Promotional mouse mats are great gifts for conventions or trade shows, and are a fun way to get your business name and company information out to clients and potential clients. They are big enough for real advertising to your customer base, and are useful rather than just novelty items like some promotional gifts can be. A great way to make them even more useful is to pair them with something else that is useful as well: coasters for the desk.

When people think of desk sets, they are more likely thinking of pen holders and in boxes rather than a matching mouse mat and coaster, however these other kinds of desk sets can prove to be just as useful as the other. Mouse mats are very useful all by themselves, but how many people think to bring coasters in to their office? One too many coffee stains, and your customers will be wishing that they had thought to bring a coaster in for their desk before it was too late.

How fortuitous that you should have a mouse mat and matching coaster for them, then, so that they don't have to think of these things by themselves. Instead of having to buy a mouse mat or use one that they do not like the design of, they will have a well designed mouse mat provided by someone with whom they do business, and instead of coffee stains and rings of moisture on their desks, they will have your matching coaster to protect their papers and desk tops.

Your customers will appreciate the fact that the coaster matches the mouse mat as well, since it will blend more naturally into the desk when there is nothing set on it, and they will like that the classy design of your mouse mat matches the coaster and lends that classy look to their desk. In addition, if their coaster is already on their desk, they will be more likely to replace their existing mouse mat with the one that you have generously provided in order to keep things looking uniform on their desks.

This means that not only is your client exposed to your advertising every time he or she sits at his or her desk, you client is also exposing their own clients to your advertising. Your client, by using the promotional mouse mats and coasters that you provide, is visibly endorsing your business and providing a conversation point for their clients about your business and how generous and thoughtful you as a company are. How nice!

Promotional mouse mats are a wonderful promotional gift all by themselves, but when paired with a matching coaster, they are very hard to beat indeed. Your promotional mouse mat and coaster set will be well received, and will provide years of free advertising space for your company on every desk on which they are placed. For the low price and ease of use of these products, this is an incredible return indeed.
