Custom Coffee Mugs: Poetry So Good You Can Drink It!

Most of you poetry lovers out there have a wish in common: To show your friends and close ones how they can enjoy it too. It is time to take matters into your own hands and make poetry reach them. Modern print technology makes so many formats available, that it is hard to choose one. But since the idea is to make poetry part of your friends’ daily routines, why not print it on a coffee mug? So they can read it while enjoying a warm, tasty and aromatic coffee.

What you need to do is pick a short poem that your friend could like and have it printed. Simple enough, right? Sure, but here are some things you should take into consideration when choosing the right poem to engage a non poetry lover:

1. Don’t choose the poem for you, choose it for the person who will be reading it every morning. Your goal is to make them want to find more poems.
2. Select a text that can be easily read on a mug. If it is too long, chances are your friend won’t pay attention to it.
3. Avoid subjects that may sadden the recipient. Remember that coffee mugs are long lasting, reminding your friend about a sad topic on a daily basis is not the greatest idea.
4. It is ok to choose a controversial topic, as long as you do it respectfully and in the spirits of opening your friend’s mind about a common matter.

Once you have chosen the perfect poem, make it look great before sending it to print. When you order custom coffee mugs from professionals (like 4OVER4.COM linked before) they will ask you to meet certain image requirements. Basically to send a file with high resolution so it will look good once printed. Consider your image background and the color of your mug, the idea is for everyone to be able to read the poem.

Stop wishing for your friends to like poetry as much as you do, make it happen! Go on a browsing mission and find a poem for each of your closest friends. Custom printing is affordable and gives you a chance to make a gift that will be remembered, a win-win situation. Purchase personalized mugs to make a special gift and introduce them to the wonderful poetry world.
