subject: Have A Professional Demeanor Using Leather Padfolios [print this page] It may be surprising to learn that such a simple item would make such a difference in appearance. Carrying leather padfolios to meetings is one way to successfully convey an organized look of style to those present. These truly handy organizers have many features to support a productive appointment.
Long appreciated for its luxurious appearance, natural leathers wear well, and look good for a long time. It is possible to buy these folios in a variety of looks ranging from plain to embossed. What changes most often is the surface texture. Most are made of strong hide from cows, deer or goat, but some masquerade as alligator or snake. They will be either firm and smooth or supple and soft to the touch.
Though it is best to avoid submerging these folios completely in water, they are still quite easy to clean. Smudges of most kinds are readily removed with a bit of mild soap and water. Simply dip the tip of a warm wet cloth into the soap and then rub the soiled area gently. Rinse with another dab of the cloth, and then dry. Natural materials like this are very durable. Whatever the initial cost, leathers will tend to provide much longer use than less expensive plastics.
Some people do enjoy the process of writing things down on paper with a pen or pencil. For them, the ability to hold the pen and feel the paper simply helps them to think more clearly. Having these folios nearby provides a level of comfort that differs from laptop use. Because the padfolios tend to help keep items organized, the chronically unorganized may find them very helpful. Knowing that everything is in one place and portable can be relieve a bit of stress.
Style choices range from the bold and colorful to conservative and traditional. Leathers may be dyed in many different colors. Each generally has its own distinctive texture. For those that are fashion forward, these may be perfect way to coordinate best work attire with business tools.
Because these folios may be imprinted with corporate logos, they can be a useful branding and marketing tool. Many companies find that the cost of adding a logo is quite low when ordering in volume. The specialty work is eye catching and nice for promotional purposes.
Giving a gift of a personalized pad is an excellent choice. Adding a monogram to the folio identifies the owner quickly. A good font selection makes it simple to choose one that suits the intended recipient. Adding monograms is also a nice way to differentiate folios when many in the office carry them.
Many leather padfolios have a wide range of compartments to hold things. Some have zippered compartments to help keep loose items in check. Others have multiple sleeves to tuck bits of paper, cards, brochures or fliers into. Regardless of what you usually use at your desk, you may find that much of it can be collected into these handy carriers. Once the meeting begins, it is an easy thing to use the sturdy writing surface most anywhere.
