get them to keep the card on their fridge the longest?

Yearly calendar?
Kitchen weights and measures
Cute baby animals?
Coupons for each month?
An autographed pic of Ken Snow in vinyl chaps?


I'm going to use this company (who will be advertising here soon) to print and mail our annual February sale card.

With the Stick It feature on the 9 x 6 card I want them to hang on to it long after our sale is over.


gimmie some idea that have worked for you, please...

I have a magnet that stays on for over a decade.

It's an emergency number magnet.

911, Poison control, Police non emergency, The White House...

And of course my number larger for cleaning emergencies.


You could just say , Stick this card on your fridge or give it to a friend.

I doubt it will stay on the fridge. I get one from a printing service every year and I keep it in/on/around/under my desk at the office. This year's card was folded with a perforation, one card has Christmas greeting/mailing info and the other has the calendar/ company contact info. The calendar side is what I wanted, but I have no incentive to call them.

Boe-ring!

Yeah, like a "Free" service.
Something like a free room or sofa or something.
Maybe like a tile cleaning half off, but sealing is full price and required.

I'd keep that one.

Please be sure that it reads "Keep this handy/useful/etc post card on your fridge" This is as important as your call to action in an advertisement, because they will know where to place it. Be sure you sign it.

Howz about full frontal nudity?

The thing that will keep you around is something funny or thought provoking, Ken Snow in vinyl chaps might work?

I say, let me take care of this for you and give you a good magnet.

Then I stick their magnets in the cab of my truck for my collection.

To stay on their fridge, some sort of picture frame for kids or grandkids, Note reminder board, groc need list board, as mentioned emergency number

Just had a brain fart, that new print co make a 2 sided card side 1 your ad and other bs including the pull to expose sticky strip. Side 2 Cell phone list everyone has their own phone number now I know I have them on my cell but if i am talking to someone and they want someone elses number I have to hang up lookand call the back, Having a central located board with all my kids, grandkids and close contacts cell number in my kitchen would stay and be helpful. Just farting

Should I really give away my biggest secret when it comes to fridge magnets??

There is really only 1 very important thing that will keep that maget from being taken down.

Very simple.....The "duh" factor will hit as soon as I type it in.....NO, I'm not kidding....But you might think I am.
















































Make sure you make a fridge magnet that is simple AND......Has a powerful enough magnet that it will actually hold something up.

Weak magnets get tossed...STrong magnets that are used to hold other things tend to "stick" around because they serve that "day to day" purpose.

Hellure?

Oh, and a letter opener with a magnet is great for the office

Pay no attention to the WRONG phone number (proof read your phone numbers people :lol: )

The calendar is a no, Weights and measures....maybe. I would use it. Adorable pic of animals, might be kept just because it's cute. Strong magnet for holding up other stuff is a definite plus. I like that the stick-it's will cling on any surface, so not just a magnet. I did very well with simple van magnets. Letter openers rarely get used, pens get lost or die, door hangers are a nuisance.

Take care,
Lisa
