Whilst serving a practical purpose, well-designed business stationery can also be used to enhance the perception of your brand. Additionally, it can be used for more practical purposes, such as a business card providing information about your business. Furthermore, business stationery can provide well needed functionality, an example being how compliment slips can be used to deliver messages and promotions.

The types of business stationery

There are a few types of business stationery, are here we will look at how the most common types can be used as part of your day-to-day business activities.

Compliment Slips

Businesses can use professionally printed compliment slips in a variety of ways. Firstly, a compliment slip that presents your brand in a positive way will serve as a visual reminder of your business and portray a professional image. Uses of a compliment slip could be…

  • As an enclosure of a delivered order, the slip can be used to send an additional message. For example, if your delivery was behind schedule, you could use the slip as an additional way of apologising for the inconvenience.
  • Discounts and offers can easily be distributed through compliment slips. This can promote products you want to increase sales. Additionally, by promoting offers, the business stationery can enhance customer loyalty, furthering your business aims.
