Custom fortune cookie tip #4 - Be unique

November 17th, 2008

While it is easy to fall into the trap of going with a generic custom message, i.e. Beth and Jason - December 25, 2008, it can pay off to be unique.

CUSTOM FORTUNE COOKIE TIP #4 - BE UNIQUE

It always amazes me the creativity of our customers. The other day I had a large company call wanting to get a quote on fortune cookies.  They were looking for over 200,000 cookies, a very large order, and they mentioned they were going to be running a campaign and they wanted to use fortune cookies to promote their product.  We have done similar order before, companies use fortune cookies all the time to promote a new items or product line, but for this company they were wanting to use the fortune as the actual coupon.  There would be numerous fortunes, i.e. “5% OFF”, “10% OFF, etc… but the neat thing was that they were going to use the backside of the message as the actual bar code.  What a great idea!  We ran some samples and to make sure the bar code would scan, and whammo success!! The campaign will be a huge success.

For wedding messages we had a couple that used the messages as a short story about themselves and it was up to the guests to put the fortunes together to arrange the story.  They did by table, so each guest at each table had their own cookie, on the front it said “Thank you for sharing this special day with us!” and on the back it had three lines of a story about how they met and future plans, but you had use all the fortunes on the table to put the story together.  I thought that it was a great idea!

Orders from today are listed below.  Remember a “/” indicates a line break, and at the bottom of the order where is says “arial bold” is the font that want used and the color of text is next to it. IGNORE THE COMMAS AFTER EACH MESSAGE, THEY DON’T ACTUALLY APPEAR ON THE MESSAGE.
