Question

What print design ideas work best for small businesses on a budget?

Answer

A tight budget rewards simple, bold, well-printed design over complexity.

  • Use one or two colors and strong typography instead of intricate illustrations.
  • Stick to standard sizes like 3.5 x 2 inch business cards and 4 x 6 inch postcards to keep costs down.
  • Put your budget into paper quality rather than design complexity.
  • A clean design on thick, textured stock outperforms a busy design on flimsy paper.
