Hi all,
We too have a postcard, which is theoretically part of our advertising
of Doctoral Development Programme modules but actually stands alone
quite nicely.
I have the same doubts about printed materials, and we do our best to
make them as robust and long-lasting as possible by sticking to simple
calls to action and directing people to the web for up-to-date info. We
also have a 2-sided A5 flyer advertising ORDA (our local name for
figshare for institutions), and that is also very minimal.
The other thing we're working on is having slides that we can give to
departments to show on display screens in common areas, which most of
our buildings have these days.
I will ask my colleague in faculty engagement whether we have PDFs of
these that we can share.
