Promotional products can be a powerful part of a marketing strategy, if they are properly used. Promotional items can be carefully targeted to existing customers or designed to introduce the company to potential customers. The goal is to keep your company name in front of your existing clients to generate return business, and to introduce your company to new clients in the hope of new business. The great virtue of advertising with promotional products is that it attracts and retains customers in a cost effective way. The beginning of a promotional marketing campaign is to decide what you are marketing and to whom, because this affects the choice of promotional products. If you are marketing repair services to lorry drivers, a travel mug would be used and appreciated. A key ring would put your corporate logo constantly on display. Some of the most easily remembered promotional products are those closely related to the product being marketed. A coffee shop may give away a coffee mug, a grocery store a grocery bag, a bookstore a bookmark. Technology companies can give away mouse pads or flash drives. Another method of marketing is to link the promotional product to a popular event. A promotional tee shirt given away at a sports event might mention both the company and the local team. Plastic water bottles are a good promotional item for any outdoor, warm-weather activity such as a summer festival. Holidays are events that are very suitable for giving business gifts. Choose something that will sit on your customer’s desk every day, such as a pen or desk calendar. A business card holder is a popular choice, and why not fill it with some of your own business cards? How can you tell whether a promotional marketing campaign is providing a return on the company investment? One way is to provide a unique telephone number or URL on the promotional product. When the number is called or the URL visited, you know that the promotional product is doing its work. If one product does not work well, try another! Naturally, all promotional products should have your company name or logo, and an address, telephone number or website. Creative, unique products will make your company stand out from the crowd, and products that are used every day will keep your company name in front of your prospective customers.
