Buffer What possible benefit can there be to having the back of your leaflet or business card blank? Cost? – It’s only a few quid more normally to print both sides.

Buffer This week we are doing a job throughout Cleckheaton and surrounding areas to promote the new Totally Locally Cleckheaton initiative from the town traders. We were approached, and our advice sought regarding the numbers needed to get a good clear message across to local people who would consider Cleckheaton to be their Town Centre.  This is for the launch event, which is running in conjunction with the ever popular Cleckheaton Folk Festival on 7th and 8th of July 2012.
