Promotional items are a great way to draw attention to your business but sometimes the method that you use to distribute these products can really help put your business on the map in your community. Everyone knows that incredible looking, useful items with your custom logo imprinted right on them is a fast and effective way to get your business name out into the community eye. Sure you can just pass these items along to your customers when they walk in the door, or even pass them out at the local trade show. No matter how you distribute them, you know that they will serve as an excellent tool in promoting your business.
A really good advertising idea is to make a big deal out of giving away your quality promotional products. Don't hand them out quietly, do something outrageous. Ask the local high school drummers to play in front of the store. People will hear them from miles away. You could also have someone in a crazy costume giving things away. You can rent these from costume shops and some are funny. You don't want anything that will take away from your promotional shirt that the character will be wearing. An animal costume would work well. You could put your logo t-shirt on a big fuzzy bear and let him give them out.
Drawing attention to the person handing out your promotional items, is just another way to make big impact for your advertising dollar. Now you will not only be giving away stuff for free but you will be having a character in a logo t-shirt doing it for you. You will be getting triple the exposure by using advertising in this way.
When you are thinking about how you want to do your big promotion, give yourself time to think. Ask your employees if they have any ideas. They probably are brimming with them. You want to plan it out so that you will get the most out of it. From the best product that will work for you down to what company you should buy from.
It doesn't take a big advertising firm or millions of dollars to make a good promotion, it just takes a good idea and the follow through to make it happen. That is truly the key to advertising. Don't overspend on your next promotion, just plan it out and go for it. No matter how many ideas you can get from an online source, the best ideas are the homegrown ones.
Some promotional key chains have flashlights or bottle openers, which makes them awesome giveaways. If you have your furry character wearing your promotional shirt and giving these you will have some impact.
