Case Study ReviewIT Accounts

Drinks coasters or Drinks mats are a brilliant way to advertise your business service or products.

A recent example would be a new business who used a printed drinks mat as an alternative to a business card for exhibiting at an exhibition.

The benefits of this choice is that you are offering something of use. This results in a greater chance that the visitor will retain and therefore remember your business. You can also add more advertising scope on the coaster.

In the example, the client used a QR code to take the prospect to the website and a special, discounted deal.

The coaster was recently used for promoting a new software application for accountants.

The business opted for a renewable option. The coaster was printed on paper board and then backed on traditional cork. This option was an alternative to plastic or other less environmental options, while printing on plastic gave a high quality print finish in colour depth and clarity.
