Bookmark Marketing


Bookmarks are a useful marketing tool that appeals to a wide audience ranging from an occasional reader to a regular bookworm. Simple and cost effective, custom printed promotional bookmarks create front of mind awareness every time your prospects and customers pick up their favorite book.



Here are a few ways to boost business with bookmarks:

* Maximize your advertising space by printing on both sides of your bookmark.

* Use a bookmark as a save the date reminder for upcoming events.

* Incorporate useful information, such as a calendar or ruler on one side of the bookmark.

* Use a die-cut shape for unique appeal. A pizza delivery business could distribute bookmarks designed as a slice of pizza, including delivery phone numbers.

* Advertise discounts or monthly specials. For example, receive a free haircut with any color during the month of May.

* Hand them out with every sale. After all, your best customer is one who has already purchased your product.

* Mail bookmarks to a local targeted area to attract new business. Include a coupon or special discount for a first time customer. It’s cheaper and more effective than placing an ad in the phonebook or newspaper, and it draws immediate attention.

* Send bookmarks with every piece of mailed correspondence, including invoices, statements, holiday cards, quotes, and newsletters.

* Use them as a mini-billboard. Post them on a bulletin board at a local business, such as a gas station, supermarket, community center, etc.

* Hand them out at tradeshows and conferences. Bookmarks are an affordable takeaway with long term promotional benefits.

* Give bookmarks to a complementary business in your local area.

An outdated logo can make you look stagnant and stale in the minds of prospective customers. To combat this effect, many companies redesign their logos every few years to keep them fresh.
