Promotional Gifts Are An Effective Way To Get Repeat Customers

By Lyndon Zema


Promotional gifts can serve as important advertising tool for any business. Studies have shown that customers are more likely to do business with a company after receiving such an item, than if they had viewed an advertisement, so clearly it does make an impact and is therefore a worthwhile expenditure.

In general, a higher return on a company's investment can be observed from providing clientele with promo items, than with any other marketing tactic. In one consumer survey, it was determined that over half of those questioned had admitted to doing business with companies that had given them a promotional gift in the past. While it can yield considerable business, another benefit of this approach is that it also costs less than media campaigns.

There are a wide range of items companies can choose from to promote their business. Some of these are more useful and than others, so it's important to select those which are somewhat original and ideally they will tie in with the specific nature of the business.

It's not the best idea for a company to only choose the least expensive giveaway items since these are generally of lesser value in terms of how useful they are and are therefore more likely to simply be discarded, which would defeat their purpose in the first place. The smartest approach is to select products which are both handy, relevant to what the company sells, and which are somehow tied in with their ad campaign in general.

Some of the most popular choices in promo products include pens, cups, hats, and t-shirts. If a company is looking to build brand loyalty, it can be effective to select items such as binders or calculators with the company name and logo. When trying to establish a name for one's company in the marketplace, it's best to give out a unique and memorable item that is different from the rest.

These items can be further classified into "common" and "specialized" categories. The former are those which are kept on-hand in the office to present to customers at the end of a meeting. Whereas the latter are normally reserved for handing out at such events as trade shows or to a specific niche of customers.

The cost of purchasing promotional gifts depends mainly on which items the company chooses. It's important to secure a good relationship with a reputable supplier, who will usually offer companies some reasonable rates when they are buying in large quantities in particular. Some merchants will also offer discounts for businesses who have purchased from them repeatedly.
