Increasing Brand Awareness with Promotional Products

Sunday, October 17th, 2010
Promotional Piggy bank Picture

Promotional products are an ideal way to promote your brand.

So you have chosen a few promotional products which you feel will represent your brand in a positive way. Now it is time to get to work giving them to your target customers and employees so that they can do their stuff. But don’t stop there!

It is important to look at the use of promotional merchandise as an ongoing commitment to building your brand. Anyone who has advertised their business in magazines, newspapers or with TV and radio commercials will know that one hit advertising will almost certainly not be enough. Research has shown that a person needs to see a logo at least eight times on average before they really begin to take it in.

You need to target your customers with useful, good quality promotional items so that they see your logo and hopefully use your promotional gift regularly. You then need to continue sending or handing out gifts often to achieve maximum impact.

Think about the last time you received a promotional product in the post. Chances are, it was sent with an introduction or sales letter. If you were busy at the time, you might have taken the promotional item out of the envelop, scanned the letter and then put everything to the side so that you could continue doing what you were doing.

If the information in the letter looked interesting, you may have even made a mental note to come back to the letter when you had more time.

Now let’s say that the gift you received was a promotional plastic pen. You may have looked at it and put it in your shirt pocket or desk drawer. You may even have forgotten about the pen and letter all together.

This is normal.

Now back to your promotional products campaign. You most likely will not see amazing returns just because you put a promotional plastic pen in with your sales letter! It takes time and a lot of effort.

But if you work out a budget for your promotional products and spread your campaign out over a year – team your campaign with your excellent products and/or service the results will come.

One of my own suppliers does this very well. They are a manufacturer of promotional gift pens and often their gifts are – you guessed it – pens. But they also mix it all up from time to time.

Every invoice we receive includes an assortment of chocolates branded with their logo. They are gobbled up in accounts as quickly as they can get the envelop open. They actually look forward to opening their bills and let everyone else know it.

When my supplier sends letters or new catalogues they never forget to include a new pen or a few coasters, mouse mats or even a desk clock. All of these products are branded with their logo and my desktop often looks like an advertisement for their brand.

I know the brand much better than I would if they did not constantly sending useful – useful being the key word here – gifts. A few years ago I hardly knew who they were. I would send them the odd order but now they are one of my biggest and best suppliers. I know their brand. I see their logo daily. I use products printed with their logo daily.

They have of course backed their promotional products campaign up with exception products and service.

You can do the same with your target audience!

What do you think your first useful promotional gifts should be? Get them out there working for you. What, then should your second and third promotional gifts be? Keep it up and you are bound to reap the rewards. You will be increasing brand recognition. It isn’t difficult.
It’s just good marketing!

Promotional Pens and Folders are the Perfect Match

Promotional Pens and Conference Folders – The Perfect Team

Do you remember the first time you were invited to a conference or seminar, went to sit down to hear one of the many guest speakers and at each seat was a promotional gift pen and if you were lucky, a conference folder to go along with it?

Remember how cool you thought it was that you were getting something other than another yellow pad to write on? Chances are you not only remember the brand or speaker who gave you that promotional gift pen, but there is a good chance that you still have it somewhere. And that’s kind of the point.

Promotional gifts are given out to spread the word about a brand or company. Some have more lasting power than others. For instance promotional pens tend to last a while because they are an item that the receiver sees value in and continues to use, hence continuing to spread the brand name as others see the pen in use.

Consider for a minute though, how much more of an impression the promotional pen has when it is coupled with conference folders. The ability to have the paper and pen and folder to keep in all together in one place is quite enticing and a great business gift. In fact, the majority of promotional pens are given as gifts or give-aways.

Did you know that Christmas time is the most popular season in which to give promotional gifts? The reason? Clients, customers and employees truly enjoy the value of a gift that can be used. The absolute best gift you can think of would be coupling promotional gift pens and conference folders for those who you want to make a lasting impression with.

Can you remember the days when you were limited to the pen and promotional folder colours you could choose? I sure can.

Now when you are planning to use them for your gift giving, you have many styles and designs to select from. In addition, the conference folders you can get to accompany them also come in quite an array of designs. When you put them together, you can and will have a unique gift that any employee, customer or client is sure to appreciate and remember.

