If you’re going to give a message, give it right…
When you’re using a Post-it note, it’s generally important and could be for a multitude of needs such as;
- Capturing messages
- Taking telephone numbers
- To do reminders
- Colour code clients, projects and tasks
So express yourself! We have some amazing shades to suit your moods and personality, namely the Neon Post-it Notes.
If you’re setting yourself a reminder or giving someone a message, why be dull. Stand out; make your message heard!
Here are some examples of when the ‘neon’s’ have proved bold enough!
It’s another all-nighter at the airport. You’re burned-out. You’re jet-lagged. You’re the epitome of the weary traveller. You need a few winks of shut-eye, but you’re afraid to nod off and miss your connecting flight. A veteran business traveller found himself in just that position at the Atlanta airport in 1998. He wrote his flight information on a Post-it® Note, along with a plea to wake him in time for his flight. Then he went to sleep. Yes, he made his flight. Who knows? It might work for you, too!
Patients, staff and visitors at an Arizona hospital wanted to find a way to celebrate all the things for which they were grateful. They came up with the idea of a “quilt” of thanks. On Post-it® Notes, they each jotted down the things that made them thankful. Then, they arranged the notes on the wall to form a “quilt” of thanks, reminding each of them of the funny, poignant and simple things that life offers us all.
When a Minnesota woman travelled to Siberia to adopt a baby girl, she found herself in the awkward position of having to bribe a Russian official to get his signature on the birth certificate. Caught off-guard and short of cash, she offered him some Post-it® Notes and pens instead.
The Green Bit
3M, the makers of Post-it, have conducted recycling trials on Post-it® Notes at recycled paper mills. The adhesive on the paper does not interfere with paper recycling because the adhesive is substantially removed in the paper deinking process. The dyes in the paper are removed in the deinking process.
There are many colours and sizes of Post-it® Notes available with paper containing at least 30% postconsumer recycled content. In addition, 3M offers 100% recycled content notes in canary yellow and assorted pastel colours. The 100% recycled content notes contains 70% preconsumer and 30% postconsumer fiber. Post-it® Easel Pads are also available with 30% postconsumer content paper.
All Post-it® Notes and Easel Pads are SFI Chain of Custody Certified. Paper for these products comes from well managed forests where trees are replanted
