While promotional pens do most of the work by themselves, there are several ways in which you can ensure that you get the max marketing out of your promotional product efforts. These tips will not only guide you to getting the most out of your pens, but also how to best track the results from your promotional pen efforts.
As with any other advertising effort, you will want to pick your target audience first. Not all promotions work well with all markets, so you will need to do some research prior to plunging into the promotional pen world. While just getting them out there can certainly help with promotional efforts, you will see a better return on investment with little tidbits of information like average age, income, and type of employment. The research doesn't have to be extensive, it just has to be enough to decide between a ballpoint pen or an executive pen.
Once you have finished with your market research, it's time to deploy a strategy to track the effectiveness of your promotional pens. This is harder than tracking other types of advertising, although you can always simply ask the customer where they found you at. Many either won't remember, or won't feel like answering that question, however. As a backup method, there are a few things you can do in your contact information that will help you to filter the promotional pen traffic in a trackable fashion.
The first is to include either a special website, or a special phone extension that they can use in order to get in touch with you. Any contact through those particular avenues will let you know that your promotional pens are working the way they are supposed to. The second is to include some sort of special offer – if there's one thing people love more than freebies, it's coupons, so combining the two will induce a consumer Nirvana in a few.
By keeping track of your promotional pen campaign in this way, you will get important and valued information as to the effectiveness of your marketing efforts. This will allow you to fine tune future promotional product efforts, whether you stick with pens or you go into other types of promotional product advertising.
It is typically best to start out with a lower end and lower run promotional pen marketing effort. You will want to have plenty of leeway to experiment and try out various things to increase the business that comes through. You'll always want to remember the absolute best advantage of promotional pens as you work on making the most effective campaign that you can – you can carry them anywhere you go. That opens up the amount of places you can drum up new business in to near infinity, especially since you never know who you might run into while you're out. Best of all, there will almost always been a good reason for all of the people that get your pens to keep them on hand, to replace lost pens or because it becomes one of their favorites.
