Brand Your Business: Fair Trade

Promotional Products can be used in many different, but equally effective ways.  You can use them strictly as a  giveaway, distributing them to current and potential customers to be used as a way to increase awareness of your business or organization.  You can use them as an added value enticement for when your customers make a specific purchase - think of it like getting the "free" wine glass when you pay for a tasting.  You can even use them as point of sale merchandise- selling branded products at your salon, inn, bar or school.  One of the smartest ways you can use promos, however is as a lure to gain information about potential customers, or to get them to accept information from you as to your services and products.  Many people would be happy to fill out a survey, accept a pamphlet, or even supply you with an email address if it is exchange for a free water bottle, jump rope, frisbee or other promotional item.  Now you are gaining experience for your organization as well as developing a stronger database of potential customers.  No matter which way you decide to use them, promotional products are always as effective way of branding your business and increasing your exposure.  Find the right promo for your business in our online catalog or contact us for more information today.

Brand Your Business: How do you measure up?

As discussed previously, sometimes the best promotional products aren't even the ones which directly tie into the type of service you offer, but are the ones most likely to be used by the customers you give them to.  How do you make such a choice?  Well, take a look around your house and see which promos you've been given over the years which you have hung onto.  Rulers, magnets, pens, and calendars are definitely tried and true options. One of my favorite giveaways is always a measuring tape. You always need them, and yet who wants to carry around the giant, heavy metal one from the tool box?  Imprint the front with your business logo and contact information, and you have a business card that is going to be looked at and handled time and time again, keeping your business in front of its customers for years to come.  For this and other promotional product ideas, contact us today.

Sometimes it's all of the above.  Drawing people to your business is crucial to staying afloat.  Promotional products to the rescue!  We love these custom printed large lawn-flags.  They are attention-getting while still being attractive - and are completely customizable to deliver just the visual message you need to draw the eye of your potential customers.  For more ways promotional items can help you grow your business, check out our online catalog or contact us today.

Brand your Business: "Stick" in people's minds

No matter what your business or organization, I'm betting you can use these foil stamped labels.  Whether for use on correspondence or labeling your products, foil stamped labels are an attractive way to reinforce your brand.  I once worked at a Framed Art store and each picture we sold, or custom framed  got a foil stamped label stuck on the back.  Not only was this a way to make the entire product look more complete and professional, but it also severed as a little reminder for them where they found such a beautiful piece. I often see these labels in gift shops, farmers markets, candy stores and other unique, independent shops to seal a package. In fact, a nice foil label placed on a plain paper bag can be an affordable alternative to having an expensive "hot stamped" custom shopping bag produced.  Whichever way you choose to use them, foil stamped labels can certainly help you brand your business.
