Decorate your fridge with a personalised magnet

Vistaprint UK — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 19:24:51 +0000

Some people collect them, and one British man apparently had more than 3,500 of them by the end of last year… You may associate buying magnets with holidays abroad and souvenirs, but have you ever thought of creating your own personalised magnets?

If you have a company:

Think about how many times a day you see your fridge. And then think about ordering magnets as marketing for your company, and giving them out to your clients and potential customers. Magnets are practical and therefore have more chance of staying stuck to a fridge than ending up in the bin! Make sure your logo, contact details and any other useful information is on the magnet.

If you are looking for a gift:

Magnets really are practical for sticking little notes or shopping lists to the fridge, but you could add a personal touch that would make it a lovely little gift for someone. Try putting on a favourite recipe, a special message or quotation, or even a special photo. A personalised magnet can make an original gift which is decorative and useful at the same time.

For you:

Choose your favourite holiday photo to make you smile, or put all the important dates for your family, or leave a love note for your husband or wife… You’re certain not to forget those important notes if they are stuck to your fridge with a personalised magnet!

Save the date magnets can help to reserve your guests

Vistaprint UK — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 10:18:17 +0000

If you’re getting married this year, then you will no doubt be well on your way to making those all important preparations and booking everything from the venue to the catering.

But none of this is any good unless you have your friends and family there to enjoy it with you. And you might find that if you don’t give them plenty of notice, then some of your guests won’t be able to come as they might already have plans.

For example, you might find that some of your guests have already booked a holiday on your wedding date and they therefore can’t attend your wedding.

But if you send out save the date magnets, then your guests will have a really practical reminder of your wedding date.

Save the date magnets come in a huge range of designs and you can choose one that best suits your style of wedding. These are really useful because guests can simply stick the magnet to the fridge for a constant reminder of the date. They will then know not to book holidays or any other commitments around this time.

Refrigerator Magnets and Art

Vistaprint — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:31:18 +0000

Is there anything special I can have printed on refrigerator magnets?

Your little Picasso has come home with yet another art masterpiece to hang on the fridge. As you shift around the art that is already hanging up on the fridge to try to find room for the new work, you realise that there are two or three pieces that have been hanging up for quite a while. For some reason, you just can’t bear to put them in the memory box with the other old pieces, but that fridge sure is getting crowded. Then, you notice the business magnet hanging nearby and it gives you an idea. Why not use VistaPrint’s custom design option to reproduce the best work on refrigerator magnets? It will be so much easier to display in the smaller size and the original pieces will be protected from all the grime and dirt that can coat every surface in the kitchen within minutes.

Another great reason to use fridge magnets to duplicate artwork is that it is really easy to share your child’s best work with all the other relatives. A set of your child’s colorful pictures that is reproduced on magnets is sure to be a hit on Mother’s Day, birthdays and other family related holidays.

Every year, you mark the seasonal merchandise down to 50% off. Every year, you make a sign announcing the sale. Every year, someone tells you how cute it is that little Johnny is helping you out in the store by making signs. Not this year, though. This year, your sign making skills will not be needed, because you are ordering professionally printed Magnetic Signs from VistaPrint. Now, you are going to be able to clear out those singing Santas and candy hearts without giving your store a yard sale ambience!

Magnetic signs are also great for a wide range of other store tasks, especially if your shelving is made with a magnetic material. A few other uses for magnetic signs include:

Creating legible store notices and policies. Bolt a magnetic board to a wall by the cash register and you will be able to easily stick any magnetic sign you design on the board.

Making shelf labels and directional signs. If you don’t have any metal surfaces, there’s an easy solution that lets you use these professional looking signs. Use magnetic tape to transform surfaces that aren’t magnetic into spaces that can easily hold your new signs.

VistaPrint – Magnets That Stick Around

Vistaprint — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 20:55:30 +0000

Is there an option for magnets that will make customers excited to keep them?

You want to print up some magnets that are bigger than the business card magnets you’ve been giving out because you really want to catch people’s eyes when they see the magnets on the fridge. However, you’re a bit afraid that they’ll only keep the magnets for a short time. Isn’t there a way to make people more likely to keep them around for several months or even a year?

One way to make it pretty likely that customers will keep those magnets hanging for a year is to design calendar magnets. VistaPrint has a calendar magnet template that makes the design process almost effortless. To customise magnets for your business, you should:

Consider utilizing the message line to remind customers what your business is all about. For example, a company that has been operating for many years may want to say, “Happily serving Any Town residents for over 15 years.”
Change the text font and colour to suit your business. For example, a child related business may want to opt for a font like Big Limbo, which has a fun, childlike feel.
Think about adding a small image to the calendars. Be sure you choose an image that is related to the business.
