Greetings!
So much is happening at PP&D, it must be time to produce a newsletter. We've had a busy winter of distribution. Less snow in the mountains means more people are flocking to PP&D Brochure Displays looking for something new to do!
I'm proud to announce that PP&D has acquired Kingdom Brochure Distribution. They have lots of displays throughout the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, at many great locations! See more in the article below.
I'm also very excited that PP&D now has exclusive brochure distribution on all of Lake Champlain Ferries. We can now guarantee your brochure will be rockin' the boats! See article below for details.
We are looking forward to the spring and summer seasons. Current summer clients should have received their new 2012 proposals via e-mail. Please let me know if you did not receive yours.
As always, I welcome any feedback, questions, comments or praise.
Sincerely,
Bill Orleans, Owner

PP&D NOW HAS EXCLUSIVE BROCHURE DISTRIBUTION ON ALL THE FERRY BOATS
After 30 years of being asked, "How can I get my brochures on the Ferries ?", I finally have an answer! Lake Champlain Transportation has agreed to let PP&D manage brochures on the Ferries!
Did you know:
Last Year there were almost A Million Passengers!
They make over 50,000 Trips Per Year!
There are Seven Boats & Three Crossings!
That is a lot of travelers, visitors, and tourists! Sure, some commuters may stay in their cars, but tens of thousands of visitors walk the boat, enjoy the view and visit the brochure displays. Truly a captive audience - they can't get off!
There are a limited number of brochure slots available. We are only selling a package for all boats: $700 for May
-October (and we'll throw in November - April free). That's less than $17 per month per boat. Please contact me asap if you want to be included.

Brochure Distribution Q&A
How can I tell if I have a good brochure? Check out the International Association of Professional Brochure Distributors' Brochure Test on their website and see how you stack up. If your brochure scores poorly, watch a great video on how to design and print an effective brochure. Also check out PP&D's Top Ten Tips for brochure design.
What is a Vermont Attractions Rack and why isn't my brochure in it?
The Vermont Attractions Association (VAA) is a membership organization of most of Vermont's finest attractions. They produce the Vermont Attractions state map. They also have a cross marketing program that places a brochure display at every member's locations places and everyone's brochures in each display. PP&D established that program in 1989 and is their designated distributor. Click here if you are Interested in more about VAA.
How many brochures do I need?
That is the toughest question I get. There are so many factors; the popularity of your business, the attractiveness of your brochure, regions desired and number of months of delivery. I have tried to provide ball park numbers on my website. Let me know if you have any questions.
Can I pick and choose the locations?
Sorry, we do not provide that service. With dozens of brochures in the vans it would be very hard. Besides, everyone wants your brochures, so let us put them everywhere!
If we have a PP&D Brochure Display can we get a free distribution?
Sorry, I'm sure that sounds good to you. But most of our clients have displays and with that business model, we would be out of business very quickly (and you wouldn't like that).
