5 Great Ways to Build Brand Loyalty with Promotional Desktop Gifts

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010


Have you ever noticed that some of the most successful businesses become household names? This phenomenon is not a coincidence, but a result of innovative marketing that builds brand loyalty. You constantly hear certain businesses mentioned by friends, family, and perhaps co-workers. The reason for the popularity of these businesses is that they generate brand loyalty in effective ways, such as through promotional desktop gifts.

There are many ways to help your business achieve this same level of professionalism and popularity, and this article will help you. This article will provide 5 great ways to help your business use promotional desktop gifts to build brand loyalty and create customer satisfaction.

1. Gifting Top Customers with Promotional Desktop Gifts
One effective way to make customers confident in your brand name is through promotional desktop gifts. When your brand provides top customers with promotional gifts, they begin to associate your brand with consistency and satisfaction. Seeing your brand’s logo on a desktop gift, top customers will be reminded of your company’s solid name and strong values.

2. Rewarding Employees with Promotional Desktop Gifts
Promotional desktop gifts help boost worker productivity. Gifts, such as printed mugs, pens, mouse mats, or even stress toys, help employees feel their workplace is reputable, established, and successful. Employees feel they can trust the leaders of a company, which is critical for employees working their best within a company. Try rewarding employees that reach certain company goals or sales with promotional desktop gifts. Employees will feel valued with desktop products and will stay very interested in the brand name.

3. Trade Shows and Business Expos
Often, companies gather at trade shows to show off their latest and most cutting edge products. However, this “showcasing” can only help companies that potential clients remember. Promotional gifts solve this problem and make your company memorable amongst clients. Clients can take a printed mug back to their work place and will remember your brand name and contact information. Promotional desktop gifts also make booths more exciting at trade shows and business expos and generate interest in your product.

4. Fundraisers for Charities
The latest way to use promotional desktop gifts is by actually helping other causes like AIDS, world hunger, breast cancer, and diabetes. Your business may want to consider hosting a promotion in which customers spend a certain amount of money, and a part of it goes to helping AIDS or diabetes. In addition, customers receive a promotional desktop gift for helping a charity. This helps customers view your brand in a charitable, respected, and generous light.

5. Providing Supplies to Schools or Universities
This is a fantastic way to build brand loyalty and potentially increase sales. Perhaps you own a computer business, and a local school is in need or supplies like pens, flash drives, or notebooks. Your company can provide these supplies with printed logos on them to the school. Not only is this a good service for the community, but it also generates interest among teachers and parents in your computer business. Providing one class with school supplies may mean your business sells 10 or 15 computers!

These are 5 great ways to get you started in building brand loyalty with promotional desktop gifts. The key is to be creative, and perhaps a bit generous, and your business will reap the rewards.

5 Ways Promotional Desktop Gifts Work

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

It goes without saying that marketing has changed over the past few years.  Outbound marketing that has interrupted our daily lives for years is discouraged in favour of more inbound methods such as article marketing and social media marketing.  One thing that has not changed, however, is the effectiveness of good quality promotional desktop gifts.  Promotional gifts can be used in a number of ways.  Your customers will love you for giving them promotional merchandise that is catered to their needs.  Desktop gifts do not interrupt like those spam emails, annoying telephone calls and pop-up banners.  They simply promote your business in a concise, respectful way.  Here I would like to show you five ways promotional desktop gifts can be used to promote your business.

Promote Your Website

Business gifts are ideal for getting your customers and target customers to your website.  If you have a site that you would like to show off, make sure people know where to find it.  By printing your logo, website address and other details onto top quality desktop gifts such as mouse mats, clocks, pen holders and coaster, you are ensuring that your target audience knows how to find you when they require your services.

Promote Your New Address

Have you moved office lately?  Promotional merchandise is a brilliant way of getting the message out.  These gifts need not be expensive.  Inexpensive gift ideas for promotion include coasters, mouse mats and of course promotional pens.

Promote An Event

If you are sponsoring or attending an important event, let your target customers know with inexpensive gifts that they can use daily.  This will ensure that they know about your upcoming event.  Gifts like these increase the chance that they will attend the event.

