The Power of Personalised Notebooks

Branded notebooks make such great giveaways because they’re budget-friendly and come in so many different colours, finishes and sizes. (Leather or linen, pocket-sized or oversized, multi-colour or monochromatic.) The options are truly limitless. And in an increasingly digital world, sometimes it’s nice to return to a simple analogue tool.

Plus, promotional notebooks are a practical way to keep your business top of mind in offices, conference rooms, classrooms, handbags and more. In fact, there are plenty of different ways your business can use customised notebooks to build awareness. Here are a few places to pass out your branded stationery:

• Expos & Conferences: Whether you’re hosting a seminar or set up behind a trade show stand, notebooks make a great giveaway at industry events. Prospects can use them to take notes or jot down contact information.
• School Orientation Events: Stand out in a sea of textbooks with customised branded notebooks. They’re sure to be a hit with students, teachers and parents!
• Gifts with Purchase: Want to show appreciation for an in-store purchase or online order? Include a diary or notebook set as an elegant gift.
• New Employee Presents: Putting together a welcome package for new hires? Make sure to include a corporate notebook.

Personalised Notebook Considerations

Here are three things to keep in mind when personalising your custom-printed notebooks:

• Size: Two of the most common notebook sizes include A5 and A6. A5 is a medium notebook size, about the size of a standard iPad, while A6 is about half the size, making it small enough to fit into most pockets.
• Material: You can customise notebooks made from a range of different materials, including leather and faux leather, cork, canvas, vinyl, recycled paper and more.
• Imprint Type: Another consideration for your customised notebooks is the imprint type. Do you want to show off your logo in full colour, or does a debossed imprint feel more ‘you’?
