Promotional Product Ideas For Your Business

By Business Editor

Like many other marketing professionals, you cannot afford to underestimate the importance of that perfect promotional product when it comes to making an impact with target markets ...

Tim Andrews from ASI specializes in the advertising specialties market and recently made a speech on the top ways to achieve marketing success. "Maintain and protect your brand all the time," he began. "Know where your business is going and know where the risks are," he added. He advised marketing specialists to keep track of personal strengths, weaknesses and failures. Many marketeers are afraid to ask for business, but many customers need a little extra coaxing, he finds. Despite who pays you, you must never forget where you came from, and always listen to and treat the clients like gold. Andrews, like many other marketing professionals, cannot overstate the importance of that perfect promotional product when it comes to making an impact with target markets.

One of the exciting and new promotional products is the "Keyboard Organizer," first unveiled at the Las Vegas ASI tradeshow in 2007, where it won "Most Innovative/Best Creative Concept." Since the unveiling, the Keyboard Organizer has won nine other awards and was projected to be the newest "tested, tried and true" marketing method. This promotional marketing tool is a fully functioning computer keyboard that also offers additional internal storage beneath the keys to organize one's computer desk top area. The new "Keyboard Organizer" is the first and only fully functional computer keyboard that opens to have internal storage to organize the computer desk top area. This custom promotional product is compatible with all MS Windows and Apple computers and can be fitted with a full colored wrap over the entire keyboard, showcasing your logo. Check out KeyboardOrganizer.com for all the details.

Want to showcase your environmental friendliness and progressive spirit? The "Babytree" promotional product items puts plants in capsules imprinted with your logo! However, they're currently only available overseas from Katshu.com, so higher shipping prices may apply. For a US company, ePromos.com allows you to order mailable seed pouches with your company logo sticker attached to show that your business is a steward of the earth. At CoolPromotionalProducts.com, you can order 15" multi-plant, corporate logo pots for your best clients, which are available in silver, gold, burgundy or black. You can also choose a living bamboo plant, a cactus, a Bonsai or a tree in a tube.

The promotional product is being used more and more as a supplementary advertising medium, in addition to print, TV or event marketing. Compared to other mediums, the use of a custom imprinted item or promo product is less invasive, more targeted and more personalized, which consumers really appreciate. They may skip over your expensive television commercial or throw out your direct mail, but they can't say "no" to that free 28-cent custom logo pen! Due to the nature of the beast, promotional products tend to be used for long periods of time, leading to voluntary repeat exposure and repeat business for you. You can reduce environmental waste by introducing an item that's reusable and cherished as you advertise. What could be better than that?
