Magnets.com a useful and affordable way to advertise


If you have a business of any kind be it, blog, crafts, your own store, a service you provide, you want to advertise it.  I think most of us try to carry business cards around with us.  Sometimes I wonder though what really happens to the business card after the needed info is placed in an address book or saved as a bookmark on someones computer.  I thought I'd like to have some cute magnets made up but I thought I couldn't afford to do that.



Magnets.com offers lots of custom magnets that can be made into many different shapes, logos, or colors.  From your basic basic magnet to clips, calendars, well there's a lot of clever ideas to choose from.  


I don't know about you but I love those magnetic plastic clips I get on occasion as a promotion item.  I have one on my front door to hang reminder notes or clip a paper that needs to go with me next time I leave the house.  I have really clever magnets with cooking conversions that I've had for years.  I got them for free from a company I ordered something from.  I found them so useful, I keep them around.  Magnets are also an affordable item to offer as a handout when doing PR or public appearances.

Magnets.com sent me a sample pack of some magnets they have done.  I was truly impressed with the quality of the magnets and the creativity behind them.  I took a picture of the ones I received:


Some of them were several pieces so I took them apart just to show you how they were designed.


The one was made like a puzzle.  My toddler is facinated with magnets at this point in life so I'm sure this will be one he can't wait to get his hands on. 

Sometimes when I receive items to review I don't always know the price upfront.  I brace myself because if it's expensive I'm gonna say that.  So I looked over the site and was pleasantly surprised to see the prices on the magnets.  Even the ones that were more dynamic.  For example:  A handy custom kitchen conversion magnet is only 13 cents to 24 cents a piece.  The price varies depending on how many you order.  Of course the more you order, the bigger your savings.  But I thought 13 cents is very reasonable.  You figure if you order 100 of those your only looking at $13.00 plus shipping.  Then you have 100 handy magnets to handout when needed.  Custom business card magnets are only 8 cents to 24 cents a piece.  Custom design is free of charge too!

It's not just small magnets though.  If you were thinking more along the lines of outdoor magnets like car magnets, baseballs or football helmets.  Or they even make magnetic memo boards.
