Promotional materials give your business a boost!

PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS GIVE YOUR BUSINESS A BOOST! _ PEL HUGHES print marketing new orleans

In today’s growing sea of brands and promotional messages, it’s easier than ever for your name to get lost in the crowd. With so many brands for consumers to choose from, it doesn’t really seem to matter if your product or service is the best of the best – if they can’t remember which one you are, your quality is irrelevant. 

So, are you looking for a way to break through the noise?  

Take a look in your laptop bag, work desk, purse, or home office. There’s a good chance you have and use a number of promotional products. From branded coffee mugs to pens and mouse pads, 80% of consumers own promotional products. Of this 80%, over 50% use a promotional product each week. The statistics on promotional products get more compelling. Of those who have promotional products, about 85% of them did business with the brand after receiving a promotional item. Studies show that promotional products increase favorable impressions of brands, which helps convert potential consumers into loyal customers.  

Choosing the Right Promotional Products 

Promotional materials that are actually useful might just be an option worth pursuing. 

So how should you choose what kind of item to give

 In a 2011 article written by the New York Times, you should follow three main rules: 

  • Give an item that your audience will use in the environment where they decide whether or not to use your product or service – put your name in front of them where they’re make their decisions 
  • Differentiate your message – make it clever, make it unique 
  • Personalize the message. People love to see their own names.
