Getting a business to take off is not that easy especially for new ones that have just made its entry into the market. Constant and random advertising is needed, something that is unusual and interesting and that will get people talking and make the name of your company or the product that you are selling well known by majority of the people. Sounds easy right? In real world however most adverts fall short of their expectations and produce short lived results that leave much more to be desired. Well then why not go for promotional gifts and items? This is one way of advertising that will definitely guarantee a wider audience than any television advert (which is expensive to keep on air because of the ridiculous prices that are tagged on them especially if run in the middle of a major television show that generates a massive audience). There is nothing in this world that people are more fond of than free stuff and anytime that a company has some free things it is offering, then there is as sure a chance of attracting a huge number of people. The goal here is not to go around being generous; it is using this fact to your advantage. Make an offer like, ‘buy two get the third absolutely free’ or ‘get 50%discount for the second item you purchase that is of equal or higher price’. If you in doubt whether this will work then yes. It has had a long history of success. Printing of logos is an ingenious idea. This can be on mugs, t shirts, umbrellas and anything else that can come to mind and is realistic. This requires a fun day for the company or a meeting where you are sure that the audience will take home the items with them. In close relation with this is this is giving away of free products like branded bags or caps for anything that the customers buy from the company. This is a great idea since you can tag these gifts to most of the products while still retaining enough to build worthy profits. Depending on the company the choice of branding of logos will be from simple things like plastic bags, moving upwards to stationery and related stuff. The corporate leaders can come up with more technical gifts like watches that are sure to hang around with the customers for as long as possible. The main goal of using promotional items goes beyond advertising. It is a way that the company moves closer to the market by giving back to the community and establishing unspoken relationships. Besides, it is a way of getting good reviews and positive impressions that the company is part of the community and that it has a lot more to offer than what they see on the supermarket shelves. Employees also get part of the cake in promotional items by getting salary increments and tour packages to improve their productivity.