Promote A New Employee

Business gifts are icebreakers.  If you have a new marketing manager or sales representative, arm them with good quality promotional pens, coasters, rulers, or mouse mats with your company name and their contact details to leave with new and existing customers.  Promotional printed gifts are so much better than boring business cards.

Promote Your Business With a Competition

People love free stuff.  Why not have a weekly competition on your Facebook ‘Like’ page or for readers of your blog.  Handing out inexpensive promotional desktop gifts such as mouse mats, mugs and coasters printed with your logo and details will make the competition winners happy and keep your details within view.

Promotional Desktop Gifts Promote Your Brand Daily

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Promotional desktop gifts offer a form of advertising that is truly unique. Instead of being invasive, promotional desktop gifts advertise businesses in a way that is respectful, reveals an established reputation, and subtle in a stylish manner. People respect businesses that create desktop gifts with company logos on them, because it shows these businesses are serious.

Perhaps you own a computer business and are looking for marketing solutions. One great form of promoting your business brand would be to create mouse mats and promotional mugs printed with your company logo. Hand them out to college students or at computer stores. As people use items like a promotional mouse mat, they will be more inclined to contact your business in the future if they have computer problems. Perhaps one day they are using the computer, and all of a sudden it crashes. Without access to a computer, the potential client is most likely to contact the computer business printed on the mouse mat. You can secure many future clients by using mouse mats as a way to promote your brand daily. This is just one of the ways promotional desktop gifts have uncanny ways of making businesses more successful.

When clients use promotional desktop gifts, you never know where they will be taking them. Perhaps the client takes a desktop gift to his or her own office. This can be the absolute best way of advertising your own brand. The client places his or her promotional mug on the desktop, and all of a sudden the whole office of people is asking about your business’s brand due to promotional products.

Or, even better, other businesses in the area will be interested in your brand because they have earned a subtle reference to your business. That’s right, promotional desktop gifts can actually serve as references that establish the great reputation of your business. If a certain person is seen using your promotional product on a desktop, it shows that that person values and respects your own business. This creates many positive associations that will benefit your business in innumerable ways.

Promotional desktop gifts are truly the way to go, if your business is looking to promote itself in the most respectful and cutting edge ways. In addition, if you own a new business, promotional desktop gifts can give your business the air of confidence it needs to be successful.

Promotional Products Like Mouse mats and Photo Mugs are Ideal Business Gifts

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Printed photo mugs and promotional mouse mats make prefect desktop gifts for business professionals. Whether you are a business seeking to establish a “name” or even a family, printed photo mugs and mouse mats are a practical gift for anyone. Printed photo mugs and mouse mats are gifts that will win the gratitude of business professionals, potential clients and/or or family members forever.

For companies that desire low cost promotional gifts, printed mouse mats are the way to go. These low cost promotional products can be designed any way a company wishes. Perhaps a company wants to attach its logo and a funny phrase onto a mouse mat. Maybe the company wants to create an elaborate photo capturing its building in a city scape on the mouse mat. The company can design the mouse mat however it chooses and it can do so for a low cost. The same idea is applied to printed photo mugs, which are also great promotional products for large and small businesses.

Printed photo mats can convey the technological knowledge of companies, which is very important in today’s modern world. Depending on the type of business, a potential client may want to know that a company understands how to use technology in the most innovative ways. Perhaps the business is a law firm, public relations company, or software company that a potential client is looking at. The client will probably choose the business he or she believes is well acquainted with technology, and that will probably be the one with photo mouse mats. For businesses like law firms, a client may have no idea what the technological background is for attorneys from that firm, given the information only provided on a website or in a pamphlet. A client may want to know that his or her attorney is comfortable with using the latest software or online research programs. By the simple marketing of a photo mouse mat, a client may feel strongly that one firm is more comfortable with technology than another firm. Photo mouse mats can provide the invaluable “edge” in situations like this, for promoting one’s business.

In addition to all of these positive factors, photo mugs and mouse mats are popular gifts amongst people. Clients will feel special if they are gifted with a photo mouse mat or mug for being committed clients. Promotional gifts like photo mugs and mouse mats can be great desktop gift ideas that have profound impacts on businesses.

7 Popular Mouse Mats for Promoting Your Business

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Mouse mats are excellent promotional gifts that can get your business name, logo and details right in front for your customers: on their desktops. They are more likely to pick the phone up to you or send you an email from their desktop. You want your contact details and logo there so that they can easily find you when they require your services, products and/or facilities. Here I list the top seven mouse pads for promotion.

