Brochures are funded by advertising purchased by your vendors and suppliers. Size of the 9" x 12" oversized brochure is determined by the support generated from your team of vendors/suppliers. For every page of advertising purchased, your company will receive a free matching page for your content. For example, 10 pages sold in advertising + 10 pages free for your company will result in a 20-page brochure. District Publishing will handle all of the sales with your vendors as well as the writing, design and printing. You can retain as much creative control of the design of the final brochure as you choose. You will approve all proofs before your project is sent to print. You receive a minimum of 1,000 copies of your brochure and a digital version. All we ask during the process is for 2 simple things: 1. Supply District Publishing with photography you would like to utilize for your pages. Other photography options are available at no cost. 2. Be supportive of the project if any of your vendors should contact you during the sales process.

Each project garnered more vendor support and a larger completed project than the previous one. Our Sales Team loves it when a new brochure is ready because it’s a high-quality, professional leave-behind marketing piece that helps our team make a lasting impression on our own prospective clients. District Publishing always seems to have something new to offer. This time it was a Flip-Book, an electronic copy of our brochure that we will post on our website to reach even more potential customers. Your company continues to add value to your offerings, and you do the time-consuming work that we often have a hard time finding the time to delve into ourselves. Your team contacted our vendors, negotiated the payments, collected the vendor’s artwork, designed, proofed, printed and delivered the final brochures— all while giving us full control over the content of the brochure. The process was as simple for us as it could possibly be. On top of all that, your entire staff is friendly and easy to work with – both of which are hugely important to us. Even though this project just finished, we are already looking forward to our fourth in the near future. Thank you again for another great marketing resource.” Mercer Stanfield • President Brame Specialty Company, Inc. Durham, NC “I want to say ‘Thank You’ for how well our vendor-supported marketing project moved along. We were kept well informed throughout each step of the process, and all District Publishing departments were easy to work with. Bill Upleger handled negotiations with our vendors so well that he was able to generate support and sales for two brochures–one for local use and the other for national use. We had complete control of the design content for the brochures, and Kurt Nass, our writer/designer, knew exactly what we wanted. With only a few edits, we had picture-perfect brochures. We are excited to use this marketing tool and look forward to updating it in a couple of years.” Jeff Wegner • Director of Sales & Marketing Danko Emergency Equipment Co. Snyder, NE “Since the first call with your company, professionalism was an understatement. The explanation of the project and all steps in the process were crystal clear, and Tom Stockman followed up regularly with the vendors who participated in the project. Everyone knew their business well and were first-class people to work with, resulting in: • An outstanding brochure with excellent quality of photography, paper, etc.… • Our customers love the brochure • We regularly use brochures with potential customers–they are delighted to see the story…” Pat Quicquaro • Sales/Marketing Development Manager PMF Plumbing Montreal, Quebec - Canada “District Publishing has far exceeded the great things we had heard about from other companies. At an industry meeting, one of our competitors was showing off the brochure District Publishing created for them, and how they got such a professional marketing piece with only a little sweat equity. We were very excited when you sent us your samples, and we found out that District Publishing was the same company that created the other brochures. All of the references you provided to us checked out, and they were very reputable firms. Hal, your photographer was great. The small amount of time we invested in working with your company to create the brochure will reap big rewards with the new business we will gain. Thank you for all the hard work that your company put in on our behalf.” Langdon Scott • Vice President Peninsular Electric Distributors, Inc. West Palm Beach, Florida “I would like to thank you and your team for the extraordinary job that everyone did in the production of our new sales brochure. The finished product most certainly speaks for itself. As an independent distributor that has changed and grown considerably in the last five years, we needed something new to give our customers a clear picture of who we are today. The task at hand looked difficult, but with the help and support we received, it was a very manageable project. Early feedback has been awesome. The photos, the advertising, and our story come to life within the pages. Our customers that can’t come down and see our facility now get a complete tour from their office. We are confident this will be an important selling tool moving forward.” Kelly Lynch • Vice President/Sales Manager Western State Tool & Supply Hayward, CA “We had full control over the design of the brochure, and the design process was very easy and smooth, even with our many modifications. Your VendorSupported Marketing Program with no out-of-pocket costs is the primary reason we decided to undertake the project. Without that feature, it’s not something we would have done. We now have some very professional marketing materials that we will be using for years to come.” James R. Kiessling • Vice President Ad-Tech CCI, Inc. Harrisburg, PA “District Publishing was reliable through every phase of the project, and they were available whenever we needed assistance. I would highly recommend District Publishing to any business looking to grow their exposure and promote their products and services via a printed or digital publication. They are great at what they do!” Zachary T. Haines • CEO DPA Buying Group Cincinnati, OH “Our new company brochure is outstanding. As five independently-owned and operated stores that are part of the top cooperative wholesale HVAC distributor in the country, we now have a brochure that is uniquely our own. Thanks to the brochure, our customers can put a face to their sales people and understand our strengths.” Tom Johnson • Vice President Sales and Marketing Johnstone Supply Muskegon, MI
