Everywhere we turn there is advertising of some sort or another…online, in a magazine, in the bus, and on and on.  With all of the clutter traditional forms of advertising like Promotional Products are still be used everyday and to great effect.

Promotional Products allow your prospects and customers to…

• See your brand
• Interact with your brand
• Associate your brand with the product
• Recognize your brand over and over

What’s Promotional Products Should You Use?

It really depends on the type of business that you have and your budget but some of the following are the most popular…

1. Stationary - notepads, pens, pencils, rulers, erasers
2. Bags
3. Business items – business card holder, address book, laptop sleeve
4. Desk Accessories – Mugs, Glass, Calendars
5. Clothing: T-shirts, caps, hats, socks, gloves, sweat bands

Know your Niche

What niche do you sell to.  What does this target market like?  What are their interests?  If you are in the fitness industry than t-shirts, caps and sweatbands would be good picks.  If you are targeting businesses or corporate types then desk supplies and stationary would work better.

Less is More

A a product that is subtle and will be kept and used more.

How should you hand them out?

Like everything in marketing, it depends, but direct mail for new customers is a good play if you have the budget.   You could use the promotional product as an icebreaker for a followup call.

Trade shows are also good places to hand out promotional products.

It’s also nice to hand them out to promising prospects or good customers as a salesmen sees fit during their normal dealings.

“Free Stuff” will earn you and your company some attention.  Once you have their attention, it’s time to hit while the iron is hot. Make sure to get contact information for each item given so that you can follow-up.  Following up is the difference between successful and unsuccessful promotions and salespeople.

Is it easy to implement?

Yes but make sure you have all your bases covered and consult well seasoned pros to help you with your products.

Idlebrook has a virtually limitless selection of promotional products to fit every budget and branding strategy. Idlebrook has long lasting relationships with countless promotional product suppliers, allowing us to be the one trusted source for all your promotional needs. We are constantly searching for the smartest, most creative new products to deliver your brand message.