Now is the perfect time to start preparing your list for promotional Christmas gifts? Perhaps you are looking for something a bit special? Think about combining promotional gift pens and conference folders for that perfect match that is sure to not only be used, but continue to keep your brand name visible for months if not years to come.

Promotional Desktop Gifts at the Coffee Shop and Ice Cream Parlour

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
Desktop gifts

Promotional desktop gifts can be personalised to match your corporate image.

How cool is this? I’m sitting at my local coffee shop on a Sunday afternoon typing this article on my new iPad. I’m not implying that I am some sort of cool individual but it’s the setting. How many of you could have imagined working outside the office like this just ten years ago?

Now I can look around and their are at least ten other people, just like me working at their favourite daytime hangout and it is even busier during the work week! Every day people are going to their favourite haunts to work and socialise in a way that was never before possible.

New times call for new types of promotions. The coffee house and even ice cream parlour is becoming an office outside the office. These establishments’ new kudos as the place to be and work have made them so popular that people want to take a piece of them back to the office and home. The great thing is they often do so in the form of promotional items and promotional desktop gifts.

Case in point, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream recently put together an amazing collection of promotional desktop gifts that anyone would want to have and use as their own. The collection included a blue Senator Challenger Icy pen and a green Senator Akzento pen. Both were printed with their logo.

In addition to these very popular promotional plastic pens, the desktop collection included a blue A5 soft feel Skuba folder and pad that was printed digitally for exceptional good colour quality.

Ben & Jerry’s also included sticky note cases in Skuba material and a digitally printed promotional mug. The result was amazing and really something to behold.

You can have this too for your business.

Have you ever considered how people view your establishment or perhaps how you would like them to see your business? Using good quality promotional gifts can go a long way toward building that ideal picture!

You don’t need to just purchase off the shelf products. You can have your desktop giveaways colour matched so that they look as though they were made with your business in mind.

So what are you waiting for. All of these top quality gifts are available at CompuGift. Samples are no problem! We would love to help you promote your business in this unique way just as Ben and Jerry’s did!

Promotional Gifts-3 Ideas for Building Your Brand

Friday, September 10th, 2010
Tri Fold World Time Clock

The Tri-fold world time clock is a favourite executive gifts

There are many ways to use promotional merchandise. Three ways really stand out which I would like to introduce here.

There are the promotional gifts you give away to your best customers and employees. Then there are the incentives you give your employees for a job well done. And lastly there is the promotional merchandise you keep for your own in-house brand building. Use these promotional products correctly and you will take your brand to the next level.

In-house Promotional Products

Try to imagine the perfect office atmosphere. You know – the office that looks like everyone enjoys being there and is working toward a common goal.

More often than not, this office will have a strong brand presence. There could be personalised leather coasters and conference folders in the boardroom. You may be offered a drink in one of their logo engraved glasses or photo printed mugs. Often the staff right up to the CEO will be wearing some type of corporate uniform from classy embroidered polo shirts to stylish ties and scarves.

These little touches get noticed. How could they not be noticed? They help remind staff that they are part of a team and demonstrate to visitors that the business values their brand and wants to promote it.

Employee Incentives
Moving on from but closely related to in-house gifts are the gifts that you give your employees for a job well done. Everyone likes to be appreciated. Giving your employees gifts such as useful desktop gifts or logo embroidered jackets helps motivate and keep morale high.

I can still remember my first job out of university. We were offered logo branded gifts for practically everything. If we passed a test in the company training manual we received a pen or cap. If we met our sales targets, we might receive an embroidered windbreaker or desktop gifts such as a calculator or clock.

Receiving these gifts was important to all the employees. We competed to see how many freebies we could win just for doing our job. The fact was, each of these ‘freebies’ was helping to build the brand both at work and everywhere we took it!

Customer Gifts

It is so important to keep in touch with your customers. During the year you might like to send low cost logo printed gifts such as rulers, plastic pens, mouse mats and mugs. Each of these gifts are useful and needed around the office. Gifts that are useful get used and promote your brand better.

