Promotional Sticky Notes And Charity?

They are useful and handy to have around, so your customers are more likely to use and appreciate your promotional sticky notes, and more likely than ever to see your name and number everywhere they jot a note – how can they resist giving you a call?

Knowing this, you have taken your promotional sticky notes to every event that your company has sponsored or participated in lately, and have handed them out to everyone in the vicinity, generating new business through the spread of your company name and information.  You’ve included them in your mailers to potential customers and former customers to bring them in for more business, and have distributed them to people at the office, too.  So what should you do if you still have plenty of promotional sticky notes left over?

Donating promotional sticky notes to charitable organizations might seem like a silly maneuver, but if you think about it, nonprofits and charity organizations need office supplies just as much as they need cash donations or other items – after all, the cost of office supplies must come out of donations before the nonprofit can actually get down to the business of helping people. 

Donating your extra promotional products to a charitable organization is a great way to do some good for the community and earn recognition for your donations at the same time, even if it is only recognition with the office staff of the charity.  The office staff will be able to use your promotional products at work, thus exposing them frequently to your company’s name and information. 

Your name and information will also be passed along to anyone who gets a document from the charity with one of your promotional sticky notes attached, and they will be even more likely to use your services knowing that you support the local charities.  Some office workers might even take supplies home, exposing their spouses and a whole other group of people to your company name and logo. 

Just about any kind of organization can use promotional sticky notes, from the local food bank (they do have records to keep) to your local schools.  Call ahead to find out if they have any need for office products, and gain yourself some bonus points in their eyes by including promotional pens, plain printer paper, or other office supplies that the organization might make use of.  This will help them feel more comfortable in using your promotional sticky notes without feeling like they are just being treated as a billboard, which is as it should be. 

Promotional printed sticky notes are a great way to generate new business and to keep your company’s name and information available to the masses.  Once you have used every avenue of normal marketing distribution that you can think of and the “market”, as it were, is saturated, look for non traditional ways of distribution like handing your promotional sticky notes off to local charities and schools.  You will feel good about doing a good thing, and your company will benefit.
