It can be pinned on to cork boards, stuck unto refrigerators, taped into doors, slipped between planners and notebooks, etc. The flyers’ ability to land in different places make it perfect as portable medium.
• The flyers are perfect for businesses which products and services customers already know about and avail of regularly. It can be generic services like food delivery, laundry services or dry cleaning, water delivery, home spa massage etc.
One-time purchases or Service Installations
• Brochures
These are printed in larger sheets of paper that can be folded for easier handling. These brochures are intended to be informative and instructional to be read once or several times by the customers.
• Unlike the flyer that simply holds a product list, the brochure can simply discuss a single product or service comprehensively. It lists the benefits of the product to the customers and may explain manufacturing process, the technology, or possible uses.
• Brochures are the choice marketing material for businesses that sell equipment and specialty items.
• Brochures are also the best marketing materials for services that need to be installed at home like the internet, cable services, water purifier, sprinkler systems, etc. Customers need information and explanation on how these products/services work and how its use can further improve their lives.
Referrals based businesses
• Business cards
These cards are often the only marketing material required by professionals and businesses that thrive on a more personal relationship.
• Advertising firms, graphic artist, web consultancy firms, doctors, lawyers, accountants, sales agents, graphic artist, web developers, all build their business through referrals and network building. The business card is an important and handy tool to give away in networking avenues like conferences, lectures, parties, trade shows, etc.

How do I put a lien on my sister's bank account?
By: rita bock | 05-10-2008
My sister owes me money - I laid out the security and animal insurance a total of $2100 for her when she moved into her new apartment. She did not work and much of her living expenses were paid by me. She did inherit money from my mother's estate which she lived on until recently when she suddenly died. Her children were not in contact with her for the past few years and the older of the two children wants nothing to do with his mother and cannot be located. Her daughter cannot become the administrator of her mother's so-called estate because she is not the older of the two children and the other cannot be found to sign of waiver giving her authority to administer the mother's estate. In the meantime, I wanted to give my sister a decent burial so I laid out the $10,000 cost of the funeral. She does have $60,000 in a bank account and I would like to know how to go about putting a lien on this money that I have paid out $10,000 plus $2,100 for her landlord who refuses to give me back the security because of cat damage to the apartment.
