A bookmark is more likely to stay on someone\u2019s desk or inside a book than a standard card in a wallet. That means more visibility, more time with the brand, and more opportunities to make an impression.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Marking Meaningful Moments<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DLXyLERsdzc\/?img_index=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Diane F<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">., bookmarks became part of a personal milestone.\u00a0She created custom designs as keepsakes for her son\u2019s wedding shower, giving guests something they could actually use after the event.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This approach transforms bookmarks from marketing materials into memory holders.
