Bookmarks make for great promotional giveaways especially when they’re custom bookmarks. In addition, they are relatively easy to design and reproduce. If you are looking for answers on how you can do your own bookmark printing, you can always find a variety of software programs that can amply help you do the job. Most of the software programs found in regular computer stores are often packaged as greeting card, sign and poster makers which you can easily afford.

Another idea is to make your custom bookmarks with software already found in your desktop computer. This would be a cinch if you already have basic design and graphic skills under your belt.

OR, you can always hire a professional design and bookmark printing provider to design your bookmarks for a more professional appearance, as well as do an online design and print orders from a website. The latter is suggested if you only need a small number of bookmarks for your marketing needs.

If you choose to do it on your own, here are suggestions on how you can produce effective bookmark printing as your marketing strategy:

Do-It-Yourself
If you choose to do it yourself and design and print your custom bookmarks, the process would entail your effort in doing this project. Next, the cost of having this option is relative to the time and materials you are going to use up, while the quality of your output would also depend on the skills you have. Judging from what you know and how you go about it, we can say that your results would range from being tacky to decently appealing.

So how do you go about it? It’s fairly easy if you happen to have Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher for your text, as well as Photoshop Elements or Jasc Paint Shop Pro for editing your graphics. These programs have design features that you can use for your layout. Or you can also use Adobe Illustrator to design and print decent bookmarks.

But always remember that a cheap and amateur look and feel will definitely reflect on the impact you’re going to have from your target audience. A cheap and low quality bookmark would definitely be a thumbs-down on your business.

What you should do is to use high resolution graphic images for your bookmark design. Apply300dpi in CMYK color, tif format for better resolution. Do not use lower dpi and RGB graphics because they will definitely come out dreadful when you print them out.

For durability, you might want to consider printing on card stock paper. They’re less likely to shred when you accidentally spill liquid on it, and your bookmarks will definitely last a long time with the heavy paper. Plus, laminate your bookmarks for protection before you trim them down.

But remember that your bookmark printing may not look that professional especially if you don’t have the skills in the graphic design department. So if you’re not sure about the output, better get a professional and skilled expert to do it for you.