At Christmas time you may wish to present your best customers with top quality executive gifts. Gifts such as silver engraved clocks and digital photo frames branded with your logo get used often and they have tremendous staying power. Such gifts could be used for years promoting your brand all along the way.

What is your favourite promotional gift? If I didn’t write about it here, perhaps you might like to share by leaving a comment. I could write about it in my next article and offer you advice on how to get the best value for your money.

Promotional Mouse Mats and Other Favourites

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010
Promotional Mouse Mats and Gifts

CompuGift is the UK's leading online supplier of promotional desktop gifts

Have you been trying to get your logo in front of your customers? Advertising can be timely and expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Promotional gifts are a great option to help you achieve this goal.

What do you think about using promotional mouse mats to promote your brand? Most people have a computer nowadays, either in their home or at the office. What better way to help you get the word out about your business, especially if the items used for promotion are bright, attractive and free to your customers.

Most people like to receive a gift, right? Additionally, people like to have a mouse pad for their PC as well. The next question you might have is, “How will you distribute the mouse pads?” There are a variety of ways that you can give away presents that have your logo displayed on them.

Custom imprinted pens, mugs, clothing, fleeces, tea cups and mouse mats can be given away at business parties and conferences, at trade shows or online, through public networks. Some individuals offer free products to people with the company logo on it so that people will follow their social media pages. This concept works well for any idea that you are trying to promote.

When you use promotional gifts for marketing, it works very well and is a cost-effective solution to spreading the word about a company’s products and/or services. There are large selections of promotional items one can choose from.

When you are deciding which products to use with your marketing goals, you will want to think about what the majority of the world generally uses and takes with them everywhere. Promotional pens are very popular too. Everywhere you go or look, you either see a pen or someone is looking for one.

Some very popular items used in advertising a company’s logo are tea cups, coffee mugs, clothing, mouse mats or other business and personal gifts similar to these kinds.

A promotional mouse mat is an ideal item to put your logo on and get it in front of your customers. It is small, which means it will not cost as much to ship to you, and mouse pads are a favourite among many people.

It is a good idea to order bulk amounts of marketing presents. If you order small amounts of them, you will end up spending more money in the long run, and you will probably find out that you will need to order more sooner than you think.

Outstanding Promotional Merchandise for Business

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Promotional pens

The Promotional Spectrum pen is a UK best seller.

Business cards are so last century. About the only thing a business card is good for these days is dropping one in the drawing at the local pub. That way, at least it might net you a free lunch. Your colleagues are more likely to look to their cell phones if they need your phone number or address, and your customers are likely to lose it fairly quickly. Even if it doesn’t get lost, it’ll probably just end up in some dark corner of a wallet, where it will be out of sight and out of mind.

It’s often better to put your brand, logo or contact information on some sort of promotional gift. This gives you the opportunity to design a cutting-edge logo and create a new look for your business. While a small promotional gift might not have room for much more than a name and phone number, products such as promotional mouse mats and pen pots offer lots of room for an exciting new design. Even if your own employees are the only people who ever use these product it’s still a great idea. It builds your brand from within so that your logo and details are always in eye view.

If your name is on something that your clients find useful, they’ll see it much more often. Send a set of promotional mouse mats to an office full of cubicles and computers – the users of those computers will see your company every time they sit down.

Another great idea is promotional pens. Every office has hundreds of them, and people stash pens away in their homes, their cars, and even their pockets. They’re versatile, too. You can go with something fancy like promotional Parker pens for your most valuable clients, or you can buy large quantities of low cost promotional plastic pens and hand them out everywhere them. Don’t cut corners on price too much, though, and end up with promotional pens that don’t work well. If your potential client is faced with the frustration of a useless pen, he may very well associate your business with the pen maker’s shoddy workmanship.

Go beyond the office – the kitchen also offers some ideas for business gifts. A mug or a set of promotional tea cups may not always replace an antique tea set or a client’s favourite insulated cup, but they’ll still it regularly especially if it is printed or engraved with a unique and eye-catching design. Remember, a business gift doesn’t even have to be used all the time. Every time a potential client sees your logo, that gift has done its job once again.

