Brochures
Leave-behinds and sales pieces that give a homeowner the full picture of what you do — and why you.
Brochures give a homeowner something to hold onto after the estimate call ends and the decision-making begins. A well-built tri-fold explains what you do, why your process is different, and what to expect — without requiring them to remember a sales pitch verbatim.
It's the piece that sits on a kitchen counter next to two competing quotes and either gets picked up again or gets tossed. Toughjobs writes brochure copy that actually sells the job instead of listing every service the company has ever performed, then designs a layout built for the fold, the format, and the moment it's handed over.
Whether it's a leave-behind after an estimate, a rack card at the supply house counter, or a mailer insert, every brochure is built on your existing brand system so it looks like the same company as your truck, your card, and your website. We handle copy, design, proofing, and print production start to finish.
Brochures that get you noticed.
When a homeowner needs the full picture — every service you offer, why you, and how to reach you — a brochure does the selling for you. It's the perfect leave-behind after an estimate and a proven direct-mail piece, with room to make your whole case and stay on the counter.
Why trades owners invest in brochures.
Tells the whole story
Room for services, process, guarantees, and proof — everything a homeowner needs to say yes.
Doubles as direct mail
The same piece works as a mailer to target the neighborhoods you want to win.
Leave-behind that sticks
Homeowners keep brochures. Yours sits by the phone until they need the work.

Brochures built around a specific job.
brochures for contractors should not begin with a generic layout. Brochures should be scoped from the moment of use backward. If the piece is for an estimate follow-up, sales appointment, referral packet, or service overview, the message, physical format, proof, and response path all need to support that one job. Copy written without that context usually becomes crowded or too vague to act on.
Before design, Toughjobs documents fold, page order, services included, proof required, and whether the piece will be mailed or handed over. The first proof is checked as a working communication tool: Can the intended reader understand it in the available time? Is the main action obvious? Does every claim match what the business can actually deliver?
WHAT BROCHURES ACTUALLY COST
Production begins only after the authorized contact approves the message and specifications. That approval covers panel order, contact details, offer terms, folds, paper, finish, and mailing requirements. If a vendor or installer changes a requirement, the file is revised and approved again so the finished piece does not depend on an assumption hidden in an email thread.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A BROCHURES PARTNER
- Writes copy that actually explains the offer, not just a services list
- Recommends fold style and stock based on how the piece will be handed out
- Designs a clear next step — a number, QR code, or offer — on every panel
- Coordinates the brochure’s look with your cards, signs, and trucks
- Keeps print-ready files on hand so a reorder takes a day, not a redesign

Brochures FAQ
What should we provide for a brochures quote?
Provide the intended use, approximate quantity, deadline, delivery location, available artwork, and any known production specifications. Important planning details include fold, page order, services included, proof required, and whether the piece will be mailed or handed over.
Does Toughjobs handle both design and production for brochures?
The scope can include message planning, copy, design, proof preparation, and production coordination. The quote should state which services, materials, shipping, mailing, installation, or vendor costs are included.
What should be checked before the piece goes to production?
Review spelling, phone numbers, URLs, QR destinations, offer terms, and brand details. The production check should also confirm panel order, contact details, offer terms, folds, paper, finish, and mailing requirements.
