There is an obvious point to utilizing a brochure holder: Information is made easily accessible to your customers. This information can range from simple tri-fold menus up to full-color multi-page pamphlets detailing everything there is to know about your business. A strategically placed brochure stand will entice your customers to pick up its contents, learn more about you and enhance their memories of your business.

Brochure holder pricing and costs vary greatly, depending on the type of material used, how many pockets there are and how deep the pockets are. Think of how many brochures you'd like to display and how quickly your customers are likely to go through the brochures. That will help you decide which type of holder to buy. Also consider the following:

1. Set a brochure display stand with useful pamphlets about your business where customers can grab them as they enter or leave your office.

2. Mount a brochure holder on the wall of your place of business. This puts your informational pamphlets at eye level.

3. Consider buying some trade show booth brochure racks. These are helpful as they display a lot of information in a small area, and are often portable.

Get a countertop brochure display stand to make for easy access

Acrylic brochure holders are a great way to display single sets or groups of pamphlets. These can be placed on any flat surface, like a table, desk or larger display stand. Small, single brochure holders can cost less than $5 at a local office supply store while larger holders with six or eight pockets will cost significantly more, up to $60. Quality varies greatly, so if you plan for long-term use, pay a little extra for a thicker, more sturdy stand.

I recommend: Explore your countertop brochure display options at Brochure Holders Online or Taymar Industries.

Invest in a wall-mount brochure holder for your professional office

Wall-mounted racks are space savers in your place of business. Simply mount them on the wall and display all of your brochures in one place. They do vary greatly in price, though. Smaller, economical choices range from $30 to about $120. Larger sizes start around $140 and can top over $300. Wooden racks start at $40 but are generally priced comparably with acrylic racks.

I recommend: Ergo in Demand has a wide variety of brochure holders for every price range. Clear Literature Display Systems also has a great variety of holders.

Consider a brochure rack for exhibit booths or everyday use

At trade shows, floor space comes at a premium. If you don't have much counter space to spare, consider using a rotating brochure rack. You have several options here; wire racks, plastic racks, metal racks and even wooden racks are all available. Prices vary depending on how many pockets there are, how deep the pockets are (i.e., how much you can put in them), as well as how sturdy the base is. Cheaper options are small wire brochure floor stands (starting around $60), followed by plastic racks ($185 to over $600) and metal and wooden racks ($300 to $1,000+). Collapsible and easily transportable racks come in handy as well, and these can range from relatively inexpensive (under $50) to costing a pretty penny ($400).

I recommend: Check out the different types of rotating display racks at Siegel Display Products. If you're concerned with set-up time and transportation, go with one of the displays at Displays2Go, which features plenty of collapsible brochure stands, some with carrying cases.
