Anybody else using Asuka Books as "self-promo" pieces?

Anybody else using Asuka Books as "self-promo" pieces?

 

We think it will help to put a tangible product in the hands of prospective clients.

Something of substance and quality. We will also be placing a DVD inside the back cover of

the book which will have a slideshow, some clips of our wedding videography as well as of

us talking about what we do.

 

Here is a link to a low-res pdf of our 20 pg. 5x5 "self-promo" Asuka Book (550 KB).

It will be a hard cover, book bound product with varnished pages, around 3/8" thick.

 

We plan on ordering 40 to start.

 

All the best,

 

Andr頊.

Ouch! I guess photo.net doesn't do "accent aigus"!

 

All the best,

Andre <br>I am designing one for a promotional piece as well. I have several florists, caterers, and boutiques in my area that send me alot of business each year. I will display a book at each vendor, and it will be a 'partner' album for each business. I will use images from each wedding from that specific vendor in their book, and the cover will contain my logo, as well as their logo/name. I think you have a great marketing idea, and the brides will love it. The price is right, too! Best of luck,<br>Duane

Andre, I hope you don't mind my asking, but could you tell me how to get the picture from photoshop onto the page in the book? There is no technical supposrt on Asukas website, and I'm not that great with PS. Your book looks really great and I like the little bit of text you added. Sometimes people add too much. I think it's a great idea for promo!! Thanks!

Colleen, Asuka has templates in the form of PS files... You just build your pages on those

templates and when you're done you flatten the layers and save them as maximum qulaity

jpegs. The final step is to drag the folder of jpegs onto their file checker software and it

writes a PDF file thatyou upload to their server. Within a month you get your book(s).

 

All the best,

I viewed your book in stealth mode while sitting here at my desk at work. Good stuff! I'm looking to get some books made to, so if anyone has any more links, please advise.

 

My first thought after viewing your album (especially the black page with text) was concern over finger prints and oils from your potential clients, but then I saw the pages were varnished, although I'm not sure how much protection that will really offer.

hi, i was just wondering how much these books cost?

i think it's a great idea to use these as promo pieces.

they look amazing!

I can't get the link to work. Is it just me or did you take it down?
