Physical marketing like brochures and flyers and billboards legitimizes you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s people&#8217;s way to know that you&#8217;re not just a one-shot business that takes people&#8217;s\u00a0money and run away.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-its-much-easier-to-start-talking-if-you-have-a-brochure\"><\/span><strong>3.
