Branded notebooks are great promotional items for all kinds of businesses. Small enough to fit in a promotional goodie bag, cheap to order in bulk and so universal that you know they’ll get used, ordering custom notebooks from DiscountMugs is a no-brainer - whatever the size or scope of your company.

However, with so many different styles, sizes and binding materials to choose from, businesses often face a paralysis of choice when it comes to picking the right branded notebook. From portfolio pads to ring-bound notepads and hardcover journals, there are an array of possibilities to choose from.

The right kind of merchandise for your business will depend on a number of factors, including your niche, target audience and the intended purpose of the item. To help you choose the right custom notebook for your brand, here are some popular uses for these items:

Office stationery

Most business leaders understand the impact of branded stationary, which is why custom notebooks are often used in offices. With our selection of lined and plain notebooks, as well as portfolios, jotters, and journals, there is a solution for every kind of business. Take your notes to the next level with our jotter pads with sticky flags, or make sums easy with our calculation companion jotters.

If you work in the creative industry, you might consider using our leather-bound portfolios to present your designs and artwork to clients. Alternatively, our pocket-sized journals are perfect for reporters, while organizers present an all-purpose solution for busy individuals and even students.

Promotional items

Looking for giveaway items that appeal to a wide range of consumers? Notepads are a universal need, which is what makes them so effective. Print a jotter, spiral notebook, or padfolio with your logo or company information, and each time it is used you’ll create a branding impression that sticks.

Many of our notepads are small enough to fit in goodie bags, and are cheap to buy in bulk. Choose from a range of colors and designs to find a notebook that best promotes your business.

Personal and corporate gifts

A customized journal is the perfect gift for someone who loves to write. Alternatively, you could print a batch of notebooks with a memorable quote or image to use as unique wedding favors or graduation gifts. Perhaps you’re looking to show your clients a token of your appreciation? A branded notebook will not only be well received (helping you build professional relationships), but it will also serve your marketing mission to get your brand noticed.

Incentives and giveaways

Are you launching a new website? If so, you’ll want to get people to sign up. The best way to collect email addresses and subscribers is to include an “opt-in” button on your site. However, many people are reluctant to sign up for regular updates unless there is an incentive. Branded journals or notebooks make the perfect incentive items, as they’re widely used and appreciated, but won’t blow your marketing budget.  

Our Bari notebooks come designed with a wood-grain surface and free pen. These pads are ideal for incentive gifts, as they’re neutral enough to appeal to people of all ages and genders. However, you can make them your own by uploading a full-color image, logo, or design.

Educational tools

Pupils get through a lot of notebooks during a typical school year, so it makes sense to provide branded study tools that tie them to your establishment. Not only will this create a sense of belonging and loyalty, but it also creates opportunities to promote your school or college.

Students also have a lot on their minds, so it’s not uncommon for them to forget their study tools when they turn up for classes and lectures. Therefore, branded stationery and study tools can also be sold from student union stores or on-campus for students who need them.

Custom notebook styles and types

At DiscountMugs, we stock a variety of notebook styles to appeal to all customer demographics. Our popular styles include:

Coordinator spiral notebooks

These spiral notebooks are incredibly handy. Not only are they small enough to fit in a pocket or bag, but it’s easy to rip pages out, plus there’s an elastic loop that holds most standard pens. Available in black, royal blue, or gray, these notepads are easy to customize with your office or school logo. What’s more, with a Polypropylene, multi-color front cover that protects your papers, they’re durable, too.

Tucson ivory journals

These medium journals are lined for easy note taking, with a pen loop, elastic closure, and back expandable pocket. The gold ribbon marker makes it easy for you to find your page, and the smart front cover will make a great impression on your clients or customers. We can emboss your text or logo onto the cover of your journal for an elegant finish. Perfect for graduation gifts, wedding favors, or up-market promotional items, these Tucson journals are not to be missed.

Composition padfolios

For something a little more sophisticated, opt for the full-package with our personalized composition padfolios. With a lined writing pad, interior slip pocket, integrated business card slot, and elastic pen loop, there is plenty of room for all your business essentials.
