Show up for Events in the Community Park

May 16, 2018 By BIll

This article could give your clients some ideas for the summer. Send the Promotional Times to your clients and prospects each month.

The arrival of spring brings warmer days and events begin to move outdoors! Movies, concerts, and family sessions are starting to become regular things; dining and lounging al fresco and people watching is kicking off again.

Find out when the next event is and reach out to who’s putting it on. Many of these organizations are nonprofits looking for community sponsors to provide some of the extras to keep the events moving. Team up for a ticket package and offer up these foldable picnic blankets with a family pack of tickets. You’ll get the exposure at the event with your brand on the blanket, be mentioned in signage, and continue that exposure every time the recipients spread out to picnic all spring and summer long.

May 10, 2018 By BIll

This is an article that will get your clients talking. Your company will see the benefits of sending these idea generating Newsletters each month. The featured items are linked to your website with the exact or similar item.

 

Air travel has become more difficult over the years with the special attention paid to liquids and the long lines in security.

Provide some relief from the expensive hassle of getting through the airport and provide your clients and staff with a lightweight and sharp looking bottle to refill once they’ve made it through!

These opera bottles are extremely lightweight with a tight seal, sure to be easy to transport empty and won’t leak onto the prized carry-ons while jostling around to get situated in the seat. Their high-color design will carry your logo professionally. Recipients of the bottles will be happy to save some cash on their big travel day, but the bottles will also show up again in purses, at the gym, on trips to the park, and even on every day car rides.

Lanyards Make the Connection That Lasts

February 10, 2017 By BIll

Lanyards were originally used by the military to keep something close at hand, whether it was a pistol, a sword, or whistle. Today we find them useful to keep things nearby, such as keys, an ID, a whistle, eyeglasses or just about anything. Because they are useful, they’re a great promotional product. They’re great for schools, groups, organizations and tradeshows.   They also come with a choice of split rings, bulldog clips or swivel hooks on the end. And for those who want BLING, you can get BLING!

A school might wish to place their name and logo on the lanyards and sell them to students. But Barney’s local restaurant can express their support by giving students lanyards that say “ Barney’s Supports Northside High” or something similar. By giving them away to students, the students now have a connection to Barney’s. And by wearing the lanyard, they are actually advertising for Barney’s. What a great way to show support to the local school and be rewarded for doing so!

You can boost your exposure using a free marketing team…just give lanyards with your name and logo to any local group. You can ensure the lanyards are being worn if you add something to go along with it, such as a hand sanitizer, an ID badge, or a whistle. For example, adults with young children probably need a hand sanitizer attached to them at all times. Any group where people need to know the names of each other is a candidate for the ID badges. Why not offer a lanyard with a whistle for anyone offering self-defense classes? The options are endless. Call us and let us help you market your business using the right promotional products to make your connections last.

SELECT THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

January 19, 2017 By BIll

Select the right promotional products to meet your needs. Don’t just throw some money in the barrel, or shotgun your dollars to find a one-size-fits-all product. You can maximize your results by targeting your dollars toward your goals.   Rely upon your promotional products experts to help you sort through products and select the right ones to meet your goals.

 

 

 

First ask yourself, “WHAT do I want to accomplish?” Be specific about what you want to do. Is it to…

Say thanks to good customers?

Publicize an upcoming event?

Educate people?

Keep your name in front of clients or potential clients?

Motivate your employees?

 

Then think about WHO your target is for this mission. It could be…

High level executives; or

The gatekeepers at big companies; or

Small business owners; or

Salespeople; or

Local teenagers; or

Parents of school children; or

The general public; or

Any group.

Now consider what products might be used again and again by members of the group you are targeting. For example, someone that sits at a desk most of the day might find a paperweight or desk clock useful,

Don’t Forget the Kids!

January 16, 2017 By BIll

Don’t Forget the Kids!

Building a relationship with the entire family is important for business. Studies show that children as young as three have strong brand recognition. Building a rapport with kids can create life long relationships and brand loyalty. One report stated that children are not only great purchasers but also exhibit great influence on their parents purchase decisions. Children’s influence on the market is estimated to be around $1.88 trillion.

For years Delta Air Lines gave out “tiny fliers” to their younger passengers. This tiny pin featuring wings and the Delta logo influenced their parents decision to use that airline, and as adults these children accumulated frequent flyer miles with that company. Remembering the children with something as small as a pin, a packet of crayons, or a balloon can influence repeat business.

Larger items, like cool decorative pens, can become a part of a child’s toy box. Kids will take an item like this with them to places like show and tell at school. Giving a child their favorite item can inspire a lifelong love for your company and show the parents that you care.

A kid’s kit with your brand name imprinted on it can be of fun for children and something they show their friends. This can create additional traffic to your business as children encourage their friends to get their own.

Remember Your Clients on Valentines Day

January 12, 2017 By BIll

This Valentine’s Day don’t forget to show your clients how much you appreciate them. Send them something with a personal touch. A small boutique in Atlanta started sending hand written thank you notes to its customers last year. The notes were personal, sighting the items the clients bought and wishing them happiness with their purchase. The hand written notes took more time and effort than an email, however they created a personal relationship between the sales clerk and the customer. This year that small boutique has grown enormously because of their loyal customer following.

You build a relationship with your clients by letting them know that you appreciate them. Add notes to the card about referencing things you have talked about with your clients or details that let them know that you are thinking about them specifically while you are writing the card. Make them feel like they are not just part of an assembly line. They will remember the sentiment and come back for business.

In addition to sending a note, send a great promotional item to your client with a touch of Valentines Day spirit, like a teddy bear or a heart shaped key chain. Pick something that lets your clients know that you are thinking of them and appreciate them. Another wonderful idea is if you know something that your client might find useful or something they might need. Clients are more likely to come back if you send them a promotional item.

Quotable Quotes-Steve Jobs

November 15, 2016 By BIll

Steve Jobs

“A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.”
