Fun in the Sun
We are now in the heat of the summer and there’s no better place to be than the beach, particularly the prettiest beaches in Florida. Since I have the pleasure of living in Fort Walton Beach / Destin, Florida area, I spend a lot of time outdoors and at the beach. Outdoor beach activities are not only fun, but also provide exercise for us. Here are some excellent products that your business can giveaway with your promotional logo imprint on them. Promotional frisbees are a classic beach toy that both kids and adult love. Why not let others throw around your logo and advertise your company to hundreds of people. Promotional water bottles are also not only a great beach item, but a necessity to have in the summer heat. It’s easy to lose a lot of fluids while you are swimming in the ocean and not even realize it since you are staying cool in the water. So, if you really want to be smart with buying your promotional give aways, look into buying beach promotional items that will provide hours and hours of entertainment while marketing your company at the same time. Keep on marketing. I’m off to enjoy the beautiful beaches in Fort Walton Beach!
Marketing Your Business in 2010 with Promotional Products
Marketing in 2010 will be much different than in past years. At the height of a recession with some small (really small) signs of economic turnaround, all buyers will be very cautious. Buyers are looking for sales and coupons more than ever now. Buyers are also looking for FREE gifts that are offered with their purchases. Giving away free marketing gifts is a great way to drive in more sales, and I don’t mean giving away a cheap koozie or some other type of inexpensive giveaway. You should giveaway items of value such as promotional tote bags, custom calendars with your personalized coupons for each month, or maybe even a nice promotional mug. The possibilities are endless; however, you just want to make sure and giveaway something of value or something of perceived value. The more useful the item, the more perceived value the particular item will have. Promotional giveaways have been used successfully for years and there is no better time than right now to use them to increase sales for your business.
Top Promotional Products for Marketing in January
Well, Christmas will soon be here and gone and we will be into a new year. It’s hard to believe that in a few short weeks it will be 2010. I remember counting down the seconds to the new millennium like it was yesterday. It’s time now to get a marketing plan for January. Many businesses don’t think about marketing gifts for the various seasons, but only promotional gifts relating to their own business. This type of thinking significantly limits you when there are thousands of great and useful promotional items out there. Here are a few historical best sellers that are both useful and effective for promoting your business in January.
Promotional Ice Scrapers- A promotional ice scraper is one of the promos that will tend to hang around from winter to winter, especially if you are located in the Northern parts of the U.S. You can choose from mini ice scrapers, standard inexpensive ice scrapers, or the more premium ice scraper with a mitt to keep your hand warm. Whatever your budget, there are many different price points and styles to choose from. Ice scrapers are durable items that will last for years and keep on marketing for your company. As I’ve stated before, buying useful items such as these will maximize your investment in promotional items and have them work for your by keeping your business name fresh in the minds of your customers.
Promotional Hand Sanitizer- With all of the colds and viruses going around in the winter, as well as H1N1 virus, promotional hand sanitizers with your personalized logo imprint make great winter give aways. Show your clients that you care about their health while at the same time benefiting from these great marketing gifts. Choose from standard small bottles of antibacterial hand sanitizer to larger bottles and specialty bottles with carabiners attached. You can’t always wash your hands when you need too, but you can sanitizer your hands as long as you have these bottles available.
Personalized Lip Balm- Personalized chapstick is a perfect winter giveaway. Lips tend to get more chapped in the cold months, so why not give away a marketing item to help combat that. Your customers will certainly appreciate it. Keep your clients with health lips so they can spread the good news about your company to everyone they meet.
