Fortune Teller – Folding Fun from Schooldays

Remember this - the folded piece of paper that you moved up and back and side to side? Then your friend had to choose a number which told her to kiss Peter Fisher or it said that she had a fat bum? Well here it is again, only this time it is for promotional fun! We call it a Fortune Teller. It’s only a folded piece of paper but we get asked for it over and over again! The Fortune Teller can be supplied flat – ready for your customer to fold – in which case it comes with a sheet of printed instructions for folding. Alternatively, we can supply it already folded by hand, ready to use – and you still get a sheet of instructions which show how to use it!

Promotional ideas for the Fortune Teller

Our research tells us that the Fortune Teller is popular as a handout at exhibitions, conferences and trade shows. It is also used as an interactive invitation to corporate events. Our own samples feature witty quotations which cover various subjects whilst the slogans that were under the fold-over flaps when we were at school were nearly always forfeits and insults. To make the most of the fortune teller as a promotional tool you might want to think carefully about the information that is printed under the flap. Whilst your customer might have a flush of nostalgia when assembling the product it is important that the good feeling is carried on to actual usage. The product could flop if the only message is something like “Our fork lift trucks are the best”. Try to make messages amusing or curious to ensure that your customer not only assembles it but also shows others in the office.
