Magnets.com is the Official Magnet of the Backstage Artist Lounge!

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 17:58:34 +0000

We’re huge supporters and fans of all types of music -from local to large scale, loud to mellow. Heck, we even have several musicians on staff. So, when presented with the opportunity to become the official magnet of the Backstage Artist Lounge, a private lounge installed backstage at major music festivals where sponsors connect with bands for product sampling and relationship building opportunities, we jumped at the opportunity.

By major music festivals, we mean events like Sonic Boom featuring Weezer, Rise Against, and Bad Religion, and the KROQ Epicenter Festival featuring Eminem, Kiss, and Blink 182. So, if you attend a show and happen to see some awesome magnets scattered about, chances are they’re from Magnets.com.

Stay tuned for pics. of our magnets on the road with these famous music acts!

New Magnets.com Web site: Choose the Thickness of Your Magnets

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:50:32 +0000

As a prior entry detailed, we recently introduced a Value Buy business card magnet produced with the same print and finish you’ve come to expect from Magnets.com, all on slightly lighter magnetic material (20 vs. 25ml). Given customer feedback we expected a good deal of traction, but were taken aback by their sheer popularity: since introduction, our value buy business card magnets have accounted for over 50% of all business cards sold on Magnets.com. Talk about a hit.

That got us thinking: why not put our customers in the driver’s seat, enabling them to choose the thickness of their magnets? Brilliant, indeed! With our new Web site set for launch later this year, you’ll be able to choose from three magnet thicknesses which, like today, are composed of approximately 77% recycled raw materials:

Premium: a full 30ml thick. Simply the best, highest quality magnet on the market. Capable of holding 5 sheets of paper.
Standard: our current standard magnets, 25ml thick. And by 25ml, the magnetic portion makes up 20ml and the printed paper and laminate covering about 5ml. Capable of holding 4 sheets of paper.
Value: 20ml thick, the same as our current Value Buy business card magnets. Capable of holding 2 sheets of paper and great for mailing.

Choosing the thickness and price point of your magnets… just another reason to stick with Magnets.com.

New Magnets.com Web site: Easily & Quickly Place a Reorder

admin — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:03:25 +0000

A relatively high percentage of day in, day out orders are customer reorders. Although our current Web site enables customers to create an account, it does not store prior magnet designs or orders -customers need to either call or send us an e-mail when they want to reorder a magnet they previously ordered. Not necessarily ideal, nor convenient, as indicated on our fairly recent Web site survey. But that’s all changing…

When our new Web site is launched toward the end of summer, all prior magnet designs will be stored under each customer’s account, enabling quick and easy reorders, along with one click checkout! A big, convenient time saver, indeed. What’s more, this will help facilitate quicker delivery of your magnets –what’s not to like about that!?
