These can be critical for photography businesses, especially smaller ones.

Efficiency in processes and procedures can lead to greater output, higher sales and increased income. This is something that all businesses strive to achieve. Using a branded promotional USB stick for delivering photographic proofs or final images is an extremely efficient method. The images are all stored in one place and delivered at the same time.

A branded promotional item such as a USB stick makes an ideal ‘carrot’ to hook a new customer. Smart photography businesses use them as a gift for booking a photo shoot. USB sticks are valued by all computer users due to their size, high storage capacity and the fact that they are portable.

The use of the promotional USB stick branded with the photography company’s details not only ensures that it is effective advertising, it also promotes an environmentally friendly message to clients.

Spread the Word With Promotional Items

May 19th, 2013 | Comments Off | Posted in Marketing, Promotional Products, Public Relations

Promotional Items Raise Awareness About Important Issues and Spread the Word

 

Using promotional items to raise awareness around important issues and causes that your business supports can help to spread the word and increase commitment. Many companies have important issues that they feel are important to support. These may be charities that require fundraising or important issues such as health or safety concerns.

While the charity or concern will be a part of a long-term plan, companies very often have a time of central focus such as a day or week. This is to ensure that the topic is put in front of all employees and is highly promoted. Oftentimes this will involve additional promotion on the website, in store as well as in the press.

Many companies will kick-start such an important campaign by spreading the news and associated messages through handing out newsletters, leaflets and gifts. The gifts will be chosen from promotional items that have been imprinted with information about both the cause and the company.

By ensuring that the cause is imprinted on the item, recognition of the charity or concern will occur each time the item is seen or used. Featuring the company logo at a minimum will provide a focus for gratitude in the recipient. By providing a useful gift the recipient will feel a sense of gratitude and this is valuable in terms of the employee/employer relationship.

An example of a suitable message for inclusion on the item is, ‘XYZ Co supports cancer research.’

Promotional Items that are eminently suitable for this type of use are water bottles, pens, mugs, coasters and USB sticks. These are all very useful to the recipient and highly visual items through their usage.

Once your cause has been announced, consider holding a day annually where you promote the cause and ensure it is a center of focus for all staff as well as a hot topic for discussion. The day could involve speakers, booths and games. The speakers can ensure that the central message of your charity or cause is put across to all staff. Having booths from the charity or cause as well as a company one increases the opportunity to spread the word as well as to brand your company as caring.

Fliers, fridge magnets, notepads and pens handed out at the booths will also provide another way to promote the message and increase your brand awareness. Ensure that the press have been contacted to help the spread word further afield.

If your good cause has a safety focus then you could consider the following promotional items: a carabiner key holder or a tire gauge. Another useful safety item that has a decent imprint area is an ice scraper.

If your company is amongst the many that decide to support a charity or good cause then promotional items can help. By choosing wisely you can use them to promote the cause and raise brand awareness at the same time.

Promotional Pens Increase Revenue by Locking in Loyalty

Many companies use promotional pens as they are relatively low cost items, easily distributed and useful to recipients. Most businesses find that the promotional pen is a useful means of gaining loyalty in their customer base, thereby increasing revenue in the future.

So how can a promotional pen become a customer loyalty and revenue-inducing magnet?

Promotional pen variety is one key way to achieve loyalty. Through the use of pens in different colors and styles, customers will actually be happy to keep receiving pens as gifts.

The branding businesses place on company promotional pens is crucial. Ensure that the company name and logo, as well as contact details, are on the pen. The recipient is often not the only person to use or see the pen. Reminding the user of the company each time they use it is powerful advertising for the company.

Provide promotional pens as gifts to potential customers, as well as current ones. Of course different pens and varieties can be used for each type of customer.

Using something as simple and essential as a promotional pen is an effective strategy for advertising the company. The fact that a pen is an essential item used by people every day ensures that each time the pen is used they are exposed to the brand. The fact that the pen was given as a gift, either for considering becoming a customer or, for being a customer, will induce feelings of reciprocity. It will be more likely that they will think of the company when looking for that particular service.

Providing a gift to customers shows them that their business is appreciated and valued. While generally not of high monetary value in and of itself, a pen is a valuable item in terms of its use. By providing such a thoughtful and useful tool the recipient is given the sense that they are of value to the company. Their feelings of goodwill will encourage them to continue to do business with the company, thereby increasing revenue.
