Inexpensive Promotional Ideas vis a vis Promotional Products

By | November 16th, 2009|Promotional Products|Comments Off on Inexpensive Promotional Ideas vis a vis Promotional Products

Inexpensive promotional products are perfect for companies wishing to convey their message to a wide audience on a limited budget. Promotional giveaways are a fundamental element of any event, such as trade shows, conferences, sporting events or fundraising events, where they are handed out in large numbers to promote a company and to raise brand awareness.

People love receiving something for free, especially if it is fun or useful. Inexpensive promotional products do not automatically have to be boring as there is an extensive range of attention-grabbing items available to choose from. In fact, the least expensive marketing promotions are sometimes the most effective.

Some of the most popular budget promotional products include keyrings, pens, pencils, coasters, badges, bookmarks, lanyards, juggling balls, mugs, confectionery, and stress relief balls.

These can all easily be personalized by overprinting with a company name, logo or campaign slogan. Depending on the product, and its suitability for the target market, this means the brand or message is carried widely. Even when sourcing budget giveaways it is important to remember, however, that low unit costs should not mean a compromise on product quality

One of the current leading trends in the promotional products market is that everything is getting smaller and more functional. The more compact and multifunctional an item, the more likely it is that it will be used frequently, thereby increasing brand exposure. An example of this is a keyring with a built-in torch.

With corporate budgets getting ever tighter, inexpensive promotional products are a highly effective solution for mass marketing.

Promotional Products See Growth in Online Sales

By | 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.

Celebrating the Child in Us All With Fun Promotional Products

By | 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.
