With so many fantastic custom notebooks to choose from, how do you select the right one? Let's take a look at some questions that might help you make the best decision.
Budget
What is the budget for your upcoming project? How many notebooks will you need? If you need 1,000 and your budget is $3500, you'll need to select a custom notebook in the $3 to $3.50 range. This will limit your options, and make your selection fast and easy.
Art
Is your art single color, several colors, or a 4-color process print? Most often a single color or simple 2 color line art can be used for debossed notebooks. Your company logo may be color specific, in which case, you'll need to go with a color imprint. Maybe your logo is not enough. Perhaps you want to express your vision or goals for the year. The imprint area size varies greatly from one custom journal to the next.
Style
What is your company all about? What is the event all about? Are you a cutting edge technology company that needs to convey modern and trendy styles? Are you a financial institution like a bank and need to portray your conservative and solid foundation? When choosing your corporate gift, be sure it reflects your company.
Along with considering your company image, also consider the recipient of the notebook gift. If it's for a student - it better be cool. If it's a seminar for wealthy seniors - think about the type of notebooks and journals they would appreciate. Are they primarily men, or women, or a mix? Our selection will offer exactly what you're looking for.

Custom Notebook Case Studies
Let's take a look at a few stories from our clients . . .
It was an executive board meeting held just prior to the annual meeting. The financial institution needed a notebook that would not only reflect the success of the company but could be shipped quickly. They went with the Premier Leather Large
Notebook JJO424, with its classic design, and the Quick-Ship convenience. They were pleased too, that it had an important contacts page, and a 3 year calendar inside.
The college event was expected to have 2,000 attendees, but their budget was limited. They went with the economical Spiral Notebook JJO450, with its durable polypropylene cover, lined pages, a pen loop, and bright colors. The students loved it.
The sales team meeting met to kick off the New Year. They gave each salesperson a case of notebooks as a gift for their clients. They chose the Recycled Spiral with Pen Set JJO389. It has a great look, includes a pen, and was a great price. On top of that, it's made from recycled materials, and many of their clients are continually searching for eco-friendly products. It was the perfect promotional gift.
