Three Proven Ideas You Can Steal
Americans eat approximately 100 acres of pizza each day, or 350 slices per second. This idea is all about delivery. (pun intended) Want an unforgettable introduction, send your lead a pizza cutter with your logo on it, a letter saying how you anticipate your clients need and you are a slice above the rest. The day the cutter is scheduled to arrive, send your client an UNCUT pizza from a local pizza place, now they have to use your pizza cutter! This not only satisfies your customer's hunger, but it is a fun way to show value. As stated by the British Promotional Merchandise Association, a promotional gift delivers it's full impact when the recipient finds it useful.
Long Time Listener
From our Global Ad Impressions Study, 69% of consumers own promotional headwear and keep it on average for 10 months. With that many impressions gained over 10 months at a low cost, headphones are the way to go. Send clients headphones with creative messaging ensuring them you are here to listen to their needs and provide solutions. Not only are you supplying them with a must-have product, but also staying top of mind, or head in this case.
Sticker Madness
Have a super small target audience? Make some branded merch that targets your clientele. That is what we developed here “Kaizen is my Cardio” campaign sticker for Value Added 616. We created a sticker only the perfect client would love and give them away free! Everyone wins, they get a fun sticker and you get the email to someone you know is going to love talking about your shared interest.
It's great receiving free stuff, but what is the value behind it? It comes in the form of strategy. Building a campaign behind something as simple as a fun sticker cuts through the digital noise and allows you a chance to connect in a more meaningful way. With the right campaign behind them, branded products are a cost-effective, creative, and easy way for you to gain high customer recognition and increase your brand's visibility all around the world.
