There
is an American Legion Post in our town. Every year they hold a silent
auction to benefit local children's charities. As you can imagine,
promoting the auction is really important to its' success.
Being veterans, they like to include the American flag in their
promotions. One of the older guys a WW2 vet, is always concerned about
using the flag in their artwork - her just doesn't want to see the flag
(even a picture of it) be dropped to the ground or soiled. That's cool.
Here's the way we used custom magnets called save the date magnets to accomplish their promotional goals . . .
We
selected digitally printed save the date magnets so that our custom
magnet design could include included a really vivid picture of our flag
and the date and location of the auction.
We picked custom magnets rather than fliers or buttons or bumper
stickers because we knew that the newer custom magnet materials stick
well. A custom magnet with the flag on it will stay stuck to the fridge
and not fall down to the floor. Also, the new custom magnet materials
we selcted (see http://www.my1stop.com/save-the-date-magnets.aspx for
examples) are printed so that they can be wiped clean if soiled. We met
the "respect for the flag" requirement by designing a promotional
custom magnet that would not fall tot he ground and could be cleaned up
if soiled.
We appreciate the respect for the flag and the service our veterans
have provided. Next time you need to promote a special date, think
about save the date magnets and using our flag if possible.
