Marketing/Printed Materials Request Form

Brochures make handy giveaway items at events in which you want to provide students and their parents a summary of your program and its top selling points before directing them to your website for more information. For projects that require relatively little explanation for the audience to understand what your program is, we often recommend rack cards instead. Please note that we recommend orders of at least 100. Estimate at least 4 business weeks for project completion and delivery.

Brochure prices can vary widely according to the size (single fold, 4-panel, 6-panel), ink, bleed, paper weight, etc.). The Marketing Department will work with you to determine the best options for your project.

Digital graphics can be used to share information and liven up your emails to prospective students.

Due to time constraints, the Marketing Department reserves the right to decline requests for 50 or fewer flyers.
