brochures are a dime a dozen, which means they can easily get lost in the shuffle. Stand out with a gate-folded brochure. Printed on an 11 x 17 sheet, these brochures can fit the equivalent of four 8 x 10 sheets of information and branding. Plus, they fit nicely in a two-pocket folder.
Use a gate-folded brochure to showcase your company story, explain or sell one of your products, and build your brand. The Origin Marketing Solutionistas recently completed a gate-folded brochure for a chemical manufacturer. Check out the project on our Client Stories page!

Wear your design.
Don’t limit yourself to web and paper. Creative graphic design looks good on every medium. Grab the attention of clients and prospects with custom-designed clothing. Ask your crew and sales team to wear your branded clothing on the job and at trade shows, or give your clothing away as promotional products.
Use your logo and brand colors on a variety of garments, from polos and t-shirts to jackets and caps. We helped the crew of a construction company stand out with branded, Day-Glo t-shirts. Check out the finished product on our Client Stories page!

Old school meets new school.

You conduct a lot of business online, but custom print stationery still makes a statement. But you don’t have to limit yourself to black-and-white, boring design. Your company stationery can be as bold as your brand is.
Make your stationery stand out by incorporating your brand colors and using your logo as a watermark on your letterhead and your envelopes. Cross-promote your website and social media pages. Check out our fresh design for a Twin Cities chamber group on our Client Stories page!

Give away the unexpected.
Trade show booths are full of pens, one-sheets, chip clips, and other predictable giveaways. Draw in your visitors with giveaways that will surprise them.
Recently, we created a unique giveaway for our client’s fall buying show. The coaster featured the buying show’s branding and showcased the company’s 25 years in business. Check out the coaster on our Client Stories page!

Become a (profitable) fly on the wall.
What marketing material stays in front of your client’s eyes every day, 365 days a year? A calendar featuring your company and your products. Calendars keep your company front and center. The best ones feature a different product and offer each month.
Brand your calendar with your logo, colors, and photos of your staff and products. We had the opportunity to create an engaging calendar for an automotive parts company. Check out the calendar on our Client Stories page!
