Custom Rubber Stamps add Personality and a Small Business Feel to Your Communications

 

Rubber stamps can add a great small business look to your marketing materials. Show you’re proud of your small business by not trying to look like a big business and by showing off your products. For example, you can create package headers and labels that look home-spun and rustic to sell your handcrafted jewelry designs or other items.

 

Quality, customized rubber stamps can be ordered easily and cheaply to meet the exact needs of your small business. Self-inking rubber stamps are both convenient and non-messy to use for yourself and your staff.

 

Think beyond address, and “Paid” stamps and create the exact stamps you need. Keep in mind that most rubber stamps work best on matte, non-glossy paper. If you want to use rubber stamps on shiny marketing materials, ask for stamps that contain special inks made to use on glossy papers and cardstock.

 

Custom Rubber Stamps are an Inexpensive Way to Communication Solutions

 

Since you decide what kinds of rubber stamps your small business needs, a customized rubber stamp is a low cost way to meet a specific business communication need. Custom rubber stamps can be used for your paperwork and systems as well as for customer communications.

 

Small business start ups especially may not have a sufficient customer base to justify getting a supply of printed office materials and rubber stamping can add a homespun appeal and fill the gap before ordering pre-printed supplies. You may choose to customize rubber stamps to add to letters and communications such as in a statement like “Ask Us About Our New Mail Box Service”

 

You may also want to try and compel slow paying customers to take action by getting a more creative stamp made than the usual “Past Due” or “Please Remit.” For instance, your custom rubber stamp could read: “Urgent – Please call 555-555-555 now” and many customers may call since you have your company’s phone number right there.

 

Custom Rubber Stamps are Convenient

 

A popular idea for a custom rubber stamp for a small business is the customized signature stamp. A rubber stamp is formed in the exact image of a hand written signature. These are perfect for assistants to stamp onto checks for bank deposits to save time. With a custom rubber signature stamp, the effort of a higher level employee to sign many checks on a regular basis is eliminated and the time saved can be better used for other tasks. Look for high quality signature stamps and add text around the signature if needed.

Using Rubber Address Stamps for a Small Business

   Posted by: admin    in Uncategorized

Stamps for Start Ups

 

Rubber address stamps are perfect for start up and small businesses. The budget is very limited when businesses are just beginning or are very small, plus the location may be temporary. This way, rubber stamps can be used to place the return address on business envelopes and other stationery before the company is established with a more permanent address. Rubber address stamps offer good value for their low cost because a quality self-inking rubber stamp can be used thousands of times before needing re-inking.

 

Small Business Solutions

 

Rubber address stamps can be customized to also include a phone number and/or web address giving small businesses even more value for their money. Self-inking rubber address stamps are also non-messy and convenient to use.

 

A self-inked stamp has a rubber die that hits a built in ink pad when the stamp is pressed. Self-inking rubber address stamps offer an inexpensive and non-messy way to get your company address out there. You can choose from pre-designed business address templates or get a totally custom designed company rubber address stamp. .

 

Inexpensive Promotion

 

Small businesses can maximize the use of their quality rubber address stamps by using a little imagination. Not only are these stamps great for getting the company address on brochures and product information, but you can stamp the company name and address onto employee name tags for special community events.

 

You can also stamp the inside front of cards and other materials you send to clients. You may also want to add a sales pitch to your rubber address stamp such as: For great value go to: www.brobeckshoes.com  Be creative and choose interesting colors and fonts – but at the same time make sure the look and style made by your rubber address stamps suits your business and its branding.

Customers Appreciate Being Appreciated

 

It’s no secret that customers like to be thanked for their business and appreciate knowing that a company they’ve dealt with for years really values having them as a customer. Something as simple as “Thank you for your business” or “We care about customer service” placed stylishly on an attractive pen can help retain a current customer.

 

Studies show it cost much less to retain present customers than acquire new customers. You could even create a mail promotion with a customer appreciate theme and include a complimentary promo pen showing in the envelope window. Customer promotions are a good way to encourage repeat business.

 

Special Pens for Special Customers

 

Since there are so many styles of customized pens available today, you can find the perfect ones to suit all your promotions. Try an easy to hold curved style or a brightly colored ball point pen with your company information on it to get attention in your mailings.

 

You can also order specially engraved elegant pens for gifts for special customers. This is a wonderful way to show you care about your long term clients. Choose a design that promotes your company, but that is designed with your important customer in mind. You want your client to remember you for their business needs.

 

You may want an elegant metal pen engraved and personalized for your customer. Or, you may want a more useful pen such as one that is also a flashlight, but that is also personalized for your client – perhaps in a colorful, attractive design.  

 

Customized Pens Are Used

 

Even in our computer oriented society, pens are still used daily by many people. They fit easily into briefcases and purses and are convenient to have on hand for writing notes in the home and even in the car. It’s easy and inexpensive to get your company name and contact information placed onto attractive promotional pens.

 

You can add your website address and some promotional text as well in many cases. As long as the pens feel good in the hand, are reasonably attractive and write smoothly without skipping or leaving blobs of ink, most people tend to keep promotional pens and use them daily. Handing out customized pens to clients is a great way to keep your company information conveniently in front of your customers.
