Why is Promotional Merchandise Such a Powerful Marketing Tool?

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

The whole point of any marketing exercise is to change the behaviours of clients and other potential customers. You need to grab their attention and change their buying habits; to choose your products or services in preference to those of your competitors. With so many marketing options when planning your marketing campaign, which pathway is going to make the most marked difference and bring in the most business? Promotional gifts have many distinct advantages over other marketing methods, such as printed media, TV or radio, some of which we can explore.

Targeted
One particular advantage of promotional gifts is that they can be easily targeted towards your identified consumer demographic. When you identify the group most likely to respond positively to your marketing messages a controlled distribution of your promotional merchandise among this group would be expected to maximise potential return on your marketing investment.

Longevity
Another advantage of promotional merchandise over and above traditional methods is their general longevity. Many promotional items can have a prolonged lifetime, compared to the brief contact of TV or radio, or the instantly discarded nature of printed media. Well chosen, useful promotional gifts will be retained and used time after time, ensuring your marketing messages are seen repeatedly over a greater period of time. This means your brand becomes stronger in the recipients’ mind from just the one outlay and with your contact details printed onto your chosen gift; you can be easily contacted when your products or services are required.

Engaging
As promotional gifts are a tangible item, they can appeal to the senses more than other media and are therefore better to engage the interest of your customer than other media. The more tactile, attractive, fragrant, tasty or musical a gift is, the more positive the response, and the more potent it will be as a marketing tool. The recipients’ enjoyment and appreciation of your promotional gift will enhance perception of your company and encourage them to give you their business.

Impact
A well considered and presented promotional gift will bring about a positive response and consequently have more impact both immediately and in the longer term. This positive ‘vibe’ will transfer easily to your company products or services which will also have a positive effect on your bottom line with enhanced customer recall and action.

Complimentary
While promotional merchandise can work perfectly well by itself, it can also be powerful alongside other more traditional marketing methods. By incorporating promotional gifts into a larger marketing campaign, you are providing a physical back-up to compliment, support and enhance your impact. This backs up your marketing messages and increases recall for your company.

Good promotional products grab people’s interest. They demand instant attention, and retention of your gift should provide an ongoing reminder of what your company has to offer. Compared to other promotional media such as TV or glossy print advertising, promotional gifts are a potent and inexpensive marketing option for businesses large and small.

If you make promotional merchandise part of your on-going marketing strategy you will have a powerful tool to grab your clients’ attention and drive home your marketing messages.

Picture your Brand with Promotional Cameras

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Promotional single use cameras are such a great idea for so many varied occasions. These low-cost highly appreciated promotional items lend themselves easily to promoting your company or brand all sorts of events and promotions. Cameras are generally associated with interesting, fun and memorable times, so using them as a promotional item confers this feeling in the recipients. Promotional cameras are ideal if you want to create an up-beat and lively mood for your event or project.

The single-use cameras from PG Branding come complete with a 24 exposure film and flash if required, and the whole wrap-round jacket can be customised with a 4 colour process. The result is a very high impact promotional gift which will display your company brand and marketing messages to great advantage wherever you place them.

Just a couple of ideas…

Corporate Events and Conferences
Single-use cameras distributed among your employees and colleagues can create a lively and fun atmosphere. Maybe set them a theme, challenge or task to record with their camera, or just to get out and see the sights and maybe record a unique view on the venue or event. Let them take their cameras home to serve as a reminder of the occasion or collect them all in afterwards for a fantastic picture archive to use for conference feedback, to support and illustrate positive comment and future promotions. All helps the ‘feel good’ factor and fosters positive memories and associations, while also supporting the messages, attitudes and targets you are intending to be taken away from your event.

New Product Launch
Include a printed camera as part of an introductory package for new products and services. Perhaps set a competition for photos using or relating to the new product. You could also provide another incentive for people to return the used cameras by offering free products or additional promotional gifts. This can be used to gather info about your customers and/or provide visuals for further promotional use, while also engaging your customers with your company and products, all of which pushes forwards towards more sales.

There must be many more creative ways to successfully utilise custom-printed single use cameras to promote your business.

Anyone?
