subject: Silicone Wristbands - A Great Promotional Product [print this page] Silicone wristbands are a very low-cost and flashy promotional product. Its tough to envision these little bracelets being effective, but really its all in how you are using them. Let me run through a few different scenarios. Hopefully these will not only apply to your situation but also help you save tremendous amounts of money in the area of promotions by using silicone wristbands. Organization Attending an Expo Ive learned one thing at expos: people cant stand handouts. Did you know over half of the business cards get tossed in the waste basket? Im sure you had some idea when you saw that you were out of business cards and the phones werent ringing off the hook. So, the thing that tends to be effective with wristbands is the fact that the person will wear them. In fact, most of the time they wear the wrist bands as soon as they receive them. Dont get me wrong your organization still needs to have a great product and presentation but the fact that your potential customer will be wearing your website and phone number will increase the chances of them remembering you even more. Promoting an Upcoming Event School clubs and other groups often hold large events. Sometimes its good to start promoting these events 6-8 months before it actually happens. This will insure that you have a lot of people at your event and arent scrambling at the last second to try and tell everyone about it. In an institutional culture silicone wristbands work really well. You should put the event name and date on the wristbands. Use the appropriate color scheme if necessary. Political Promotion Politics can put a whole through your wallet if one is not careful. This is why one must focus on really reaching out to the people and also giving the people a way to get back to them via promotional products. Holding rallys, giving powerful speeches, and giving all your biggest fans an inexpensive product like wristbands to remember you by is what its all about. For further advertising purposes you could put your campaign website on the wrist bands as well. Spreading Awareness on a Specific Subject Many issues are happening all over the world. As Im writing this, there was just a horrible earthquake in Haiti. Many lives were lost. Awareness wristbands really help to remember these people and also to raise money for the relief. Its key that wristbands are inexpensive, because for a tragic happening like this, you shouldnt be spending much money. To Reward Good Behavior at School When a student practices good behavior like breaking up a fight or helping someone out, then they should be rewarded somehow. The question is how? Every school is different. I recommend wristbands with the schools logo and a cool saying like The Ultimate Lion or whatever you schools name is. These are just a few ways that you can use silicone wristbands as a promotional product. There are dozens of ideas floating around and still some that need to be discovered. The fact that silicone wrist bands can be customized, make them a very hot promo item. Another great thing is that wristbands can be produced very fast. This is great, if youre like me, because now you dont have to worry about your promo products being delayed. On top of all the other good stuff, silicone wristbands are very easy to produce- so expect you product to be exactly how you designed it! Learn more about silicone wristbands!
