Company Brochures

[jamoor]

Today I struck a goldmine, I found a good bunch of photos of our company that I never knew existed, they are from the late 70s to the late 90s, so very old.
There are photos of the founder, previous locations warehouses etc.

As it's a family business the photos have pictures of the previous generation and the current 2 generation photos. Do you think it will be a good idea to incorporate these pictures into some sort of corporate brochure showing us from the past to the present about our company or has anyone had a similar experience doing a similar thing?

Thanks for your opinions

I like seeing that a company has history, so i would say yes - include some photos - May depend on what the company does though i guess and what the photos are like.

I have thought about doing something similar. We are a family run (fifth generation!) company and I was thinking about doing a very retro style addition to a brochure detailing the history. A bit playful and for a laugh, make customers think you have a sense of humour and appreciate your heritage.

If you do go ahead, let me know, I would love to see it

it is a long way off yet! More of a pet project. I have magazine articles relating back to prior to WWI, with images to match, as well as all original letterheads etc.

Quite bizarre looking back at it, seeing the history. Once a very local company, to what we are now!
