When you’re trying to encourage business and increase brand awareness, the key is to make advertisements that people will actually want to use. Pens are the bread and butter of corporate promotional gifts, but they won’t do all of your work for you. It’s true that they are a great way to get your free promotional gift right into someone’s hands, but they are also a great promotional gift item for every other company. Think about your own house. You probably have dozens of cheap pens lying around that you got from various companies. Pens are great for building name recognition, but you also might want to have some unique promotional gifts for special occasions.
Gift items like promo clothing, calendars, logo key chains, and free office supplies are popular choices. Do tailor your free gift promotions to your market. If you are selling a product targeted to children or families, then gift stickers or free rubber balls with your company’s logo will probably go over well. If you’re marketing to office workers, then desk gifts like promo mugs or calendar gifts are the most likely to be used. Promotional product gifts like T-Shirts and other clothing work best if your business is something people will want to publicly show support for, like a band or a non-profit.
Humor is your most powerful tool for getting people to use your business promotional gifts. Again, don’t forget to consider your business goals. If your business involves framing pictures, consider getting a mug with a space for a mug shot, and the words, “I was framed!” If you are selling shoes, a good idea is a printed shoehorn with the words, “You can horn in on our savings!” People groan at puns, but when they’re puns on free marketing gifts, people often actually use them just for the fun of it.
Another tool is style, especially if you are considering giving out gift bags or other clothing. Instead of printing a plain tote with a corporate logo, you could print one with an attractive graphic arts design, or for your bag gift you could make a small, stylish bag in a bright modern color. Think about what corporate promotional items you would use, and don’t be afraid to try something new. After all, when it comes to promo gifts, variety is the spice of life.
