When many people think of matchbooks, they think of smoking or bars. And while it s true that it used to be pretty commonplace to pick up matchbooks from different bars and they were generally on hand for smokers, promotional matchbooks reach far beyond those narrow niches these days. And just like in years past some people still collect matchbooks, so promotional matchbooks with your business name and logo on them could become a valuable part of someone s collection.
Candles and scented candles are incredibly popular these days, so if your business sells candles and particularly if your business specializes in candles as a main part of your product line promotional matchbooks would be perfect for you! There are even home party programs that sell candles exclusively or as a large part of their business, so personalized matchbooks would be a great way to get this type of business known, too. You could include a couple of books of matches with every candle purchase to help spread the word about your business. People would have one book to keep and another matchbook to share with someone else.
Promotional matchbooks are one of the least expensive promotional products available. At less than 25 cents each, you can afford to buy in bulk and hand them out liberally to customers and potential customers. Of course, you ll want to be sure you don t put them where they can get into the hands of children easily. But other than that caveat, they would work great as a giveaway at trade shows, events, expos, and anywhere you want to get your name out there.
Of course, there s nothing that says you can t leave baskets or handfuls of your promotional matchbooks in places where people are likely to see them and use them either. You can just leave them here and there in places where people might need them, as well. For instance, you could put one near each ashtray in the bars in your area where people can pick them up or ask the bar if you can put a small box or basket filled with them on their counter for their customers to take. Most won t turn away a freebie for their clientele. Almost everyone likes getting something for nothing.
Promotional matchbooks or personalized and customized matchbooks aren t just limited to business use, though. Matchbooks with the bride and groom s name on them or Mr. And Mrs. with the couple s monograms or last name on them are popular for adult wedding favors. Again, you can put them out in the bar area or you can put them on the tables where the adults will be seated.
Similarly, personalized matchbooks could be used for lots of different occasions. How about purchasing a bunch that say Lordy, Lordy, Looks who s 40 with your favorite soon to be 40 year old friend or sibling s name on them and giving them out at the surprise party? You could do something similar for any milestone birthday.
Or what about matchbooks for a bachelor or stag party? Personalize them with the groom s name (Insert Name Here) is no longer available! and hand them out everywhere you go for the bachelor s last hurrah! In fact, the bride and her friends might like to hand them out or a version personalized for her at her bridal shower or pre wedding night out, too.
Once you start thinking about it and let your imagine run wild, you ll discover lots of different reasons or occasions for which you might want to order promotional matchbooks. It s kind of an old fashioned concept in a way. Most people tend to think of other promotional items these days before they think of matchbooks. But there s a reason people collect them. Promotional matchbooks are still a great idea!
