Custom printed notepads are beneficial for businesses of all sizes and types – from large corporations to self-employed graphic designers and creatives. Not only are they helpful for productivity and staying on top of tasks, but they’re also an underrated outreach marketing tool. Both small notepads or larger, more popular size notepads 8.5 x 11 or 5×8 can be a multifunctional tool for your company.
Why Should I Print Custom Notepads for My Business?
Let’s take a look at all the reasons you should invest in business notepads.
1. Easily Enhance Brand Awareness
Passing out a notepad with your company’s logo to employees and clients alike is a simple way to achieve brand visibility without doing much. Because it’s a useful tool, whoever has their hands on one will see your company branding every time they use it, which means there will always be a reference point back to your business.
2. Encourage Organization
Believe it or not, in the age of smartphones, we still rely on paper to jot down notes or make lists. Notepads encourage planning and organizing daily, weekly, or even monthly tasks.
3. Always in Demand
Notepads are popular because they are practical and will always be useful to have on hand in both home and office scenarios. We think the only way custom stationery will truly become obsolete is when writing utensils like pens, pencils, etc no longer exist. And frankly, that’s not happening any time soon.
4. Great giveaway item
Whether you have purchased a booth at an upcoming tradeshow, or like to create freebies for your valued clients, notepads make for a great giveaway item. You can either make the design focused on your company branding, or you can get more creative, and have your business name or logo subtly placed somewhere within the design. This goes back to our first point about how notepads can easily increase your brand visibility.
Types of Notepads to Create
Company Branded Notepads
Creating a custom business notepad is as simple as adding your company logo to it. Printing this piece of branded collateral in bulk will come in handy for a plethora of different occasions, from employee onboarding to client appreciation gifts, and even giveaway items at trade shows and other business events.
Daily/Weekly Planners
These types of memo pads help people get organized and on track with a new routine! Notepad planners are great because once you’re done with the day or the week, you can simply tear off the page (and recycle it!) and start fresh for the next day or week.
Graphic Design Notepads (to Sell for Profit)
You don’t need to be a graphic designer to create & sell custom notepads –Creative individuals, such as calligraphers, can just as easily create digital versions of their work as notepad designs to sell for profit. A simple and cute notepad design attracts more people than you think. Giving customers yet another item to purchase with your unique artistic touch is something they’ll look forward to.
It can also be beneficial to create and design niche planners, such as project planning notepads, shopping list notepads, and reminder list notepads. You can also keep it simple and create minimalistic lined notepads, color notepads, or pattern notepads.
