HOW TO USE YOUR PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS AND INCREASE SALES



PENS, MAGNETS, KEYCHAINS, BAGS, BUSINESS CARDS
What do I do with them???


The first step to Name Branding is to realize that companies such as Mc Donald's did not grow overnight it takes time.  But, to model ones self after companies that are successful is wise.  Let's think about this franchise and realize why it is so popular.  If you are thinking like most children and yes most adults too you are thinking right it's the golden arches!!  Name branding is just that getting a picture or idea branded into your customers minds keeping it easy for your customers to remember you and remember why they need your services.  Putting this plan into ACTION is all you need to do.

If you have existing promotional products USE THEM!! But, use them wisely. 

Most of us buy 1,000 pens and then have them sitting in our drawer or closet collecting dust.  If you have had your pens for over 6 months than you have not used them wisely.  Same with keychains, magnets etc...

Part of name branding is getting your promo items out there, something they can visualize. Something that they can use and re-use. 



Get an image in their mind of your logo, your color theme, your slogan it will stick with them.

HOW TO USE YOUR EXISTING PROMO ITEMS:

When you are at an event pass out your pens, business cards etc... When you go to the Dr. instead of using their pen use your pen and leave it with them let them know it is a gift from you.  Leave your pen with your waitress, hair dresser, dentist etc... When you are in line at the Grocery store always be sure to bring your re-usable grocery bags and pass one of them to the person in line behind you. 

Trade Show- Another great place to hand out these existing Promo Items is at Trade Shows.  Leave them on your table and encourage people to take them or walk around and pass them out! 

Basically leave them where ever you go!

Make it a goal to get rid of 10 promo-items per day if you think of it that is 50 potential customers you have made contact with in 5 days!  Everyone loves something that is free and everyone uses pens, magnets, grocery bags and keychains.

If you are looking for these type of products or items that are more unique give us a call we would be happy to help you find what you are looking for.

Do Promotional Products Work?



A survey of 180 college students at five U.S. universities revealed that promotional products are indeed influential and appreciated. Ninety-five percent of the students surveyed mentioned appreciation at having received the items, and 85 percent named an imprinted item in their immediate possession or at their home. Eighty-three percent of respondents said that promotional products would motivate them in one or more of the following ways: respond to a survey, enter a contest, purchase a product or service, patronize a business or donate to a charity.

Promotion is not only for "big guys". You can have a very low budget campaign if you really want to advertise your company and give you customers a "thank you" for being my customer.
