Promotional Journals & Notebooks  

Things to Consider When Purchasing Promotional Notebooks

Promotional notebooks are a versatile advertising medium, applicable as giveaways at trade shows, seminars and student orientations as well as part of larger office gifts. When browsing for custom note pads, consider the following before making your purchase.

1. Binding Style: Some note pads are spiral bound while others are stapled. Elegant, gift-worthy journals are often perfect bound or glued together.

2. Cover Material: Journal covers can be made from a variety of materials from paper to plastic to leather. The type of cover will typically affect your imprint options, so if you are looking for a specific style imprint, such as a deboss, you may need to narrow your search to only leather or faux leather personalized note pads.

3. Paper Included: Do you want ruled lines on your paper? What should the paper be made of? If you’re unsure, request a sample of the entire journal or just the paper inserts so you can get a feel for what you’re ordering.

4. Pen Loops & Bookmarks: If a pen loop and/or bookmark is important to you, be sure to ask about them. If your promotional notebook comes with a pen loop, ask if it also includes a pen or how much it would be to add one to your order. Adding a writing instrument to your promotional notebook helps complete the item and lets people use it right away.
