An interesting, though often overlooked marketing technique that can be used when dealing with promotional keyrings has to do with tying them in to certain events and locations. This is not a technique that will fit every situation, or every company, however if you are looking to add promotional keyrings into your marketing campaign then you may want to consider tying them in to a tourist campaign. This can either be done with independent distribution by your company at saying a trade show and to visitors entering your headquarters, or it can be done on a much larger scale when you work in conjunction with a tourism board, or consortium.
In order to use tourism with your promotional keyring marketing campaign, you must first be a part of something that will draw tourists in. If your company has a booth at a very popular national trade show that it is likely that there will be just as many tourists as industry insiders attending. This can be a great place to pass out promotional keyrings that not only have your company's information on it, but also a remembrance of the event; either with the event slogan or perhaps the event logo. If your company is located in a major city that has a large tourist draw then you may also want to tie your promotional keyrings in with the cities tourism. For instance if your company is located in New York then you may want to have some reference to New York on your promotional keyrings.
The reason for shine in your promotional keyrings with tourism is quite simple. As important as your company may be to you, it may not be that important to other people who see your promotional keyring, as an interesting novelty that has no real value to them. However if they are visiting an interesting site on vacation they are likely having a good time and will want a remembrance of the trip. Therefore your promotional keyring will serve two purposes, one it will promote your company, and two it will serve as a remembrance of their great time on vacation.
The important thing here is that people rarely throw away their vacation memorabilia, on the other hand most people will not think twice about throwing away a promotional keyring; so tying in your promotional key chain with a tourist event or place is a fantastic way to ensure that your promotional keyring has a long shelf life.
An added bonus to using tourism to essentially promote your promotional keyring is that it will now be possible to donate these keyrings to tourism boards and organizations. These folks are always looking for extra merchandise to give away at events that promote tourism, so now rather than having to distribute all of your own promotional keyrings your company essentially has a third-party that is willing to give them away for free; and since market penetration is so important with a marketing gimmick like a promotional keyring the more distributors you have the better.
