In the business world, advertising is an important and on-going project. Without proper advertising and marketing, it typically is not possible for a small business to become well known enough to meet its financial needs. Each year, business owners spend millions on billboards, TV ads, radio ads, and direct mailing materials only to still fall short of their goals. The truth is, these methods do not attract as many customers as they use to. Today, people are presented with so many advertisements on a daily basis that they have become desensitised. As a result, it must be unique in order to be truly effective. Even at trade shows or other venues where individuals are looking for businesses to meet their needs, it is important to have a campaign that sets you apart from the other companies. In recent years, promotional note pads have proven to be a very effective tool.
As a customised piece, note pads are very affordable, and they can be found in a number of different sizes and styles. What sets them apart from other branded materials such as brochures or ads on billboards or the TV is that they are actually useful to the potential customers. Instead of just offering a message, note pads offer a real purpose. As a result, people are much less likely to throw them away. Instead, they will probably use them on a regular basis, and each time they take the note pad out, they will see your name or logo right on the front cover. Depending upon the style, your organisation may be presented on the individual pages as well, which leads to even more opportunities. In this case, not only will the person writing on the pad be reminded of your organisation, but whoever looks at the pad will see it as well. In turn, each note pad can lead to several possible leads and opportunities.
At GoPromotional, we carry a large variety of note pads as well as other paper products. They are of the highest quality, and available in a number of different sizes and styles. Very affordable, and all are designed to prominently display your information. No matter what style you choose, products from GoPromotional can serve as very effective eye catching materials, and they can attract numerous
new clients.
The A5 Notepad is our most ordered pad by a distance, and it is the size most people mean when they ask for a branded notepad. A few other favourites:
A4 Notepad – the roomier option, with plenty of sheets for meetings and training days.
A6 Notepad – a handy pocket size, popular in hotels, receptions and surgeries, and the one people choose for the biggest runs.
A5 Recycled Notepad – the same everyday size in recycled paper.
To discuss your specific requirements further, simply give our friendly team a call on 0800 0148 970.
As a general rule the minimum order is 100 notepads, though it varies by product: a number of lines start at 250, including the larger A3 and A2 desk pads. The exact figure is shown on each product detail page. For larger runs, give us a call and we will check current stock and pricing for you.
Many of our notepads can be dispatched within 48 hours of your final artwork approval, and most others are branded within 5 working days. If you are working to an event deadline, tell your account manager the date and we will do our best to make it.
Yes, to both. We can send you a free sample to make sure you are 100% happy before production – most samples are free of charge, though for some higher-valued items we may have to charge. And once you decide to proceed, we will email a free proof, typically the same day, for you to approve before your notepads go to print.
The unit price falls as the quantity rises, and there is a set-up charge per order to personalise your notepads. Both are shown on the individual product detail page, along with live price breaks. Simple A6 and A5 pads start from a few pence each in larger quantities; mid-range A4 and covered pads sit higher; and premium and recycled options higher again. We check our prices daily, and if you find the same notepad cheaper elsewhere, just let us know: we will match, and usually beat, the price.
Yes. Our extensive selection of personalised notepads can be printed in full colour using the very latest UltraHD™ print technology, which is ideal for detailed or photographic logos, and many also offer multi-colour options. Please see the product detail page for the print options available on each notepad.
Email your logo and imprint details to your dedicated account manager once you are happy with your notepad quotation. The files we prefer are EPS, AI and PDF vector formats, though JPG and PNG can sometimes be accepted, so please send the highest resolution file you have available. Production requires artwork to be at least 150 dpi at print size; if the resolution is too low to convert we may have to redraw it, which could add a small charge. For file formats, resolution and print-ready tips, see our artwork guidelines.
In practice, yes. "Promotional notepads", "branded notepads" and "personalised notepads" all describe the same thing: a notepad printed with your logo to hand out or gift. "Branded" leans on the logo, "promotional" on the marketing use, but you will find the same products under each. Whichever term you searched, you are in the right place.