Promoting Your Business in the Offices of your Competitors

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010
promotional clocks

CompuGift is the UK's leading online supplier of promotional plastic clocks!

Promotional items are fun to have on display inside of the buildings that belong to the competition. This recent trend in advertising is happening everywhere, and often right in front of intelligent corporate executives who do not understand what is going on. Ads often work through repetitious viewings of a logo or product-line name. Businesses that have their logos on display to individuals daily are remembered as popular.

How To Display Your Logo At Their Place:

Right now, almost everybody who is reading this article can see an advertisement on the top of their desks for a computer company. Perhaps there are also ads for speaker companies, soda pop companies, pen manufacturers, notepaper suppliers, or even an advertisement that is being sponsored by your competition attached to a promotional paperclip holder, a promotional pen cup or a promotional disposable camera.

Whenever a company can display their important logo or product-line names on a desktop item that is sitting in a busy office location, that small logo is seen by hundreds of people throughout the lifespan of the product. As your computer manufacturer knows, product logos do not need to be big to be very effective forms of advertising. For the cost of printing, all types of products can act like small billboards for a company.

CompuGift Promotional Gifts specialises in products that can be printed or embroidered with corporate logos, product branding, or organization slogans. All sizes of businesses can afford to participate in this type of advertising campaign. Budget-friendly desktop clocks, promotional mouse mats or even brightly coloured advertising pens can all be on display very easily all over town.

Advertising items and branded company gifts are often distributed to the public at trade shows, through community events, or in conjunction with tourist-oriented establishments. As the public receives these goods, the merchandise starts to enter into office buildings and school locations where other people can encounter the advertising logos. To target a specific office location with logo goods, simply hand them out nearby to that location.

All consumers enjoy receiving a free promotional gift from a company that comes to them without any strings attached. These logo printed desktop presents will be shown to friends and this starts the people-friendly image that your company is trying to promote. Whenever a logo or store name is seen daily and remembered in a friendly manner, this will result in an increased level of popularity within the targeted distribution area.

CompuGift Helps You Promote Your Business with Promotional Gifts

Saturday, July 17th, 2010
Promotional stress balls

Just one of the hundreds of trade priced stress balls available at CompuGift

One of the toughest aspects of owning or running a business, as many will attest, is in the marketing. It can be a long and expensive process, sometimes not even yielding the preferred results in the end. Thankfully, there are low cost, inexpensive promotional gifts that you can use to get the word out. There are many items that could feature your logo out there, such as promotional keyrings and promotional pens. But what would work the best?

1. Promotional pens are the most popular, inexpensive gifts in the UK. It is a proven fact that people adore free stuff and will get their hands on it even if they don’t plan to use it. When you make available logo printed pens, the potential customer will be able to carry information about your business with them wherever they go. If they aren’t carried around, they will at least be kept close by, perhaps in an office or home. Pens are used daily and your logo and details will be seen whenever you pens are used.

2. Invest in promotional mugs and your name could be the first thing that people see in the morning as they enjoy a steamy cup of coffee. And it is not just limited to the caffeinated beverage; other drinks, along with liquid foods such as soup, would also suffice.

3. If you have ever felt stressed out, you will know how important it is to have some way to work off steam. How about promotional stress balls? These promotional stress relievers, like the pens, can be carried around and used whenever they are needed. Additionally, your logo will constantly find itself exposed to both the person using it and anyone not too far away. There are hundreds of different shapes to choose from to represent businesses in any industry.

4. Consider printed mouse mats. In this day and age, society spends a great amount of time at their computers, and occasionally need to get new printed mouse mats when the old one becomes worn. Why not make this an option? They will be grateful that they have something padded to put their mouse and hand on, and the constant exposure will cause them to think of you when they next require your services.

5. Finally, promotional coasters would be a wonderful way to spread the word about your place of business. After all, they are small and lightweight, practical and not intruding on the style of anyone’s home. There are a lot of creative designs that you can dream up to make them feel like a welcome addition to any home. Of course you will want to use them in your establishment as well.

All of the popular inexpensive promotional gift ideas mentioned in this article can be viewed and purchased online at compugift.co.uk. We ship worldwide.
