15 Reasons to Use Custom Matchbooks
Growing up, our family had a large jar full of matchbooks sitting close to the fireplace. Whenever my parents went out for a nice dinner, they would grab a set of customized matchbooks from the restaurant and place it in the jar when they got home, the idea being that whenever we lit the fireplace, there were plenty of matches nearby so we wouldn’t have to go hunt for a lighter.
The funny thing is, we never would actually use the matchbooks. Not only were they a colorful display, but they sat available, whenever our family or friends would come over and need a light. They readily took one of our custom matchbooks and my dad would give a review of the restaurant.
While many people may believe that matchbooks have fallen out of popularity with the decline of smoking in our culture, they are actually one of the most cost-efficient methods for for marketing in the promotional industry and provide a useful means which means, unlike a business card, they won’t be immediately discarded or thrown in a pile and forgotten completely.

Restaurants, Bars, and Clubs
Restaurants, bars, and clubs are likely the places that come immediately to mind when you think of custom matchbooks as a promotional product opportunity. Even though many restaurants have become smoke-free environments, custom matchbooks still offer a unique opportunity of being portable and small, easily fitting into a pocket or a purse and able to hold a website and or a phone number and the logo of the establishment.
Smoking Section
Cannabis Dispensaries
Amid Colorado’s tax windfall after legalizing cannabis, more and more states are considering legalization to fill in the holes in state budgets. As a result, cannabis dispensaries are entering a rapidly competitive marketplace and need to find marketing methods for branding purposes. Custom matchbooks are a perfect opportunity to increase exposure to a dispensary and ensure repeat customers come back.
Tobacco Stores, Cigar Shops, and Cigar Clubs
Another perfect match (pun intended) when it comes to custom matchbooks is tobacco stores, cigar shops, and cigar clubs. Not only are these places where a match comes in handy, but the customers are likely to pick them up on the way out, ensuring repeat business.
Liquor Stores
Social drinkers are often social smokers, and liquor stores also carry fine cigars, as well, making custom matchbooks a perfect tie-in for liquor stores to market to their customers, as well.
Bail Bondsmen and Attorneys
A somewhat creative use, bail bondsmen and attorneys often use custom matchbooks to advertise their services and provide them to local area bars and clubs, in the event that one of the patrons makes the ill-advised decision to drive while still inebriated.
Bail bondsmen and attorneys also leave custom matchbooks with inmates at jails they have as clients.
Candle Companies and Incense Shops
Candle Companies
Have you ever bought handcrafted goods from an individual or a newly emerging candle company? As candles continue to grow in popularity, more and more people are creating their own candles and selling them online and at Renaissance Fairs and folk festivals.
What could be more perfect than slipping a custom matchbook in with a candle order, as both a “thank you" to your customer, and a way for them to use your products as soon as they can, without having to hunt for a match or a lighter on their own?
Incense Shops
Just like a thank you for your purchase from a candle maker, no matter whether you purchased them online or in the store, incense shops have a terrific opportunity to promote their businesses and thank their customers with custom matchbooks.
Campgrounds
As families attempt to spend more time together and return to nature, campgrounds are growing competitive. Custom matchbooks make a great addition to any campground gift shop or for promotional purposes in any nearby camping gear store.
Tattoo Shops
With growing popularity, tattoo shops are looking for ways to not only reach prospective customers, but show their artistic skills to potential customers. Custom matchbooks offer the opportunity to showcase an awesome tattoo design, while simultaneously marketing to individuals interested in their services.
Caterers and Wedding Planners
Caterers
Not only do people who smoke commonly light up just after a meal, but for many private events, there are candles on tables, necessitating the need for a match or a lighter. in this instance, caterers have a tremendous opportunity to provide customized matchbooks to people most likely to use their services: those that have enjoyed them already.
Wedding Planners
Wedding planners have a competitive market unlike any other. Attend any Bridal Expo in any major city and you will be overwhelmed by the sheer services available to any couple. Making your mark and being memorable are only as good as making sure a couple leaves with your contact information, after the overwhelming inundation of information is over. Unlike business cards or flyers, custom matchbooks offer a unique opportunity to not only showcase a potential wedding favor, but provide contact information in a way that will likely not get aside and then out with the garbage.
Ministry Services
As ministries look for ways to make an impact to those in the community that are less fortunate or have led troubled lives, custom matchbooks imprinted with Biblical verses can be given to inmates, the homeless, and other individuals seeking counsel or help.
Weddings
As a wedding favor, custom matchbooks make a nice small token for guests to take home. Easily imprinted with the date and the name of the couple, no one will easily forget the anniversary of the wedding date.
Chimney Sweeps
Wood burning fireplaces require maintenance and regular chimney sweeps to make sure the chimney is free from smoke and debris. In neighborhoods prevalent with fireplaces, chimney sweeps have a terrific marketing opportunity by leaving a couple of matchbooks behind on the mantle once they finish cleaning the chimney. That way, instead of hunting for a business card or an invoice, when a neighbor asks their friend for a referral, they can easily grab the matches.
