Post-it Notes – What SMEs think about them!
We should really be calling them repositional notes but Post-it notes are what people call them because they are so popular and it seems preferred.
We asked SMEs what they thought about repositional notes and if they preferred the leading Post-it Notes brand of if they used alternatives which are cheaper. We also asked them for the reasons for their choice.
The main reason for small businesses sticking to original Post-it Notes is because of their stickiness.

I’ve used both, but prefer the originals. I find that the adhesive on cheaper alternatives loses its ability to be posted anywhere once you’ve taken it off the pad, and then you end up with a little pile of dried up post-its, like autumn leaves but less crunchy! My favourite post-it notes product is the 3M Post-It Notes Yellow 3×5 655YE. I’ve used lots of different shaped ones in various courses – heart, oval, and some patterned ones. I still prefer the traditional yellow – they are easier to read and to write on.
The price difference between branded and budget brands like 5 Star which we stock can be HUGE. Almost half the price. And these value bramds do have their supporters:
I use alternative brands of repositonal notes because they are cheaper and just as good. My favourite pads are the smaller ones like Post It Note 11/2x 2 Flrl Rbw 653FL pk12 . I have used the shaped post-it notes, heart ones of course lol!

Take a look at some more comments on our post-it notes page and see the price difference also.
An interesting thought is how many times we remove and restick a post-it note. In our case here at Whistle Ink – it’s usually just once or twice.
