    What to do with 100 empty coaster holders???

    Attachment 223700
    I have a company that has ordered 375 individual coasters that they are giving away at conferences. The only problem is, JDS only sells their coasters in sets. So I'm left with about 100 empty coaster holders.

    I'm in need of ideas of what to use thes for or market them as.
    Would love your ideas

    Or better yet, do you know of a company that sells the bamboo coasters like these by themselves?

    Thanks so much!

    The empty holders will be nice "bric a brack" holders for a desk - engrave your logo etc on em and give em away as promo items.

  3. Would post-it notes or notepad with similar size fit in the holders? Could be a nice promo item.

    You can buy tiles and engrave them. Prism Crystal sells individual glass coasters, I have done cork coasters.

    Just search bamboo coasters (images) then you can see the photos of the products.

    4x4 holder inside dia Post-it pads come in 4x4 multi color pads... Great Idea!

    There is room on the sides for a logo, on the front/back on either side of the U notch.

    Chamber of Commerence or City Hall Tokens......

    Thanks for all of your ideas!
    The post it notes was the only idea I'd had so far, but hadn't thought about promoting them to other businesses!
    And Rodne...Great idea about giving them away with MY info on them...genius!

    I also like the idea of putting other coasters back in them...hadn't even thought of that!
    I already have some 4x4 cork coasters on hand that would work perfect!

    Thanks so much...I knew I could count on this team for great ideas!!!
