Would You Be Interested in Pre-Designed Folders?

Folder Design Easy Button?

We are always thinking about ways we can make it easier for customers to design presentation folders. Lately, we have been thinking of offering pre-designed folders as a way to help small businesses on a tight budget avoid the added expense of graphic designers. We have found that many of our customers have a difficult time envisioning what they want when staring a blank folder in the face. In addition, they don't really have the time to be monkeying around with a graphics package. Business owners have better things to do than become artists.

Turns out, each industry tends to use similar style folders. So, we asked our graphic artists to design some common styles that are popular and relevant to each industry. This will allow you to browse around and choose a general look for your folders based on each industry. Pre-designed folders will save you time and money. However, if you already have a grand vision of how you want your pocket folders to look, we are always glad to be of service.

Pre-designed folders offer a great starting point and you no longer have to wonder what other companies are doing in your industry. Does this interest you? We are looking for feedback on the idea as well as the implementation. Would you prefer to be able to move elements around by clicking and dragging or would you rather type your information into designated boxes? Is it important for you to see a proof online before you order? What industries would you like to see? What folder styles would you like to see?

Here are some potential industries:

• Animals & Pet Care
• Arts, Music & Entertainment
• Automotive & Transportation
• Beauty, Massage & Spa

If pre-designed folders would help you in any way, we would gladly offer them. We think it is a great idea and a few of our competitors already offer them. However, what really matters to us is how you feel. Let us know by contacting us in whatever fashion you are comfortable with.

Also, would a photo gallery of previous designs we have done help you with your design? I always prefer to look at what has already been done and take bits and pieces of different designs and pull them all together into my own style.

Is there anything else you would like to see The Folder Store offer?
