Put Your Brand in Their Hands – Serious Promo Custom Journals & Notebooks
The Secret to Long-Term Branding
Imagine this for a second…
You’re at a conference or seminar. People are taking notes, writing reminders, and jotting down ideas in their notebooks. They’re carrying them around in bags, using them in meetings, and writing in them at coffee shops.
What do you see?
Notebooks.
Custom notebooks are more than just writing tools—they are brand ambassadors.
Every time someone opens that notebook, your logo is staring them in the face. Every time they write, make a note, or brainstorm, your brand is right there with them, reminding them of your business.
At Serious Promo, we specialize in custom journals and notebooks that stay with your audience. They provide consistent visibility, long-term exposure, and ongoing branding for your business.
Custom Journals & Notebooks: A Powerful Marketing Asset
If you’re looking for a practical, cost-effective, and high-impact promotional item, look no further than custom notebooks. They deliver lasting value in ways other forms of advertising really can’t match.
Here’s why:
Constant Use
People use notebooks every day in meetings, classes, at home, and during travel. It’s a tool for daily life, which means your brand stays in sight all the time.
Long-Term Exposure
Unlike a fleeting TV ad or billboard, a notebook stays visible for months or even years. Every time it’s used, your brand gets free advertising. In fact, 71% of people keep promotional notebooks for more than two years—a much longer duration than many other promotional products (source: swagdrop.com).
More Than Just a Giveaway
When you give someone a custom notebook, you’re not giving them a disposable item that will sit unused in a drawer. You’re providing them with something they’ll use and keep—which means your brand is constantly on their mind. 57% of people who receive a custom notebook say they use it at least once a week (source: gopromotional.co.uk).
The Stats: Why Custom Notebooks Offer Unmatched Value
Don’t just take our word for it. Let’s talk numbers. Here’s how custom notebooks stand out from the rest:
68% of people report that they’ve purchased from a company after receiving a promotional item like a custom notebook (source: swagdrop.com). That’s how custom notebooks drive action for your business.
85% of consumers can recall the brand on a notebook they’ve received within 12 months. That’s brand recognition working hard for your business, day after day (source: gopromotional.co.uk).
39% of people say that promotional products like custom notebooks make them feel more loyal to the brand that gave it to them (source: pens.com). Not only do notebooks keep your brand visible, but they also help build customer loyalty.
Why Custom Notebooks Work (And How They Provide More Value Than Traditional Ads)
Let’s get real for a minute…
You’re probably spending a significant portion of your marketing budget on digital ads, TV commercials, or print ads. But are they really giving you the long-term value you’re hoping for?
You’re getting one-time impressions that quickly fade away. What if you could get your brand in front of your audience consistently for months—or even years—without spending a fortune?
Custom notebooks do exactly that.
Let’s look at the cold, hard facts:

How Custom Notebooks Help Build Long-Term Brand Recognition
You know the saying: “Out of sight, out of mind.” Well, with custom notebooks, the opposite is true: “In sight, in mind.”
Every time someone opens that notebook, your brand is staring them in the face. Whether at a meeting, at home, or on the go, your logo is always there—always visible.
Unlike other giveaways that get tossed in a drawer or forgotten, notebooks have staying power. They keep working for you long after they’ve been handed out. This is long-term branding at its best.
Here’s how it works:
1. Constant Visibility
Custom notebooks are used every day. They’re part of your customer’s daily routine, whether it’s at work, in meetings, or on the go. And every time they open the notebook, they’re reminded of your brand. The more they use it, the more your brand gets embedded in their life.
2. Associating Your Brand with Quality
When someone receives a notebook from your brand, they associate it with professionalism and quality. Every time they use it, it reinforces your brand as reliable, trustworthy, and practical. The more they interact with it, the more they trust you.
3. Consistency is Key
Brand recognition doesn’t happen in a flash. It’s about constant presence. Custom notebooks stay visible. Day after day, your logo becomes part of your customer’s routine, strengthening the association between them and your brand. You’re not just another company they saw once—you’re the brand they see regularly.
4. Word-of-Mouth Marketing
Notebooks don’t just keep your brand in front of the person who owns them—they spread the word. Whether at a café or in a meeting, your notebook becomes a conversation starter. People will ask where they got it, and boom, your brand gets exposure without any extra effort.
5. Creating Emotional Connection and Loyalty
Notebooks do more than serve as tools—they create emotional bonds. When people use a notebook they love, they remember the brand that gave it to them. Over time, this gratitude builds customer loyalty, and they’re more likely to stick with you, recommend you, and buy from you again.
