Buy a cheap inking stamp and pad to boldly announce new things for your current and potential customers.  Stamp all of your outgoing mail with an important message you want help to grow sales, tell your customers or interest potential buyers.  Stamp all outgoing mail including invoices (notifying current customers), accounts payable payments (notifying vendors) and mark preprinted advertising materials (notifying potential customers who may not know your new capabilities).

Here are a few ideas you may consider for making announcements you want your customers to know. Alter these ideas to fit your own company’s needs.
