How To Use Custom Coasters To Boost Brand Awareness
Marketing with coasters is a natural fit for restaurants, bars, coffee houses, and cafes. Coasters as a marketing tool can also work for many different businesses, though, including yours. Almost any business who sells mugs – or rewards customers and employees with them – can use coasters to reach their target market. Coasters are also a valuable marketing tool if eateries and craft brewers are among your list of strategic partners.

Coaster Marketing Design Tips
As you would with any other marketing method, start designing your coasters with an end goal in mind. A coaster intended to increase overall brand awareness might look very different from one designed to promote a specific product. When you’re ready to create coasters that help boost your business, keep these additional design tips and ideas in mind.
- Create consistency in coaster marketing. Position your logo and brand message on the coasters you design.
- Research your target market. Are they coffee drinkers or wine drinkers?
- Include a call to action. A compelling CTA turns your marketing coaster into a sales prompt.
- Make your coaster interesting. Try including consumer tips, trivia questions, or humor.
- Know where your coast will go. Will your coaster be used in an upscale winery or a neighborhood sports bar?
