Week 8 at Heartwood Custom Homes

Tuesday, July 5

On Tuesday, July 5, I began my morning printing out our take-one brochures to then be placed out in front of all of our current construction sites.  These brochures are informational and basically state what we do as a business and who we are, and how to contact us if interested.  Then once that was complete I printed off flyers for the farmers market do be prepared for the up coming weekend.  We were completely out and so we wanted to get them complete while it was still fresh in our minds.  I then printed out flooring and paint information to be inserted into the customer selections binder.  As the day progressed I printed brochures to duplicate a job binder of various home projects done in the past.  This book will be used as a reference tool for clients to visually see what forms of building we do and have done previously.  I then took the time to develop a new brochure template in Illustrator.  The previous brochures were developed in CorelDraw which was a program like illustrator except it can only handle so much per document before it begins freezing and running very slowly.  With this new template the construction of the brochures should be a lot less time consuming.  I ended my day by contacting the business that takes care of all of our large printing jobs.  I contacted them in regards to pricing for a print job for one page flyers placed on a glossy paper.  Overall the day seemed to go by fast.
