The customer would like it to be made from wood and include the company logo.

Nice order. A couple of thoughts;

  • If you know a nurse, try asking them.
  • Include a label that has your details on it.
  • If it cost more than you intended, then treat the margin loss as an investment in marketing; this might be an excellent opportunity to reach out and promote your services to lots of people.

The nurses I know like a beer, gin or wine, so the coaster idea is a good one, but I would err on keeping the company logo as subtle/small as possible else; in my opinion, they won’t be used (I have received branded coasters, and they get “hidden away”.)

I so appreciate your suggestions. I knew asking you all for input would be fruitful. A set of coasters with a note including my business details. Keep the logo small. The included note suggests some type of packaging. Packaging is something to :thinking:

You could maybe package them in the blank from which they were cut? To me that would be pretty cool and suggest how they were made. You could put a larger logo in the center of the panel rather than on the coasters.

Depends on what software you are using but should open up in most Vectric products when you import vectors.

You could do simple Christmas decorations or fridge magnets.

brad I love how this idea speaks to origins very cool

Cell phone stands are useful. I’ve done some with a laser and they’re repeatably used. My wife loves her’s.

I really like the phone stand and the simplicity of it , it certainly lends itself to my needs and room for information
