Brochures are a popular way to advertise many things, whether it be a business, service or practically anything. Getting the brochures into the hands of your audience can often be difficult, however. Handing out brochures to people one by one often takes too much time and man power. Leaving a stack of brochures on a desk or counter can be messy and unorganized. With a brochure holder, your brochures will be proudly displayed and easily accessible. Plus, a brochure holder is easy to make as long as you have a little bit of cardboard and some duct tape.
