One of the many printing services that UPrinting offer is custom flyers and brochures. They thought it would be fun to show my readers just how useful brochures can be for a variety of applications, so they would like to give one lucky Contest Corner reader the chance to make 100 flyers of their own! Brochures have a myriad of uses, including:

• Promoting your business
• Creating programs for weddings, graduations or other events
• Spreading the word about a charity or cause in the community
• Menus
• Invitations

UPrinting are also sending me a complimentary set of flyers, so I will be spoilt for choice when deciding how to use them! I have received several neat items from them before, and I will be posting a few v-logs soon so that you can see what results I’ve gotten. In the meantime, you can check out the UPrinting Reviews on Yelp.com to see what other customers have to say about their services.

One lucky Contest Corner reader will win a set of 100 Brochures! Here are the prize specs:

100 8.5 x11″ Brochure / Flyers on 100lb gloss text paper ; 4 color printing on both sides
Folding Choices: Half fold; Trifold/Letterfold; Z-fold; Accordion (4 panels) Roll Fold (4 Panels)
