Promotional items are an important part of defining your company image, and also of building your clientele and generating goodwill with customers. To benefit from all the possible advantages of using promotional items, it’s necessary to create a recognizable brand that people can associate with your company. The idea behind this concept is simple—to choose a variety of promotional products, and brand each one with your company logo, company colors, or an advertising slogan that represents your business.
Just as important is choosing practical promotional items that people find useful. There’s not much point in selecting items that people don’t have a need for, as the items you distribute will then sit in a drawer gathering dust, or may even be thrown away.
The important point in all of this is to create attractively-designed promotional items that people will enjoy using. Printed coasters gives you a good amount of space to work with in creating your design—much more than a pen or a key ring, for example—so you’ve got a great opportunity to add plenty of promotional information as well as design an aesthetically pleasing item.
Keep the following points in mind when designing printed coasters and other promotional items.
- Choose a theme for your design, and make sure every design choice you make is in line with that theme.
- Don’t let the design of your item overshadow the important information—your company name or logo should be easily readable.
- Choose a simple font that is easy to read. Sans serif fonts usually work best.
- If you use images, make sure they are relevant to your company.
Distributing printed coasters printed with your slogan or logo can be an effective method of tapping into all the benefits of promotional items, particularly if you team your coasters up with one or two other items such as a mouse mat or coffee mug.
Giving a coffee mug and promotional coaster set is effective because you’re giving people two items that have related uses—people will be able to sip on their mid-morning coffee using your mug, and then rest the mug on the coaster you’ve thoughtfully supplied them with. A mouse mat and coaster set is another great option, as these two items can be designed along the same lines in terms of color and style. Often you can use much the same design on both a mouse mat and a coaster, and you’ll only need to decrease the scale on the coaster to account for its smaller size.
Item sets like these—or even just a coaster alone—are a great way of marking your mark. Desk top items that get used frequently are very effective promotional items to distribute, as those items see plenty of use, and people will often store them on a desk or somewhere in plain sight even when they’re not being used. That means your company slogan or promotional message is always in view, and you can increase your advertising exposure quite significantly.
