Mini books.

Or, “My solution to the promotion dilemma.”

I finally came up the perfect (handmade) promotional item! It incorporates my designs, it’s functional, cute, and inexpensive. Ta-da!

I scanned some of my stitched notecards and printed parts of the designs on cardstock, which I then used as the covers for these little single-signature booklets (Littleput Books has a great tutorial on making these), perfect for jotting down a phone number, a short shopping list, a quick note-to-self. They’re about the size of a business card, and I printed my URL on the back. I plan to give these out like I would a business card at craft shows, and include them (with business cards, too) when I ship orders. And I’m putting them in these adorable little envelopes (which I purchased from Schoollocker on Etsy–she has TONS of great supplies for all kinds of projects). I decorated the envelopes with a fern stamp.

So, whatcha think? I’d love to hear what you use for promotional giveaways, too.
