Promoting your business can take a
lot of toll in your resources. When promoting your brand, you are not only
limited to using mass media but also other strategies including promotional
products. Giving away promo items is a great marketing strategy if you are
still a new company and you want to establish your brand in the local market.
However, this does not mean that it is cheaper than TV advertisements. In fact,
there are many entrepreneurs who spend
twice as much on their promo products than on creating TV ads. Although this
may be the case, there are still ways for you to take advantage of promotional
advertising and your best course is to use inexpensive promo items.
Why Use Inexpensive Promotional Items
Just because promotional products are
cheap does not mean that they are no longer effective. There are many
inexpensive advertising gifts that you can choose from and most of these items
are classic and timeless promotional gifts. Examples of these products include
pens, calendars, mugs and fridge magnets. The best thing about these products
is that they have been tried and tested by time to rouse the curiosity of your
customers. Other entrepreneurs give away samples of their products as a form of
promotional advertising so that people can try them out for free and see if
they like them. The reason why we use cheap promotional items is to test the
market. If people receive your products warmly then great. If not, then you
only lost a little by investing on them.
How To Make Cheap Promotional Products Effective?
Cheap promotional products are
usually common items that people already have. As mentioned earlier, great
examples are your usual calendars, pens
and mugs but how do you make these trivial and mundane items effective? The
answer to this question is to design them professionally. Make sure that you
add your company logo to the promo item and also make sure that the item is
related to your business so that people can easily associate it to your brand. Just because they are cheap does not mean that
you should be contented in having a sloppy design of your promotional items.
Once you have already decided the cheap advertising gifts to give
to your clients, you can then plan your distribution. The best way to hand them
out is to join trade shows, product launch and even job fairs because of the
high volume of traffic that might be converted to potential customers in the
future.
