Planning Your Marketing Strategy? Don't Forget About Promotional Products

The more items you have printed with your name and logo the more people will see them. Brand recognition is important when it comes to increasing sales. While people may not remember exactly where they saw your business's branding, they will remember it. The next time they are looking to buy the products or services you sell your name will pop into their mind.

If the product you give away is something people will keep and use, then your name will be right there, in front of them. Even if they are not thinking about your products or services they will have a reminder that may cause them to give you a call or visit. For example, a wall calendar from an HVAC company may remind people to call them for annual maintenance and servicing.

When someone has one of your promotional products on their desk or uses it regularly, other people are going to see it. These other people may even ask where your customer got it. A radio or television advertisement, or a website will not get the same type of exposure as a physical object. It is important to use a variety of marketing strategies to get your name out to the public.

You can have anything printed with your name and logo. However, if you want the consumers to keep them, you need to consider a few things. The first thing is who your target audience will be, decide whether you want to give away something useful or something more whimsical, then think about items that can somehow represent your business.

If your product or service is used mainly by businesses, you should give away useful items. This can be as simple as a day planner, mouse pad, or a USB drive. When your customers are homeowners, you may want to give them wall calendars, sticky notes, or mugs.

If you opt for more whimsical items consider stress balls, small handheld games or puzzles, or a trending novelty item like fidget spinners. These items get used and passed around. They also grab people's attention.

Of course, having a promotional item that somehow represents your company is a good idea. Perhaps a stress ball in the shape of something you sell, or pictures on the calendar of your business. The more you remind consumers of who you are and what you do, the better the promotional product will work for you.
