Print Isn’t Dead, It’s Evolved

In today’s digital world, it’s easy to assume that print marketing is irrelevant. But for many local businesses in Basingstoke, professionally printed brochures still play an essential role in reaching customers, sharing information, and building trust.

Unlike emails or social media posts that disappear quickly, brochures offer something physical, a piece of your brand that people can hold, flick through, and revisit later. They’re useful at events, in waiting areas, during face-to-face meetings, or even through the post.

At Colourstream Ltd, brochure printing continues to be one of our most requested services for local businesses who want to make a lasting impression. Whether you run a school, healthcare practice, estate agency, or corporate office, brochures help you communicate clearly and professionally.

A Personal Way to Build Credibility

A well-designed brochure tells people who you are, what you offer, and how you can help, all in one place. Unlike digital ads, brochures don’t feel intrusive. They give potential customers time to engage with your message at their own pace.

This can be especially important for:

  • Explaining services that need more detail
  • Introducing your business to a local audience
  • Giving customers something to take away after an appointment or meeting

Printed brochures also help build brand credibility. When done properly, they reflect care and professionalism. At Colourstream, we use high-quality paper stocks and precision finishes to ensure your materials represent your business at its best.

Still Effective in a Local Marketing Strategy

If your business depends on people in Basingstoke and the surrounding areas, you need more than just a website. Local marketing is about visibility and trust. Handing out a well-printed brochure at a local event or leaving a few in nearby cafes or shops gives people a reason to remember you.

Brochures can be used as:

  • Information packs at trade shows and networking events
  • Welcome packs for new clients or tenants
  • Inserts in direct mail campaigns
  • Handouts for sales teams and consultants

They work particularly well when paired with other marketing efforts, such as digital ads or social media, to reinforce your message tangibly.

Custom Printing to Suit Your Business

Every business is different, so custom brochure printing is so important. From format and layout to paper type and binding, your choices affect how your message is received.

Common brochure formats include:

  • Tri-fold brochures: Compact and ideal for service summaries or takeaway menus
  • A4 booklets: Great for product catalogues, school prospectuses, or event programmes
  • Square booklets: Visually distinctive and perfect for creative or design-led industries

We offer complete design support or can work with your existing artwork. We can also help you choose the best finishes, such as matt lamination, spot UV, or perfect binding, to create a polished result that reflects your brand’s personality.
