Inexpensive promotional items may be fodder for comedy club standup routines, but cheap business gifts do serve some very useful purposes for your business.
Cheap Business Gifts Increase Your Traffic at Trade Shows
One of the many uses for business gifts is to increase booth attendance at trade shows. Trade shows put your firm in competition for attention with dozens – and sometimes hundreds – of other vendors and merchants. In order to be noticed – and more importantly, remembered – you need something special and unusual to grab, and hold, attention. There are three basic types of business gifts that are used at trade shows. The least expensive of these categories is the first, which is meant to grab attention and increase traffic at your trade show booth. You can increase your visibility at trade shows by choosing business gifts that will be carried and seen by attendees at the show. Among the best choices for business gifts that increase your visibility are printed plastic sports bottles, printed balloons and printed plastic carrier bags.
Cheap Business Gifts Spread Your Name After Trade Shows
Another use for the cheapest range of business gifts at trade shows is to increase your name recognition. For that purpose, you want to choose trade show giveaways that people will take home with them and use. Since part of your aim with these business gifts is to give away as many of them as possible, you want to choose something that is low cost AND interesting enough that people want to pick them up. The most popular business gifts in this category are printed pens, printed key rings and printed stress toys.
Cheap Business Gifts as Customer Thank Yous
A little gift included with each order that you fill is a great way to bring your customers back for more orders. Whether you tuck a printed ruler into each bag at the till or enclose a packet of printed memo pads with each mail order that you ship, these little business gifts can help increase the number of customers who come back for another order. For this purpose, choose inexpensive promotional items that have some association with your business.
Cheap Business Gifts To Introduce Your Company to New Customers
An easy way to introduce your company to a new market is with a direct mail campaign that includes a free gift. Marketing research shows that potential customers are more likely to open your mail – and remember your name – if you include an inexpensive promotional item as part of your introductory direct mailing. Among the most popular choices of business gifts for this purpose are promotional sticky pads and small matchbook style “emergency kits” that fit easily into an envelope and don’t substantially increase the postage on your mail.
Cheap Business Gifts Can Bring Old Customers Back
One of the most important lessons that every successful sales person learns is that you have to maintain a relationship with your customers. Research into the reasons that customers switch their loyalties to a new supplier or products consistently turns up one answer – someone else asked for their business. If you want to hold onto your customers, it’s important to keep the lines of communication open with them. Don’t forget your existing customers in your quest to recruit new ones. Make it a practice to periodically go through customer records and single out those who have not ordered from you for three or six months for a direct mailing with an inexpensive promotional gift and a personal invitation to do business again.
