So you are stuck with ideas for promotional items? When it comes to choosing the right branded promotional items to give to clients it can sometimes become problematic, especially if you have never had to make such a decision before. Taking some time to think about the promotional gift you want to give to your loyal clients can make a difference between a successful campaign and an unsuccessful one. Promotional items are always going to be a great option for those who want to make an impact on their business. But some promotional gifts are able to make more of a meaningful impression than others because they have a few meaningful factors that make them stand out. Memorable gifts are usually going to be those that are kept for a long time. The longer a gift is kept the longer it has an influence. So having some background information about what makes a promotional item great can benefit your company.
Without further ado, here are the 5 factors that make certain promotional items awesome!
-
They are absolutely unique
Anything that is designed to be memorable is going to be unique. Like most things in life, it has to be different in order to stand out. The more unique the gift is the more effective the branding is going to be. If you want your promotional item to stand out among the hundreds of other promotional gifts that a person might receive, then you have to make sure that the promotional item is unique. Now is the perfect time to think out of the box and be creative.
-
Make sure to place your branding
If you don’t have branded corporate gifts then you have certainly wasted your time and your money. The one thing that is going to link the gift to your company after you have given it is the branding that you have placed on it. Each time a person sees your branding they are going to remember who you are and this might encourage them to support you.
-
Don’t give a cheap looking gift
You want your customers to want to proudly use the gift. Why? Because when people are proud to use the product no matter where they are, more people are going to be seeing the product and the branding. If your product looks tacky or cheaply made, then those who receive it are unlikely to use it outside of the comforts of their homes. Tacky or cheap gifts are not likely to be creative so you are going to have to be unique to make that impact.
-
Pick something that is going to be long lasting
Research has proven that those gifts that last long are more successful than those gifts that last a few weeks and are then thrown away. Perishable gifts are a great choice when you want to make an instant impact, but should you want to make a lasting impression, give a long lasting gift.
-
Give an interactive gift
Imagine a corporate gift that you can build yourself. Sometimes, when those who receive a gift have to assemble it themselves or have to do something to it, such as opening and drinking that wine, the gift can make a bigger impact.
