Happy Holidays from the Magnetic Attractions team.

Magnetic Attractions would like to wish all our promotional magnet fans a happy and safe holiday season. We are always grateful for your trust and support, and we look forward to helping you with your marketing plans in 2016.

But before we flip the calendar magnet to 2016, We thought it would be fun to amaze and astound you with some random and interesting facts about the Christmas season.  (Ok, maybe they aren’t going to amaze or astound, but they may help you sound really smart at the holiday dinner table.)

So, grab yourself some eggnog and a Christmas cookie as we unwrap our 10 Crazy Facts about Christmas. (more…)

I think  most of us can agree that moms know best when it comes to squeezing every nickel out of the family budget.  You also don’t need to be a fan of those reality coupon shows to know moms manage those nickels by using coupons.

But, since this is 2014 not 1984, you might assume that the days of cutting out traditional print coupons has been replaced by their digitial counterpart.   That’s why a recent survey by Womensforum.com caught my eye and gave fresh evidence that print marketing is still alive and well (and maybe why our BigMag coupon mailers are so popular).

According to the Womensforum survey of 2,200 moms – (more…)

I’m looking at my 2013 Calendar Magnet stuck to my file cabinet and it dawns on me that we’re into the month of October.  It seemed like we just celebrated Memorial Day, and now we’re creeping up on Halloween.  Yikes, time flies.  And at that moment, I realized I needed a 2014 Calendar magnet.

Now I’m lucky.  I work for Magnetic Attractions so all I have to do is raid the sample room to get a 2014 Calendar Magnet (the perks of working for a promotional magnet manufacturer).  But without this sample goldmine, I’d be out of luck and staring at an open space on my file cabinet. Talk about a huge marketing opportunity for the really smart local business.

Now, a smart businesses already knows a Calendar Magnets marketing value, and places an order every year.  Then they have something to hand out (more…)

Look out Washington,  Magnetic Attractions’ summer roadtrip is heading to our nation’s capital.  No, we’re not there to take in the Smithsonian , or improve the approval ratings for Congress (like that’s possible).  Instead, we’re bringing our promotional magnets, magnetic mailers and BigMag magnetic postcards to those nonprofit marketers attending the 2013 Bridge to Integrated Marketing Conference.

This is our first year exhibiting at the “Bridge”, and we’re excited to show off our product line, especially our turnkey direct mail offerings, and we’re going to share that excitement with the fundraising pros that stop by booth 327.

Now, I know what you might be mumbling under your breath. “Direct Mail.  Didn’t that die already?”  Well, I’m thrilled to say direct mail isn’t dead.  You know who else is thrilled that direct mail is still a vibrant marketing tool?  Those customers, donors and prospects that like and engage with direct mail campaigns in their mailbox.  According to some recent survey data, you might be surprised at the effectiveness of direct mail in the United States.   (more…)

Who said Every Door Direct Mail only works for delivering coupons for restaurants and pizza parlors.  Jacumin Plaza is a new Magnetic Attractions customer that wanted to use Every Door Direct to promote their “Free Friday Night Movies”.   

Now there are plenty of other vendors they could have used, but  they decided on Magnetic Attractions to handle their Every Door Direct campaign.   I think it’s because we offer something other vendors can’t.  

What is it that can set us apart from other Every Door Direct Mail vendors?

Magnetic Attractions sure will be busy in 2012.

Wow.  where did January go.  It seems like yesterday we were trying to celebrate the holidays while producing the rush of 2012 Calendar Magnets.  Now, we’re delivering the flood of BigMag Magnetic Coupon Mailer orders that washed over us since January 3rd. It’s like all our pizza customers realized at the same time that their pizza marketing will suffer if they didn’t get their coupons out before the big game.  

Anyway, that was January.  As we roll into February, I thought this is the perfect time to update everyone on the news and events happening at Magnetic Attractions this year.       (more…)

For weeks, I was planning on writing a post on the benefits of the BigMag Magnetic Mailer for the pizza delivery game.  I wanted to highlight all the facts that show how magnetic mailers deliver results even in this age of iPads and Smartphones. Instead, I think I’ll share an experience that demonstrates the power of the magnetic postcard better than any statistic or chart.     

Last Friday night was another typical evening in our household.  My wife was working late, so I alone had to navigate the controlled chaos that’s our typical routine – kids at daycare, running kids to baseball and softball practices, and a parking lot for a freeway that pushed the stress meter off the chart.  Finally, at 6:00 I walked in the door to find my wife staring into the refrigerator.  I could tell from her blank stare that dinner wasn’t hiding behind the milk.  So, time to go with plan B.

“How about Pizza.” I said.  I know we have coupons somewhere.” (more…)
