A generation ago, households had several sets of coasters, for the purpose of protecting fine wood from drips and condescension of drinking glasses. However, some years back, inexpensive end tables and coffee tables were introduced in man-made wood, laminated finishes, plastics, acrylics, rattan, and wicker, and glass tops. Promotional coasters were no longer necessary and some popularity. But the tradition and use of fine furnishings is re-emerging and making coasters in demand once again.
With that in mind, you may want to think about using promotional coasters as your next customer give-away.
Promotional coasters offer a great deal of benefits when used as corporate gifts. A coaster’s flat surface is ideal for displaying your company name and logo. Relatively inexpensive, you can create a set from 4-12 coasters, and, should someone request more, your corporate budget could certainly handle it!
Coasters are most readily available in circles or squares, and in plastic or acrylic. Today’s technology allows for photographic-like screening, so your image is replicated accurately, a feature that is not always possible with other promotional items. Unique shapes may be available, as well as see-through models, allowing your logo to be seen on both sides. You can select between flat or edged coasters, and for the really important clients, between leather or wood. Your business can even investigate the availability of a matching coaster holder that will set off your gift to its best advantage.
So, what are the benefits of promotional coasters over other promotional items? Well, when most people reach for coasters, it’s because they will be having drinks in the living or family room, and if so, they are probably hosting business friends, clients, or family gatherings. Such entertaining offers opportunities in the form of guests noticing your company name or logo on the coasters and striking up conversations about it. People who may not have heard of or done business with your company will receive free, word of mouth promotion!
Coasters last a very long time, and your message will reach many folks over the years, even if the coasters are merely displayed. Since they can be easily moved, they stay in a family for decades. Over that time, every occasion that a coaster is placed under a glass will generate a thought about your company, and serve as a reminder of your generosity. When your product or service is again needed, the client will probably remember and come to you first!
Due to coasters’ design, they are easily presented to clients; dozens can be taken to tradeshows or conventions in small containers. Sets can be wrapped and tied with ribbon, placed in envelopes, used as filling in gift baskets, or used as table favors, for example. Being lightweight, they can also be mailed economically.
Sooner or later, everyone has the need for a coaster, and providing a set as a promotional gift to customers is a wise move. Your business will be remembered and appreciated for providing a household item that is definitely needed, but something that most people don’t think to buy for themselves.
In many ways, promotional coasters serve everyone well!
