Businesses, small and mid size are always on the lookout for new and exciting marketing strategies. Individuals plugging their own small businesses or products, also need cost effective ways to promote business. Business cards are great, but often get lost in a pile, handbag, car floor or inadvertently tossed out.
Promotional products are a great way to keep your business in the hands of all your potential customers. Items such as travel mugs, key chains, reusable lunch bags, water bottles, "chip" clips, tote bags or refrigerator magnets can be produced with your company name and logo. Office supplies are a big hit also. Items such as computer mouse pads, pens, and note pads are inexpensive, fun to use, and keep your name in sight on a daily basis for most people. These are great items to give to your best customers so they'll recommend your business or to pass out at fairs or other public gatherings.
Whether you own a restaurant, do home improvements, provide medical, pet, or decorating services, you want people to remember what you do. You will want people to call you when they need your product or service. When they see your magnet on their fridge or reach for your pen or notepad, or drink from your coffee mug, they will know who to call.
Providing great customer service is the best way to attract new and keep present customers, but you also need them to remember to recommend you to their friends, colleagues, and family. When they see your promotional items surrounding them, they will remember fondly the service and the people from whom they got these products. They will be more likely to use your service or business again and refer you to others. Providing daily reminders of your service is the best small investment you can make to promote your product and service.
When your promotional item is seen and it is eye catching, people will take notice. Imagine how business can grow. A co worker asks about a physical therapist whose logo mug they see on a desk. A woman in her neighbor's home for a quick hello sees a magnet or chip clip with the name of a local plumber or handyman and comments, "The paint job looks great! I'm going to call them."
