Promotional Products See Growth in Online Sales

By Porter Lee| 2009-11-15T08:38:22-08:00 November 15th, 2009|Promotional Products|Comments Off on Promotional Products See Growth in Online Sales

Ever increasing numbers of Promotional products companies have begun to use the internet as a shop window for promoting and selling their products. This enables them to offer cheaper prices and quicker lead times, as well as meeting customers’ demands for convenience and immediate gratification. The best promotional products websites take customers step by step through the entire sourcing and selection process.

This trend was confirmed by PPAI’s latest survey* which found that online sales of promotional products in the US have continued to grow slowly but steadily, increasing from $1.6 billion in 2003 to $2.7 billion in 2006. (Online sales are defined as those that result from orders placed through a website or online store.) What is equally interesting to note is that this rise was reflected across the board, irrespective of the size of firm.

The Internet is set to become an increasingly important factor in distributor sales due to the fact that a large proportion of Promotional products buyers now belong to Generation Y, which encompasses anyone born after 1982. This generation is most at ease when establishing and developing relationships – both on a professional and personal level – online rather than face to face.

Although Internet marketing is finally gaining pace amongst Promotional products distributors, the industry as a whole still depends primarily on personal selling which remains the major sales channel. However, what we are likely to see happening more often is a complementary blending of channels, with the Internet used for business transactions and the sales force employed to provide consultation services for promotional products.

By Porter Lee| 2009-11-15T02:30:49-08:00 November 15th, 2009|Promotional Products|Comments Off on Celebrating the Child in Us All With Fun Promotional Products

Your company’s promotional products don’t always have to be practical and conservative. Sometimes the client or occasion calls for something fun, out of the ordinary and that will make your customers and prospective clients really notice your company name.

But your image is key in the business world, so to be taken seriously while still seeing the lighter side of client relations relies on high quality products which have been considered and will be a pleasure to receive and a source of cheer for office workers. And a fun promotional product is not just for your client; a toy could be taken home to their loved ones, where your brand name and colors will be seen in leisure time and by families and friends, and more importantly, that promotional bear could become a faithful friend – invaluable marketing.

There are many promotional items which will appeal both to clients in the office and to their children too, and picking one of the following options means you double your chances of the gift being used.

Promotional piggy banks or money boxes are great for that loose change after the sandwich run, and picking one in trendy translucent fuchsia will mean it stands proud in the office and might even be used as a charity or other collection point. And parents will also want to take them home for their children as a means of encouraging sensible saving. Either way your brand is on display in association with saving money while also being a fun item – you really cannot lose!

Puzzles, for example a promotional rubik cube, are appealing for all. Whether it’s to occupy twitching fingers in the office or to be a classic children’s toy, it will be used time and time again until it is solved and this means constant brand presence whenever it is played with. Games and puzzles are timeless, and whether it’s battleships or a promotional snafooz puzzle, imprinted with your company name, they are sure to provide your client or their families with hours of entertainment.

So far from being the soft option, choosing a promotional item that is fun and appeals to the child in us all is a wise business decision that means great promotion for your company.

Confused or Lost at a Promotional Products Website? Move On!

By Porter Lee| 2009-11-14T03:01:23-08:00 November 14th, 2009|Promotional Products|Comments Off on Confused or Lost at a Promotional Products Website? Move On!

Sometimes a good way to understand the sensation of smacking your head against a brick wall is trying to shop for a specific promotional product. The industry is always looking for and discovering new products to stamp a corporate logo on, which means more things to choose from every day. The catalogs you need to sort out get bigger almost every day because of the constant growth in our industry.

Inarguably, your best bet is to find a seller with a website and not trying to track down manufacturers directly. The manufacturers that create the promotional giveaways you’re looking for won’t be selling to the general public, but through distributors that are equipped to complete a sale. What this means is that companies that sell promotional items to you are far more interested in giving you pricing and information than the manufacturers will be! These distributors can be so free with information it can actually feel a little like information overload sometimes. This is because, as you will discover, that there are many different things to decide on besides price. Some companies will offer a million products for you to choose from separated into a hundred different categories, which can seem worse than flipping through a catalog.

Millions of promotional products out are out there, making easy to navigate sites absolutely critical to you. Don’t settle for the first company you find, shop around. Online retailers are a dime a dozen, and a significant amount of those web sites are members of various networks that provide catalog information. What you will frequently find are online stores that are, more or less, an uninspired random catalog of tons of items and a shopping cart area to purchase them with. Some online “stores” will even make it difficult to find phone numbers or customer service e-mail addresses!

The good promotional websites will have easy to understand categories that anyone can understand, and not wording that only people in the industry would. When you find what you’re looking for or trying to pick from several different items, prices should be up front and the materials and sizes should be readily available. The words used should understandable and help you find what you’re looking for fairly quickly, and not force you to try to decipher marketing lingo about the product you’re considering.

You should note that a company that puts effort into making an easy to navigate website is also probably putting some time and effort into good customer service, which is the most important aspect of your purchase. Not to mention if the website has more than just things to purchase, like blogs, informative articles, etc. Your promotional product order can seem like a simple thing at first, but if you’re planning to see your logo on a promotional product you need the customer service a good company will provide. There are several steps between placing an order and getting it shipped, and each step means potential mistakes that can happen. Most of the steps are behind the scenes and won’t involve you directly, so even someone who has placed orders before might not realize the minefield an order taker has to navigate an order through. Don’t make the mistake of dealing with a second-rate company where you can expect less care taken during potential trouble spots.

Compared to a heavy paper catalog, the Internet is definitely the way to go. Not only will you find the promotional product you want more quickly, you’ll find it at the price you want and the shape or style you want.

Package it right and you can sell it to any market, do it wrong and disaster ensues.Promotional products cannot always be personally distributed, as such it is important to find the right way to deliver it to your client as effectively as if you handed it to them yourself.
