Make It Relevant. Make It Functional

There’s more than one kind of person , so no prizes for guessing, there’s more than one way use…and make a diary or a notebook.

Create a diary or calendar that suits the level of detail your customer needs day-to-day .

Make your diaries in A4, or A5 sizes. Make desk-sized or pocket-sized notebooks. There’s always more than one option.

For example…

• Some of us just need diaries with lots of room for fitting in dates, multiple appointments and reminders. 
• Maybe you know someone who just needs lots of notebook space for meetings? Busy creatives may like A4 diary – notebook combos with one page for appointments and another for notes, minutes and ideas.
• Know any super creatives? They may not need lines at all.  Think of all the doodling and mind-mapping they’re fond of doing.
• Consider adding helpful information such as key company and event dates World Maps, Luas and Dart maps for example.

Main thing to remember:

know who you’re giving these corporate gifts to.  Make it work for them and a branded gift worth hanging on to.

Think about those add-ons like tabs, bookmarks, pen holders and elastic closure bands for keeping your place.
