CD Stix

Say goodbye to fridge magnet promotions.

I received some samples the other day of a interesting product called CD Stix. They are a unique new idea, similar to fridge magnets except they are much more high tech.

They are simply a little holder about the size of a loonie (for all you people south of the border that is a Canadian dollar) that you can stick onto the side of your computer or computer desk. You then stick a CD onto it... and it very nicely "stix" there until you need it! I find them quite useful, in that now I don't have to always fiddle with those jewel cases anymore. The CDs are hanging there handy.

Okay, you want to know how they are beneficial for promotion uses? Each CD Stix has a company name, website address and logo printed on it. Every time I sit down at the computer I see an ad for AT&T. I believe I have even visited their website as a result.

I have compared prices, as well, and they seem to be generally cheaper than fridge magnets.

If you have been wanting to do some offline promotion, this could be an excellent method. Of course, although they are cheaper than fridge magnets, they still are more expensive than banner advertisements, for example. But then, these are permanent.

Have a look at what the company calls "Permanent Internet Banner Ads". There are some good pictures on the site, as well, so you can get a better idea of what they look like.

Visit CD Stix.
