Bookmarks are must haves for the bookworms! Understanding this business owners are using bookmarks as one of the tools for promoting their business. To get the desired promotion from bookmarks you have got pay a lot of attention to their design and layout. Though these appear to be small pieces of paper but they have huge marketing scope.

  • Shape: Though rectangular bookmarks with standard dimensions such as 2”X6”, 2”X7” and 2”X8” bookmarks but there is nothing wrong in making a triangular, or any other shaped bookmark. So be a touch difference from the rest.
  • Pictures: There are many people who get carried away and use flashy images. While selecting a picture you have to take into account. Firstly, the bookmark should not have flashy images, this will make the promotional material look unprofessional. Secondly, the pictures have to be high resolution ones so that they do not smudge on printing.

  • Text: Content always determines what effect the bookmark will create on the recipient’s mind. So header should be catchy and this should be followed by some of the features of the product or service. Contact details are a must in the text of this business material.
  • Logo and Company Name: The logo should of course be inserted at the top of the bookmark and it should be followed by the company name.  Logo should be clear and more eye catching then the rest of content in the bookmark.
