How To Give A Corporate Gift

I'm often asked what type of corporate gift items to give to valued customers. There are thousands of gift items to choose from. It is best to find out what your customer likes. How do you do that? I'm sure you have been to their office for business meetings, but you probably never even noticed that you can find out a lot about a person when you visit their work environment.

The next time you meet them at their office, take a look around and check out what you see, this will give you and idea of the things they like. You will find they may have other gift items that have been given to them. Some they display proudly for all to see, take notice of this. Find out if they have any hobbies. Do they belong to any charities or clubs? Do they have a favorite sport they play?

Some items to think about giving are:

* Pen Sets
* Desk Sets
* Leather Portfolios
* Sports Items
* Clocks

When giving a corporate gift item to a valued customer, keep in mind the item is more about good well than it is about promoting your business. Also remember that this customer has been doing business with you for some time, so don't go inexpensive when choosing a gift item. Let the customer know how much you appreciate them.

Should you imprint a gift item with your logo? The answer to that is no. This a gift, it should not be imprinted as a promotional item. Your client will tell others where they got the item from when asked. How many business folks do you know that refuse to share the name of a person or company that gave them a special gift? Find a company that has the best quality corporate gift items. Like I said, you don't want to go cheap on this one.

Giving your valued customer a gift is one of the best things you can do, next to excellent customer service.

How To Choose A Tradeshow Banner Or Display

I received a call the other day requesting information about trade show banners and displays. The caller wanted to know what was the best type to order. Simple question, rather difficult to answer. So, I decided to write a post regarding the conversation I had with the caller.

There are many different types of trade show banners and displays being manufactured. Most folks think of simple vinyl banners, but they can be much more elaborate. For example there are: pop-up displays, panel displays, tabletop displays, banner display stands, backwall displays and electronic displays.

Banners and displays also are made with different types of materials. Such as: vinyl, plastic, steel, plexiglas, and cloth, etc. They can be made to hang in front of a table or backwall. A display can be hung from the ceiling and lowered over a booth. The entire booth can be a display made with wall panels. There are digital panel displays that can be programed to feature different information about your company products and services.

So as you can see, there are many options when ordering a trade show banner or display. It is best to determine what will work for your particular business. Keep in mind how much you want to spend as well. Some trade show displays and banners can cost you thousands of dollars. Choosing a banner or display often is determined by how many trade shows your company actually attends throughout each year.

If your business attends trade shows on a regular basis, then you may want to step it up a bit and move away from just the simple one color vinyl banner hanging in front of your booth table. Studies have shown the more elaborate and colorful your booth is determines how much traffic you will receive. Trade show attendees walk in the door and see hundreds of businesses wanting to sell their products or services, think about how can you set your company apart from the masses.

Once you have determined how often you are going to use your banner or display. Figure out how much you want to pay and what type of display or banner you want to purchase. Do the research. Check out several companies that manufacture these trade show items. Find out how long it will take for your order to be completed. You don't want to miss any up coming trade shows while you are waiting. Find out the exact price for the cost of shipping. Depending on what type of display or banner you order, there may be several boxes, your shipping cost may end up being higher than you might think.

Having a trade show display or banner is your introduction to future customers. Your thoughts are making a sale, their thoughts are what type of company am I about thinking doing business with. They base this on what your booth looks like, and how you present yourself. Make your first impression a memorable one.

Good Luck In 2011!

Adding Promotional Products To Your Marketing Mix

The new year is right around the corner. Have you chosen your supply of promotional product items yet?

Marketing with promotional products is a valuable way to promote your product or service. When you have your company logo or message imprinted on a promotional item, you have created a free advertising tool that your customers and potential customers will use and display all year long and beyond.

Using promotional products as part of your marketing mix exposes your product or service to thousands of potential customers that you may not have had the opportunity to reach before.

Below are tips to remember when ordering promotional items:

A. When ordering items, choose products that are in good taste and not too cheap.
B. Always choose items that will be useful such as, a pen, notepads, can opener, calendar, etc.
C. When you order T-shirts, make sure to select a variety of sizes, S, M, L, XL, etc.
D. Order in large quantities, you don't want to take a chance on running out of an item before the year has ended.
