Almost everyone is familiar with fortune cookies. Light and flavorful, these cookies are handed out at the end of almost every meal eaten in an Asian restaurant. Of course, as good as the cookies may be, what people are really interested in are the little pieces of paper inside. From the ridiculous to the sublime, these fortunes are the best part of the cookie. So what if you could print your own message on those little pieces of paper? What if you could create a custom fortune cookie to sell your idea or make your announcement?

It turns out that you can. A quick search on the internet turns up a lengthy list of companies that specialize in creating custom fortune cookies. Instead of being mass produced, these cookies are made for individual customers who can customize the cookies themselves as well as the messages contained within them.

There are so many things that can be done to change the appearance of the fortune cookie. You can get them dyed in a variety of colors. You can get them dipped in chocolate or coated with a colorful candy shell. You can even have them sent as a bouquet. This would attract much more attention than a common vase of flowers.

It is the ability to write your own message inside the cookie that truly makes custom fortune cookies unique. Think about how many people would pay attention to and remember the name of your business if the found it on the inside of a cookie. In addition, anyone who discovered your company in this manner is likely to tell their friends about it. Custom fortune cookies can definitely be an effective advertising tool.

Custom fortune cookies can also be used to get information out. Order some blue cookies and have the fortune list your new son’s name and birth date. Having a party? Send fortune cookies out as an attention getting invitation. Have a fight with your spouse? Tell them you are sorry twenty times with a fortune cookie bouquet.

Whatever your reason, custom fortune cookies are a novel and fun way to get your point across. Because each batch is made individually, they do cost more than regular fortune cookies. However, the response you receive to any message you print on the fortune will be well worth the cost. No one will ever forget the information they find on the inside of those cookies, nor will they forget the person who gave it to them.
