Magnet printing: a powerful way to keep your brand visible
Looking for a long-lasting and cost-effective way to promote your business? Magnet printing, especially fridge magnet printing, is one of the most effective ways to keep your brand in front of customers every day.
The average person makes up to 12 trips to the fridge every day. It is also believed that a person who places a magnet on his or her fridge will leave it there for an estimated 6-8 years. This means a person will potentially see a fridge magnet no less than 26,000 times a year!
As a result, a well-designed promotional magnet can generate thousands of impressions each year. In fact, many people keep fridge magnets for several years, making them one of the longest-lasting forms of print advertising.
Why choose printed magnets for advertising?
Printed magnets for business offer a unique combination of visibility, practicality, and longevity.
Unlike flyers or leaflets that may be discarded, magnets stay in place. Whether on a fridge, filing cabinet, or boiler, they keep your contact details within easy reach.
Key benefits include:
- long-term brand exposure
- repeated daily visibility
- cost-effective marketing
- practical use for customers
Types of advertising magnets
There are several popular types of custom printed magnets, each suited to different uses.
Business card magnets
The most popular option for magnet printing. These are the same size as standard business cards, making them easy to design and distribute. If you already have business card artwork, it can often be reused with minimal changes.
Car door magnets
Ideal for mobile advertising, vehicle magnets turn your car or van into a moving advert for your business.

Creative ideas for fridge magnet printing
To get the most from your promotional magnets, focus on designs that are useful as well as eye-catching. The more practical the magnet, the longer it will stay in place.
Business card magnets
Simple, effective, and widely used. Customers often use them to hold notes, photos, or reminders.
Magnetic calendars
A small calendar is useful throughout the year, keeping your brand visible every day.
To-do list magnets
A writable surface for daily tasks adds real value and encourages regular use.
Magnetic notepad holders
Combine a magnet with a notepad for quick and easy note-taking in the kitchen or office.
Magnetic photo frames
Help customers display photos neatly while keeping your branding in view.
Bonus idea: helpful tips
Add a list of useful tips related to your trade. For example, an electrician could include advice for power outages, along with contact details. This not only adds value but also encourages repeat business.