Aqua Mats

This is a mouse mat that offers a soothing, stress relieving liquid filled service area. Two non-mixing liquids are encapsulated under a clear cover with a printed background. When you move your mouse over the mat, the two different coloured liquids move around inside. You can even add glitter or custom shapes that can move around in the liquid as well. When the mats are manufactured, small air bubbles get trapped inside which gives the illusion of there being more liquid inside than their really is.

Armadillo Mats

These are my personal favourite. Simple in design and also inexpensive these mats have a tough top layer which is welded to a soft expanded PVC base. The standard shapes are square, rectangular and circular but special shapes are possible and often requested.

HardTop Mouse Mats

This is the biggest selling mat in Europe. You see them everywhere. These mats offer the opportunity to print very high quality graphics for very little spend. The surface print is encapsulated under a clear overlay so the print will not wear off ever. The standard HardTop mats feature a 3mm foam base but thinner and 5mm foam base options are available.

Precision SoftMats

These lightweight thin mouse pads are ideal for postal campaigns. They are manufactured out to lay flat without slipping on the surface. Available in a large selection of colours they are perfect for use with optical mice.

Precision ToughMats™

These new mats are made to last. They are heavy and durable meaning they will last longer and stay on the desktop for longer too. The surface has been specially engineered for use with optical computer mice. People love heavy mouse mats. They are slightly more expensive than other mats but if your budget allows, you may want to consider these superior tough mouse pads.

ToughMats™

As the above mentioned precision mat but without the precision surface for optical mice. Not everyone has an optical mouse and even if they do, chances are they will find these mats do the job just fine.

SmartMats™

This is a low cost option that offers you top quality, sharp and bright print for those colourful images you want to get in front of your clients. This mat is by no means as durable as more expensive options but if you are on a tight budget and still want to give your customers a nice mouse pad printed with your details.

OK then, so where do you start? Contact compuGift on 01642 782455. We would be happy to supply you with samples of our work to assist you with your decision.

As always, it would be great to hear from you.  Please feel free to leave a comment.

3 Promotional Gift Ideas for The Technology Industry

Wednesday, March 31st, 2010
Mouse Mats

CompuGift is the Most Popular Promotional Mouse Mat Supplier in the UK!

Whether you are a retail business or a supplier working within the technology industry, it is fairly safe to assume that you wouldn’t mind more exposure for your business. Exposure equals more awareness of your brand and services, which will translate into higher sales. If this is something that appeals to you, then you might want to start handing promotional gifts to your clients and customers if you are currently not. Promotional products serve the dual purpose of raising awareness of your brand and showing your customers and clients that you appreciate them.

A USB flash drive is a fantastic promotional gift for the technology industry. If you work within the tech sector you undoubtedly know what a USB flash is and how it is widely used. The USB flash drives of today are not restricted to the shape of a small stick- there is now a wide array of shapes and sizes available. The larger shapes are more desirable for a promotional USB Flash drive because there is a larger area to print your company logo and URL address. The USB Flash drive can also be manufactured with preloaded company information and presentations.

Mouse mats are another logical promotional product for the technology industry. Practically everyone uses them and the large printable area has room for as much information as you would like to convey about your company, products and services. Promotional mouse mats are a very appreciated gift because they are constantly being replaced due to wear and dirtiness. Every time someone clicks the mouse on your promotional mousemat they will be reminded of your organization.

Stressballs also make a great promotional gift for the tech industry because of the amount of stress that can occur in a busy work environment. Promotional stress balls can be made in all kinds of industy-related shapes such as a computer, computer mouse or printer. Stress balls also have a higher rate of retention with their recipient, meaning they are less likely to be tossed aside and more likely to be used. A stress toy is often kept right on the desktop of its user, constantly reminding them and anyone else in the workplace of your company and it’s services.

There are many other types of promotional gifts that you can choose from. Your competition is no doubt handing your clients the standard promotional products like pens, mugs, and notepads. Such products are excellent and very popular but why not separate yourself from the others and give promotional gifts that are industry related and show that you are more creative and understanding of their needs. For more ideas about industry-related promotional gifts, contact CompuGift today.
