Now: A "real store" look at a price you can't beat!

Your consignment and resale clientele will know you're professional when you look good in print! But graphic designers doing one job at a time cost serious money, money you don't have to spend. To bring professional layout design to you at a reasonable price, we've created layouts for you and included tips and ideas on how to use them.

There are two ways to use our Layout Kits:
The simplest way is as (almost) camera-ready art. All you do is choose the layout you need today, print it out from the file, add your store info, and take to your instant printer. For pennies you'll have just the right message to hand out, mail, or use as bag-stuffers or signage! Make as many copies as you like, as often as you like, once you've purchased the layout.
The most creative way to use our Layouts is as a goldmine of ideas and suggestions. Make it your own, using our Layouts simply as examples  to help you develop a useful and usable form. Our Layouts will get you 90% of the way towards creating your own unique publication. Ideas like these, developed by a real-life shopkeeper, are invaluable.

Don't struggle to communicate your ideas to a copywriter who has no idea about resale marketing: Use our Layout Kits as your personal source for time- and money-saving guidance! 

Please note: Layout Kits are hard-copy layouts, not software applications. They're intended for use by shopkeepers who would like to examine professional handouts as a reference to develop a unique layout of their own, and for practically-immediate use by shopkeepers who don't care to develop their own layouts. The files themselves are not alterable with software word processing programs. And, as with all electronic files, because these files are non-tangible irrevocable goods we do not issue refund after the product is shipped. PDQs cannot be resent to a second address.
