October 7, 2009 Sell This Product - Holiday OrnamentsFiled under: Sell This Product Custom, brass bookmarks and ornaments are valuable keepsakes at a low cost. With the holiday season approaching, gift giving will be on a lot of people’s minds, if it isn’t already. With money concerns in the current economy, it would be ideal to give a premium gift at a not-so-premium price. Leslie Greenberg, sales and marketing manager for Marbex Inc. (asi/68708), has a suggestion for such a present that is available from her company: a PageMarker bookmark. “For the price of a Mother’s Day card, you get a completely custom gold- or rhodium-plated, etched bookmark — on a custom duplex card bearing your client’s message,” she says. Instead of imprinting a logo on a bookmark or building on a pre-manufactured blank, Marbex can take a company’s actual logo or any other image and turn them into metal bookmarks with custom etching. The supplier can then use duplex card stock and metallic inks to create a card that can include a client’s message and contact information as a package for the custom bookmark. Greenberg says the bookmarks can be mailed without extra postage. “For universities, hospitals and non-profits that often send donor recognition gifts or solicitations by mail, this is a huge advantage,” she says. Bookmarks make universally appreciated gifts that can be used regularly by everyone, keeping the client’s name in front of the recipient to serve its promotional function, but do so in a stylish way. The PageMarker is also seen as a valuable keepsake. “There’s no denying the ‘wow’ factor,” says Greenberg. “They are elegantly packaged, beautifully designed and etched, and unforgettable — yet they only look expensive.” The supplier also offers totally custom-etched and plated-brass holiday ornaments, which are perfect for this time of year. They are pre-strung, with a folded custom gift card, and packaged in a black velvet bag. HOW TO CREATE YOUR CUSTOM-DESIGNED PAGEMAKER BOOKMARKER OR ORNAMENT 1. Working from your camera-ready artwork, Marbex will work with you to create a custom-made gift, using your building, logo, or relevant symbol – regardless of shape.
