Marketing Flyers

A few ideas for flyers which can be used to publicize boating classes and internal courses. The boating class flyers can be distributed on local bulletin boards, at boat shows, marinas, etc. There is one example designed to promote internal courses which can be used in newsletters and at squadron meetings and events. They are provided in MSWord (.doc) format so they can be modified to include squadron information.

Tip of the Month

You can use individual PowerPoint slides as overhead transparencies.  If you do this, you add pizzazz to your OHT presentation by adding color.  View the slide you would like to use and print it directly on to transparency film.  (Be sure to use the correct film specified for your type of printer.)
