QuarkPromote.com, a new online service designed to help entrepreneurs and small businesses create their own professional marketing materials, now offers users 4,500 templates for business cards, postcards, brochures, flyers, data sheets, letterhead, envelopes, coupons, and appointment cards.

QuarkPromote.com offers access to customizable templates that include hundreds of all-purpose templates and thousands designed for specific industries. Industry-specific templates come with suggested marketing text and stock photos. Designers interested in joining the QuarkPromote.com designer directory can visit the Quark Site.

Anyone familiar with common office software can use QuarkPromote.com to create marketing materials in three steps. Customers first browse the templates by industry or product type, customize the template they choose with information about their business, and place their print order to be picked up at a nearby printer or sent by mail. Quark offers pickup at nearby printers, often in three days or less, at no extra charge, according to the company.

Various print franchises and independent printers across the US have joined the QuarkPromote.com printer community, including Allegra Network, AlphaGraphics, PIP, Signal Graphics, and Sir Speedy, Quark says. Printers interested in joining QuarkPromote.com can visit Quark’s site.
