Promotional mouse pads make a great choice for marketing your business for several reasons:

1. Imprinted mouse pads get your company logo in front of current and potential customers regularly whenever they use their computers.
2. Mouse pads are durable, practical items that your customers can actually use.
3. Thin marketing mouse pads can be mailed with orders or alone for the fraction of the cost of other marketing products.

Today’s technology has made it easy to create customized mouse pads that include whatever information or words of wisdom you want to leave with customers. With the information at their fingertips, you’ll be the first business that they contact about their needs.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Put your company information on marketing mouse pads

Whether you use your company logo, photos related to your business or great artwork, you'll want to include company contact information on your custom mouse pads. You'll get more business if this information is readily available to people when they need it, rather than making them search for it because your imprinted mouse pads just have a company logo. Keep in mind that you can easily tuck a phone number or email address into a corner of your promo mouse pad.

I recommend: Hire a logo designer to create an attention-grabbing design that you can use not only on promotional mouse pads but on other items as well. Create your own company logo with one of the Logo Creator Software editions. Put your company logo on one of E-Mousepads many options, including the black memory foam mouse pad.

Look for unusual shapes, textures and designs

The better your marketing mouse pads look, the more likely people are to use them. The more people use them, the more they'll be reminded of your business. Having a great design or something else that captures people's interest will pay off in more sales.

I recommend: Feel the softness with one of A Better Idea’s velvet touch mouse pads or try a round mouse pad from EPromos. Let your customers customize the logo mouse pad they receive from you with a frame window mouse pad. Special effect mouse pads will grab attention and get you more business.

Order thin promo mouse pads for shipping with orders or mailing to customers

Thin, light logo mouse pads make the perfect promotional gift to ship with orders. Their light weight means that you won't pay extra for shipping and their size means that they slip easily into packing boxes.

I recommend: Mail an ultra thin mouse pad to your customers or try an ultra thin promotional mouse pad from USImprints. Save money on your promotional budget with Barely There ultra thin mouse pads from DigiSpec.

Check quantity minimums and other restrictions before ordering personalized mouse pads

Some promotional mouse pad companies require a minimum order or have other restrictions and costs. You'll also want to be sure that you have the right to use particular images or artwork before ordering your mouse pads. If you purchase images from a stock agency, double check to be sure that your license for the image includes use on items like marketing mouse pads.

I recommend: Request a quote for the number of mouse pads you want to order from companies like Mousepads.com or Branders. Look for deals when ordering in larger quantities from promotional companies like Promos On-Time.
