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.

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 fascinated 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.

***Last UPDATE*** After several redraws (winner declines) the final winner and taker is Trisha.  Congrats Trish, have fun!***

You kids may have read some of JUDY MOODY best-selling book series by Megan McDonald. Now you can catch her on the big screen in the new movie:

Synopsis:

When her best-laid plans for a summer full of fun go comically awry, an imaginative young girl creates her own vacation adventures in Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer. Based on the beloved, bestselling book series by Megan McDonald, Judy Moody and the NOT Bummer Summer is an irresistible and delightfully funny treat for adventure-loving kids and adults.
This summer, Judy Moody is planning the most super-duper, double-rare summer vacation ever with best friends Rocky and Amy. Except that it turns out Rocky is going to circus camp to learn to tame lions, and Amy is headed off to Borneo with her mom to save a lost tribe while Judy stays home with her pesky little brother Stink and second-best friend Frank Pearl.
Just when she thinks things are as rotten as they can be, her parents announce that they will be going to California and Judy will have to stay behind with her Aunt Opal, who she’s never even met! It looks like Judy’s best summer ever has just become her way worst summer ever.
But feisty, fearless and ever-funny Judy Moody never gives up! With help from some unexpected sources, she’s headed for a summer full of surprises in this charming and spirited family film. Get ready, get set, get MOODY!

Preparing for a Zombie Apocalypse or…real natural disasters

The CDC has an article published on their blog. I have to admit it’s very eye catching and interest peaking. The title of the article? Social Media: Preparedness 101 Zombie Apocalypse. I know it sounds crazy but it’s actually a good article. It’s types for a natural disaster: what you should pack, what you should do, etc. But it keeps your attention. 

Here is a link to the post: http://emergency.cdc.gov/socialmedia/zombies_blog.asp
