Why should your business use Promotional Products?

The 7 “secret” reasons why your business should use promotional products:

1. Increase brand awareness
2. Increase brand loyalty
3. Build and consolidate relationships
4. Promote a call to action
5. Provide a cost effective method of marketing
6. Receive exposure longevity
7. Promotional products add value and can be lots of fun!

1. Increase brand awareness

Promotional products help customers to remember a company’s name, and have the potential to expose the business to new clients.

2. Increase brand loyalty

The easiest customer to sell to is an existing customer. Rather than continually trying to attract new customers, reward your existing customers and benefit from the lifetime value of the customer.

3. Build and consolidate relationships

Reward loyalty as stated above, and build relationships with prospective clients. Going over and above what everyone else does is a sure fire way the impress new prospects.

4. Promote a call to action

Use promotional products to encourage your targeted audience to undertake a specific action. Call a certain number, fill out a survey etc.

5. Provide a cost effective method of marketing

Promotional products are an affordable advertising method for almost any business. Promotional products offer the ability for long-term results from a one-off cost.

6. Receive exposure longevity

The reach and use of a promotional item can be extensive and extend to recipients not initially intended for its use. Compared to traditional advertising mediums, once the ad is finished, so is your exposure. The beauty of promotional products are that the recipient, or even a successor of the original recipient, can use your product and receive your message.

7. Promotional products add value and can be lots of fun!

If appropriate and thoughtful promotional products are used, recipients will be extremely thankful, and respond to your advertising in an extremely positive manner. Conversely using humour, unique or fun products can stick in the mind of potential customers.

There is a lot of flexibility in being able to produce campaigns, in cost, targeting and merchandise. By targeting your marketing to selected audiences, you can increase the effectiveness of your marketing campaign.

In fact there is no way of measuring just how long your promotional product will continue to keep working for you. This must surely make promotional products the lowest form of advertising for a business.
