subject: The Gift Of Giving Can Help Your Business [print this page] There are many different ways to advertise, and if it will get your business exposure then its worth it. With that said, within your very own community are several possibilities to attract more attention to your business. It's a fact that if you have a television commercial, your business will be exposed to many viewers, but how many of those viewers will like what they see? Perhaps, a newspaper ad will do. It may be more affordable, but it does not guarantee that people would consider your business a good business.
Consider some type of charity work or donations to help your community. Doing this brings great exposure to business. When getting involved in charity, be sure to think about how it is going to effect your business. Be sure to devise a plan that will bring you the attention that you need, but it must be something that will positively impact the community. Exposure is key.
Charity work is always a good thing in spite of the recognition you may get. You can begin by giving away items that you have. Even if what you give away is not vital to life, it is still worth it. If the things that you give away are imprinted with your logo, then these gifts may give back to you in the long run in the form of advertising This is one of the reasons that giving away items to charity instead of cash is more beneficial.
A great place to start with donations are schools. If you have things that are creative and fun they will be well received. The school children will be particularly receptive to receiving gifts around the holidays. Schools have all types of fairs and events aimed at raising money for various needs. Using the fun things that you have as awards at these fairs is an excellent idea.
There are many fun things that you could use as giveaways for this. For older kids there are the Rubik's type cubes that can be imprinted with different designs. There are a lot of designs for these some with colors and funny faces on different sides of the puzzle and your logo on the other side. There are foam flying things that you can throw like Frisbees and even flyers that work like boomerangs when thrown. These are just a few of the items that you can have imprinted and give to schools to use for prizes. You are giving to a good cause and you are getting great long lasting exposure as well.
