Ten Promotional Uses for Plastic Cards

Prepaid cards are a great way for brands and companies to market their name. Plastek Cards recently released a list of ten ways that companies could use plastic cards to further promote themselves and their brands.

  • Business cards. While many people use the traditional business card printed on card stock, nothing about their card really stands out except any colors or images. Make business cards stand out by printing it in high quality plastic that is both durable and strong.
  • Membership Cards. If companies require a membership, consider having plastic membership cards instead of paper cards. Membership cards can be printed on plastic that be punched when members come into the business or purchase items in the store.
  • Gift Cards. For the holidays, can create customized gift cards on durable plastic. Plastic cards can be printed on one side with business information - logo, location, etc. - and the other side can include strips to write who it's to, who it's from, and how much the gift card is worth.
  • Loyalty Cards. To reward frequent purchasers, consider giving them a loyalty card that gives them a certain percentage discount every time they buy from the company or business. Consider having a "Share Your Loyalty Day" and have them bring in friends for discounts on certain days.
  • Key Access Cards. If certain business has doors that require keys for in/out access, consider switching to a key card access. Company logos can be printed on one side, and the magnetic stripe for in/out access can be printed on the other.
  • Prepaid Phone Cards. Use prepaid phone cards as a way to promote your business and provide long distance service to customers or prospects. A prepaid phone card with company logos and information doubles as a gift and a marketing tool.
  • Fundraising Cards. Fundraising cards are perfect for organizations that need fundraising results. These cards entitle the holder to discounts and provides the donating company with increased business. Use these to grow awareness for many kind of companies and business.
  • Key Cards. Any plastic card can be made into a key card that attaches to a key ring for easy access and visibility. Membership and loyalty cards can be made into key cards, or advertise business or website by printing info on a key card.
  • Luggage Tags. Personalized luggage tags can help identify bags from the rest and can help promote business'. Companies can provide employees with personalized luggage tags so that they're promoting their business while traveling.
  • Calendar Cards. Print a calendar on one side of a plastic card and print their business information on the other. People will be inclined to keep the card for the convenience of having the calendar and will be reminded of their services every time.
