Each person customizes their matchbook collections to their personal tastes. You have a say in what types of matchbooks you’d like to collect and what value each addition brings. The following blog will explore common ways individuals decide if a matchbook is worth collecting.
Memory Lane
These days, matchbooks are little works of art elaborately designed to spark a memory when you look at them. If you’re at an event or hotel where you want to remember that specific memory, grabbing the matchbook is a great item to grab as a keepsake.
Not only are matchbooks excellent for use around the house, but they act as little souvenirs of trips or conventions you’ve attended. You’ll be able to hold onto those personal stories and unique experiences and pass the fun along to other generations.
Remember Specific Businesses
If you find yourself running low on candles, there is no need to search for a candle distributor. Companies hand out matchbooks as eloquently designed business cards for free. Companies strategically give them because each time you use them or look at the collection, you think of that specific business.
You’ll find restaurants, candle retailers, wineries, and hotels among the many companies that give away custom matchbooks. There was a decline in matchbooks at one time, but we can thank their whimsy and usefulness for the modern resurgence. Matchbooks are incredibly collectible marketing tools today.
Conversation Starter
Displayed matchbooks create excellent conversation starters. Imagine having company over, and as they browse through your collection, they spot a matchbook from Ireland. Perhaps they didn’t know you traveled to that country, and now they can ask you questions about your trip and hear any recommendations you may have.
Matchbooks are a great way to get the conversation going. Plus, they’re incredibly easy to pack and display. How could you go wrong with collecting matchbooks? The next time you’re on a trip or participating in a convention, grab the matchbook to remember your trip.
There are multiple reasons that a matchbook is worth collecting. Most of them begin with you and the type of matchbook collection you’d like to display. Have fun creating your collection!
