Brands promote themselves to survive in the market. They have been using the conventional advertisement mediums since time immemorial. It includes the print, radio and television modes. But today, we can observe a gradual shift in the use of promotional channels by brands worldwide. The new name is ‘business gifts’, which, however, was also prevalent since decades. Actually their immense potential could be identified in the true measure only recently. For the traditional advertisement forms are quickly nearing their saturation level and competition increasing many fold. In such a scenario, the business gifts have shown to efficiently combat these drawbacks. They have proved to be effective tools of promoting the business of a brand as a whole, rather than serve as mere conduits of brand exposure.
Now, let us draw a comparative study to understand in details the advantages of business gifts over the conventional advertisement -
Cost efficiency:
Cost stands to be one of the biggest factors involved in brand advertisement. The promotional products are very economical in nature. This makes them fit within even tight budget limits. Therefore, small scale set ups with weak financial standing can also procure them. To the contrary, print space and airtime is highly expensive. Even a small insertion in them is hundred times more costly than buying a single piece of promotional item. Hence, they are not affordable by every organisation.
Audience reach:
The promotional gifts are distributed in various corporate occasions and advertising campaigns. Here, it is made sure that each one present receives these merchandises. Thus, there is an assurance that the brand message at least reaches the audience targeted. But this is not the case with advertisements made in print publications, radio and television channels. The brand information is let out to audiences at large. It is only hoped that the interested audiences would grasp the message. Hence, there is surety that the brand hits the intended audiences.
Impact created:
The corporate gifts indeed create a better brand impact as compared to media advertisements. This is because they are tangible in nature and, therefore, can maintain a constant presence with the audience. Each time they are put to use the branding imprints on them come in visual contact with the user. Also when kept idle the branding elements can inadvertently get into the audience notice. On such repeated exposure a firm brand positioning takes place in the audience mind.
But the print advertisement is gone with the flip of a page. While the tele and radio ad is no more with the press of a remote button. Thus, their transitory nature fails to produce any indelible brand impression in the audiences.
So, now you can judge how the business gifts are more beneficial than the conventional advertisements.
