subject: Making Promotional Conference Bags Succeed as Promotional Items by:Lottie Carrot [print this page] A lot of companies have the great luxury of being confident that their employees or staff members are able to advertise their company as they travel. This is because of promotional items like conference bags. However, even though these conference bags would be great promotional items that would be able to market the products and services that are offered by your company, they could be a bit expensive. If you are looking to save money, you could consider conference bags that are owned by the company rather than buying for specific employees. Here are a couple of wonderful tips for managing the release of conference bags that you have.
1. Store the conference bags that you have in an area, which could be accessed by all the people who would be using them. For instance, keeping them in your office would probably not be a good idea, as people would not be able to get one if you are not there and the door is locked.
2. Inform all the people in your office that you have conference bags available and also where they are kept. Even those employees who do not travel much should have access and information on where they are stored.
3. Set a policy as the bags are signed out and make everyone aware of that policy. If you only have five available bags and there are around ten people who use them, they could be handled by different people often. The sheet for signing them out should have basic information like the name, the date of the trip and when the bag was returned. This way, you would be able to keep track of the bags and who handled them in an organized way.
4. Set a policy for the missing or lost bags.
5. Ensure that the employees using the bags are cleaning them after they have used them. Also check if there are no personal belongings left by the previous user and toss out trash.
6. Make it a point that you personally assess the conditions of the bags. Have your employees report any damage they could be discovering in the bags. Replace them periodically so that you can make sure that they would always be seen in great condition in a way that would still fit the budget you have.
7. Before ordering, get some suggestions from your employees so that you are able to incorporate the features that they feel would be needed in a conference bag. This way, they would be more enthusiastic in using them and would end up being used often, which in turn gives your company massive exposure through the conference bags that they use. In this sense, they would be able to meet the promotional and advertising needs of your business.
