Abstract
An improved structure and method for a promotional article is provided. A multi-page structure includes one or more pages of gallery-quality paper for receiving on their first sides high quality printed reproductions suitable for retention and framing as an immediate incentive gift for the recipient, and on their second sides promotional information and/or advertisements. Redeemable coupons for use in conjunction with the promotional and/or advertising copy are also provided by a structure adapted to permit removal of the coupons without reducing the value or impact of the incentive gifts. The resulting structure may be used as a free standing insert for newspapers or other publications, or alone as a promotional brochure.
