Attracting Customers By Using Unique Promotional Items

By Anthony Clark


Many companies will usually need to use advertising to improve sales or to draw new customers to their business. Advertising locally or on the internet has been a proven way of marketing for many years and is the route that many firms will take. A modern way to market a company is by using unique promotional items and there is a huge range of merchandise which will achieve good results.

A promotional item can come in many forms and some care is needed when you are deciding which ones to use. T shirts, baseball caps and other clothing with a company name or logo printed on are very popular and effective. Another method is by using specially recorded jingles or film footage featuring your company and products.

A lot of companies will attend exhibitions and conferences and hand out things that feature their name or logo. In recent years flash drives with text or pictures on have become very popular as give away items. Another modern day item that is proving a winner is mobile phone cases and tablet protectors which can be customized to advertise your services.

A lot of the larger companies with massive marketing budgets will use some very expensive forms of promotional tools. Cars, full sized robots and other forms of transport have been widely used and are a very effective way of attracting the attention of passing trade. Other large promotions have used hot air balloons, mini airships and even customized aircraft to boost the image of a company.

Giving away something for free is always a great way to attract new customers to your business. Food retailers often give away free samples of the products they have on sale and this will often result in increased sales. Giving free admission to children who have an accompanying adult with them is also a good idea when trying to boost trade.

When your marketing is trying to attract children it is important that any free things you give away to them is safe and suitable for minors. If you are buying promotional gear from an outside company you should ensure that it conforms to the safety standards in your area. Any item with small pieces or sharp edges should be avoided to prevent any injury.

If you need to get items made to promote your company there are places that will make and print these. Many web sites now specialize in promotional tools and after emailing them with your requirements they can advise you and start a batch of your chosen items. It is worth speaking with them before ordering as they may have some useful ideas that you may not have thought about.

When you are sourcing your promotional merchandise it is essential to use the best quality of product that your company can afford. If you are giving free stuff away and it falls apart or is not fit for purpose it may give your potential customers the wrong idea. When using any item of clothing to promote yourself you should always offer this in all sizes and in different colors if this is possible.
