Why promotional products work
Most business owners, no matter if their business centers on a product or on a service, want to get their brand in front of as many people as possible. And not only do they want people to see their brand, but they also want those people to create positive associations with that brand.
It’s a simple concept, and, of course, it’s an effective one. There’s a reason why companies like Amazon, Apple, Google, and Microsoft are the most highly recognized brands in the world, and it’s not just because they earn historic levels of revenue and have seemingly bottomless marketing budgets. Like any business, they had to do things that showed their customers value, over and over again, in order to create strong, positive brand associations.
One crucial aspect of building brand awareness is through the use of promotional products. The beauty of promotional products is that they can be just about anything, from pens and notebooks to water bottles and reusable bags, and so much more!
You can make the branded item complement your product or service, a particular sale or product release you want to publicize, or you can simply use promotional products to keep your brand top of mind with your existing and potential customers.
Here are some of the most common reasons brands choose promotional products
They are promotional — and practical! Every time your customer picks up the pen featuring your brand, it’s a moment where your business enters into their mind. No other form of advertising can do this!
Promotional products can strengthen your customer relationships. Many businesses use the holiday season as an opportunity to say thank you to their customers, and they use promotional products as the vehicle to express their appreciation. Use this as a means of telling your brand’s story. Your customers will feel appreciated, and this just might increase next year’s sales!
Promotional products are a way to showcase the quality and imagination of your brand. When choosing promotional products, consider the way in which you want your brand to be perceived. Choose quality items that can be associated with the quality of your service and clever products that stand out from the competition.
4 things to consider when choosing promotional products
Brand colors — Your promo products should always match your brand!
Logo treatment — Is your logo and contact info easy to read? Legibility is vital!
Practicality — Will folks actually use or remember this product?
Quality — Be wary of using low-quality products that might create negative associations
