We have all heard the mantra: Business cards, Business Cards, BUSINESS CARDS.
They are a must to promote your business. But lets face it, what do we really do when someone gives us a business card. If you are anything like me, they probably end up in the trash sooner or later. So here are two great ideas to put your name in your customer’s hands and not head for the trashcan.
Matchbook notepads
I just bought these great customized notepads from CardsandNotes on Etsy. They are wonderful! Plus since they are designed like a matchbook, most people will slip them into their purse for future use. It is a great practical item to get your name in your customer’s hands and keep it there.
Bookmarks
Quick, inexpensive to make, and highly practical. I just got through creating a promotional bookmark for my Etsy store. Not only does it have pictures of my work, but it also has my store address. I placed the address on the back of my bookmark with an address label. The label says “Don’t forget to bookmark. www.Elunajewelry.etsy.com.”
Hopefully I will be able to find some more cool ideas to post soon!
Great tips! Thanks for posting!

ReplyDeleteI have made my own matchbook type notepads with product photos front and back. Good tips!
We can offer promotion for products during our 2009 Emmy and American Music Awards Gifting Suites, complete with video and photos with Emmy Award Nominnes and Award Presnters, not to mention Media coverage.
ReplyDeleteI know this has nothing to do with Craft Shows, but hopefully it is information you can use.
