Newly Updated ISA Marketing Brochures Available!

ISA is pleased to announce that updated and redesigned “Be Certain of it’s Value” brochures are now available for purchase. These tri-fold brochures are the perfect marketing tool to display at your workplace, at tradeshows, estate sales, or other venues. Utilizing many of the new ISA graphics and branding visuals, these brochures will offer your potential clients insight on what to look for in hiring an appraiser, and what makes a good appraisal report. It clarifies that ISA trains appraisers with the most comprehensive education program available, and that ISA members meet the highest standards for appraisal principles, ethics and report writing.

We have partnered with a quality print company called CrossTech Communications to make the ordering process smooth and easy. Simply complete the order form, attach your logo, provide a few lines of custom text to accompany your address, and CrossTech will print the customized brochures and ship them directly to you. They’ll even help clean up your logo artwork, if necessary.  ISA has negotiated special pricing just for members, without any markup, so the savings are passed directly to you!



The brochure is available in a choice of two different cover versions – Fine Art or Antiques & Residential Contents. Whichever style you choose, you can rest assured the brochures will be printed on high quality heavy coated paper using a digital offset press, providing you with a product customized with your company logo that you’ll be proud to display and distribute.
