marketing tales


My artist's rep, Christina Tugeau, does promotional mailings a few times a year. Most recently we sent out flyer sheets, 8.5 x 11. It was nice to have so much room to play with! I used this as an opportunity to show character development. I did drop the ball in one area though - I left the back blank. What a missed opportunity! It never even occurred to me to print on the back. I was really busy with deadlines at the time and I put this together in a big hurry. I won't make that mistake again! Next time, I'll use both sides.

Wonderful mailer, Patrice. I like the different facial expressions and poses. Your work has such energy to it.

Kristi is so right about the energy your work conveys. I don't think that can be taught, you have the gift in spades, lady!

I don't think it is the end of the world that you didn't print on back, particularly with the larger size promo. I hear with the larger cards, they get tacked up sometimes, so the backside might be a moot point. In any event, great stuff!
