How to Place a Material Order - Books, Brochures, and Assessments

Besides the downloadable, branded White Papers, Newsletters and Customized Reports, BEI makes available a number of professionally produced books, brochures and assessments. These third-party materials are available for a modest price and are excellent resources to make a great first impression. All are four-color, professionally printed in your firm’s colors and branded with your logo and contact information.

To order some of these powerful marketing materials, start by going to the My BEI box on the BEI Member Center Home Page and click My Material Orders. On the landing page you will find a Product / Pricing Guide.

Be sure to download The Print Materials Branding Guide. Read through it and thoroughly familiarize yourself with it’s contents. It will make your job of filling out the resource order form much easier. Let’s preview what’s in the guide.

1. List of what you will need to complete you order.

2. A pictorial page showing the six products we offer.

3. A pictorial page of each product showing what items will be customized.

When you are ready to place your order:

1. Navigate to the Product / Pricing Guide page and click the maroon Create Order button in the lower, left-hand corner.

2. Fill in all the contact information fields.

3. Download your company logo.

4. Choose the default black and gold color scheme or your custom theme.

5. If you choose the custom theme, insert the HEX Code color value into the proper field.

a. If you don’t know the HEX Code value, you can use the Color Formatter Tool by clicking the appropriate color bar and moving the Color and Hue dots to the best approximation of the color you are looking for. Remember, every computer monitor and printer will produce a slightly different color. So with this method, you will be looking for “close enough.”

b. If you have a PMS Color value, you can go to the Internet and find a site that will convert PMS value to HEX value. There are several to choose from.

6. Paste your Mission Statement into the space provided or use the default statement provided.

7. Paste any disclaimers into the space provided. (This step is optional.)
