Whether your customers use them for “thank you” notes or holiday greetings, they’re probably familiar with their announcement options. However, the announcement can be a canvas for much more! With a wide variety of stocks and print processes available, announcements are an excellent opportunity for creativity. Here are our five picks for creative uses for announcements.
1. Recipe Cards
Whether your customer wants to inform consumers about what they can do with a new product or wants an informational piece for outreach programs, flat announcements make great recipe cards. Print one side with the recipe title and a photograph of the finished recipe for a mouthwatering option or use spot color to create a minimalist and readable design.
2. Information Cards
Does your customer want to inform the public? Announcements are a great option for botanical gardens or zoos that want visitors to take home more information about the things that they have seen. They can be used to highlight individual products at home shows.
3. Mini Menu
Whether your customer wants to create a small menu for a catered event or wants to highlight seasonal options, announcements are the perfect size for small size menus. Full color print allows them to be printed to match event décor or restaurant branding with ease. As an added bonus, announcements are just the right size to set on a plate as an addition to a well-coordinated place setting.
Speaking of menus…
4. Menu Signs
Announcements can be used to create simple table tents for labeling menu items. This makes them a great option for customers looking to name menu items at a catered buffet because they can be mixed and matched or to label products in a bakery display case. They can easily be changed out for seasonal offerings whenever your customer changes their menu—all at an affordable price point.
5. Special Touches for Events
Announcements might be primarily associated with the invitation to an announcement, but announcements can also be a great addition to the event itself. Is your customer planning an event with reserved seating? An announcement printed with the word “Reserved” can be set on chairs or at tables to mark that place. Are they hosting a corporate event? Announcements printed with uncoated stock are a great option for bingo cards or other games.
