Wedding favor Post-it notes

Should I be mad or flattered or both? My press, Carlson Craft, has been so impressed with the number of personalized wedding favor Post-it notes I sell, and the variety offered on my website, that they are coming out with a new brochure next week to help other Carlson Craft dealers market Post-it notes as wedding favors. I haven't seen it yet, but it is my understanding that they are very basic designs with just names and dates on them. Until now they had not done a very good job marketing their personalized Post-it notes as favors or as much at all on the "social printing" end of the business. For the last four months or so they offered some plain white with black print and a verse personalized Post-it notes in their wedding album, but almost nobody orders those when they see the other options available on my site. These are the only wedding Post-it notes you can find on Google, besides mine.

Their printed Post-it note marketing person called me six months ago to chat about my custom Post-its site and say how impressed she was with my marketing and all the ideas for using printed Post-it notes I had. Now I know what she's done with it...

Whatever ideas they give other dealers, nobody will be able to match our design options, selection, and most of all our service and our ability to use custom graphics at "standard format" Post-it note pricing. So I guess I shouldn't worry too much...for now."Carnation pink wedding favor Post-it noteMeant to bee wedding favor Post-it note

press releases and uses for handwritten Post-it notes

http://www.theopenpress.com/index.php has a few of our press releases, as does http://prweb.com. Interesting to see if anything comes of it.

Customer uses for Post-its constantly amaze and amuse me. I just had an inquiry from a sorority girl wanting to get some with an elephant on them for her roommate. Hmmm, not sure I would want to live with her...

Our custom Post-its are perfect for your mailings
The handwritten Post-it notes are really taking off, in both blue and red ink. It is amazing how realistically handwritten they look. There was an ad campaign in Sweden of all places that used actual handwritten Post-it notes placed on public phones and mailboxes all over to advertise scuba lessons; they should have had us print their handwriting on Post-its and saved a lot of time! Most of the handwritten ones we sell are either for real estate people wanting to get potential customer's attention or for advertising/fundraising campaigns.
