Some business leaders question whether custom printed promotional goods are an effective way to grow their business. These questions include:
-
Do people really care about receiving promotional items? - This has been proven to be the case! Promo items have been used effectively to increase awareness among the general population since the late 1700's. People keep what is valuable and useful and they will remember it for a long time. The history of the promotional products industry illustrates that folks truly enjoy receiving a freebie during campaigns and events. Prospects are more likely to provide you their contact information, sign up for a program, make a purchase, etc. if there is a free gift received for doing so.
-
Are promotional items a good use of marketing budget? Customized promotional items are a much cheaper advertising medium than traditional print ads and billboards and they come with a much higher rate of return. Corporate giveaways provide a lower cost per impression than prime time TV commercials, magazine ads, radio commercials and newspaper ads and continue to be used over and over again by your prospective clients, unlike the others marketing methods that are often once and done.
-
Will my customers actually keep their promotional items? Absolutely! For instance, a single promotional pen will be passed around as many as 7 times before the ink runs out and it ends up in being discarded. That pen could viewed by as many as 15-20 people per day...that is thousands of potential impressions for your company's brand over the full life of the promo item. Think of how many opportunities exist with an imprinted pen that can cost as little as less than $1!
