subject: Being Seen With Promotional Items [print this page] First rule of thumb in business is obviously, "take care of the customer". There is an old saying, maybe you have heard it; Take care of the customer and they will take care of you. Having repeat and loyal customers and a good customer service will keep your doors open. Running advertised sales events will let everyone know where to shop for the good deals.
Having a good business/customer working relationship is very good for business. Giving back to your customer base is another way of showing regular and potential future customers they are special and you want to honor them. Having free giveaway business promotional items for everyone without spending a fortune is very easily achieved and should be an annual or semi-annual event. It will pay for itself and then some.
Promotional items are everywhere. In peoples pockets, purses, cars, homes and offices. There are thousands of small inexpensive items that would look great with your company logo and information to give away to customers and the buying public in general. Small useful everyday items like, key chains, cell phone and ipod skins just to name a few good advertising items.
Having a usable handy product that people will use, is a good way to advertise your business. Everyone shops. Giving away free reusable shopping bags and tote bags with your company name, logo and information in bright bold letters and colors or the subdued simple theme will get the attention when seen in public. Having this same information on small personal coolers for the park, pool or work, is a great way to get business exposure. Free is always good for everyone.
Having great promotion items to give away is great. Making sure they work the hardest they can for you, might require a little brainstorming. Logo ed pencils might have a greater impact if they were distributed in schools in bulk. Having more expensive gifts would be a great surprise for your regular customers. Having a different nice gift for anyone who has ever been in or purchased anything from your company will be a welcome good gesture.
