Collective Creativity
Holding It Together
By Karen Akers

 

One of the best ways to keep your company in the minds of your clients is to keep your name where they’re likely to see it. A lot. That’s why clips of all kinds can make great promotional items. Whether recipients use them at work or home, They’re generally appreciated and will get noticed.

HANDY TO HAVE. Don’t let their size deceive you; these clips are strong. And when you add your logo, you can be sure it’ll stick around for a while. Use them in any number of ways – posting memos, displaying kids’ artwork, sealing bags of snacks, keeping documents together, whatever. In various colors, including translucents and metallics, and with different backings, such as magnetic, adhesive and fabric pins.

LIGHTWEIGHT YET STURDY. These lightweight but sturdy clips may lack a little in substance, but more than make up for it in utility. They can keep money together, save a page in a book or highlight a report or proposal. Of stainless steel, they’re imprinted digitally, laminated for long-lasting exposure and packaged in an attractive tin.

KEEPS SUNGLASSES SAFE. Nothing’s worse than squashed shades. Keep your sunglasses from getting mangled with this little beauty. It attaches to a car sun visor, giving drivers (or passengers) a place to quickly store and retrieve sunglasses. The addition of a space for a photo gives it a personal touch, making it more likely recipients will keep it around.

PEWTER INCREASES PERCEIVED VALUE. When plain memo holders won’t do, try preserving your logo in pewter for a far more stylish presentation. They’re even available with a magnetic emblem to conceal the clip. They can make for a memorable incentive or premium.

BEYOND BASIC. Why settle for plain old paper clips when you can have ‘em with colorful custom 3-D logos? They pretty much make anything they’re attached to more memorable. Try using them to clip together materials in your next press release or promotional mailing.

APPRECIATED THANK YOU GIFT. At the push of a button, this sturdy item will hold papers within easy reach. And – cubicle workers will appreciate this – it takes up very little desk space. Far less, in fact, than traditional paperholders. They can help reinforce a message to employees or be used as thank-you gifts or leave-behinds for clients. Available in three translucent colors with two areas (the base and clear plate) for an imprint or logo.

MULTIPLE USE CLIPS. And more pewter. These clips can handle a whole multitude of tasks. They can be attractive money clips or bookmarks, or can be attached to a car visor for a place to stash mail or other papers. And the fact that they’re made of pewter helps ensure your message will be around for several years at least.

VARIETY OF SHAPES AVAILABLE. Available in a variety of shapes, there’s a memo holder here for nearly every industry. Just a few of the available shapes include cube, earth, heart, pig, orange, penguin, rock, fish, hardhat, construction cone, convertible car, pickup truck and fire engine.

NOTE HOLDER THAT’S FUN. Don’t know if it was the manufacturer’s intent, but one look at this Urgent Note Holder quickly evoked memories of the similarly shaped childhood favorite, Weebles. And, just like Weebles, these note holders wobble but they don’t fall down. What they do, however, is securely hold notes and draw attention.
