subject: Smart Giveaway Ideas To Use With Promotional Merchandise [print this page] Many companies have learned that it makes a lot of sense to have promotional merchandise that advertises their company for sale or giveaway in their business. But another great idea is getting outside of the business with some of these items to try and get people curious about what you have to offer them. You would be amazed by the attention that you can get for your company by having a table in a public place and giving things to people that stop to talk.
Public places where people are relaxing and having fun are a great spot to give out some logo items. It is smart to pick spaces that will work with the products or services that you offer. For example, if you sell boating and outdoor recreation supplies then you could get some attention from possible customers by showing off your products in use. A great way to get people interested in your products and to generate some future sales is to show people what you have to offer.
One way to get someone interested in purchasing your products is to show people how fun they are. If you sell some of those awesome float things that hook up to the back of motorboats and get pulled you could show these off at a lake that has a good crowd. If you took people on turns riding behind the boat you could have someone on the shore giving away promotional floats for people to take home. This gives them a chance to try out the product and the giveaway gives them a way to remember your company.
If you are showing off water toys at a lake then you will want to have giveaways that can be used on the water. Inexpensive blow up toys are a good choice as well as floating key chains. To advertise the fact that your business is actively promoting you will want to have something to show off your presence, such as some big beach umbrellas or bright balloons with your logo.
One of the best advertising techniques is to have people out and about handing out coupons. Many bars do this. They send out ambassadors that look good to hand out free passes and drink coupons. This can work with a business that sells outdoor supplies too. You send out some cute people wearing company t-shirts and swim suits with coupons and they will attract plenty of attention to your business.
