Do You Really Need
Promotional Business Products?
That depends on how serious you are about your
business venture. Is this a hobby, or a true
business that you plan to grow, market and make
successful? If you fall under the second
category, then you might seriously consider
getting some promotional business products. They
can make the difference in acquiring and keeping
customers.
Depending on how you interact with your
customers, may determine the type of promotional
items you choose. Make sure that your
promotional business products mesh with your
marketing strategy and message, meet with your
client needs, and won�t bring down your
business. Be careful not to fall into any of
these traps when choosing.
DON�T PURCHASE THROW AWAYS
If you�re going to spend money on something, it
should be worthwhile. Make sure that your client
will use the product. Don�t sacrifice quality.
If you�re going to buy pens to give away, make
sure that they are good pens that write well. If
they aren�t, the client will throw them away and
won�t see your name every time he needs to write
down a phone number.
DON�T BLEND INTO THE CROWD
Be creative. Try to find a product that speaks
to what your company is and that your clients
will appreciate. If you think you can pull it
off, try to make your promotional items funny
without losing relevance. Nothing would be
better for business than for John to show Dave
the hilarious promotional items that you gave
him. Now Dave has been exposed to your company
and will be more likely to contact you.
DON�T BUY ARBITRARY PROMOTIONAL BUSINESS
PRODUCTS
Make your promotional business products relevant
to your company and part of your overall
marketing strategy. If you run a nature
photography website, mail key chains with one of
your nature photographs attached. Try as much to
make your promotional business products remind
customers of what you do and the quality of your
work. Don�t settle for a product with just your
name on it. Make sure the product says something
about you.
DON�T FORGET ABOUT YOUR BEST CUSTOMERS
If possible, tailor some promotional business
products to your better clients. Try to get
something a bit nicer for the people who buy
more often from you. And make sure that it is
something that this client will truly
appreciate. If your best client is a kayak tour
company, give them waterproof compasses, not
magnets. Don�t ever spend so much time and
effort trying to acquire new customers that you
forget to keep your established customers happy. |
