Promotion is considered a secret recipe for success in ANY business, large OR small, because a smart savvy business owner will look for the most widespread means of advertising for the least cost. 

Getting the word out can be difficult but with a product like coasters with a professionally printed message often gets high exposure over a long period of time, sometimes years. Custom coasters are more economical and cheaper then you think, almost comparable to buying high-end business cards. Quality combined with low price and you're getting the biggest bang for your buck. 

Coasters also make great gift items for both your clients as well as your prospective customers at events like trade shows, exhibitions, openings, conferences as well as seminars. The giveaway may find itself back in the office under a coffee cup each morning, a constant subliminal commercial to your target audience. Imagine the referrals. A custom designed coaster with the name of your company, logo, message or contact details imprinted on it is a smart way to advertise your products and services. 

Coasters are a practical mechanism for building brand recognition and customer loyalty. Coasters are a very durable and indeed a useful item which would not be left lying around when the promotional event is over.
