Promotional Folders

The Promotional Folders seem to be popular at the moment - there are plenty of people searching for them and making enquiries.

I did mention the folders in this blog back in January.

There's a huge range - from the cheap folders from £3.85 each to the real high quality leather folders from almost £30 each!

Whatever your needs and budget, there should be something there for you.

Low Minimum Order Promotional Gifts

As spring approaches, many people are looking for promotional gifts that they can supply in low minimim order quantities.

Well, I may have siad it before, but printed logo golf balls are ideal! They can easily be produced in batches of 2 dozen or less and with a wide range of brands to choose from, they can go from cheap to epensive at will!

Want to really impress - then choose a top name brand. Want to save costs, then ask what the cheapest brand currently in stock is. There's a wide variety, and if work loads allow, they can be turned around and out to you pretty sharpish.

Give them a look - before your competitors beat you to it!

Give Your New Customers A Treat

I've recently appreciated the importance of keeping your customers sweet. It took me 4 years, but I eventually realised that if you keep communicating with them and making sure they are happy, when they need your services you are at the front of their mind. If you let them trot on without ever speaking to you, then they are likely to look elsewhere for a fresh mind next time.

So to this end, I've also starting sending gifts to my customers. Next Christmas I'll probably send existing customers cards with a present, but I've also started sending new customers small gifts. Recently, for a particularly patient customer, I arranged for a couple of dozen logo golf balls to be printed with her logo and website URL on them.

It didn't cost much to pack these into a jiffy bag with her invoice, and the cheque was received back virtually by return of post! And she emailed be to say how much she liked the logo golf balls. Best of all, now when she's playing every time she loses a ball, she's leaving an advert out on the course!

Try it yourself - send customers some balls and get some printed for yourself!

Keyrings for Insurance

Have you ever noticed a mascot of a certain insurance company sitting in the back of cars? I was with them once - a couple of years ago and they offered to sell me one. But I didn't see why I should pay them to advertise them. Had they sent me a free one...

So if you are offering car or Motorcycle Insurance UK, why not think what you can offer your customers? Even something as basic as a keyring can be enough to remind them of you and try to persuade them back. Include your renewals number along with your claims hotline and it becomes really important to them. What better than carrying the contact details on the vehicle's key - if you are in an accident then you know where to find your details!

Promotional Items For Conferences

I looked a few weeks ago at promotional folders, and these, along with pens, are really good, useful promotional tools when you are using Conference Venues UK.

When you are arranging a conference, don't forget to supply your delegates with folders, paper and pens. These can all be printed with your logo so that the delegates remember you in the future.

Use your great ideas

Every had a great business idea? Want to share it with other people? When if you are an EntrepreneurNow sort of person then you need to get yourself, your business and your ideas known - and usually pretty quick.

So have a good think about what sort of interests your customers, or investors, might have and chose a suitable gift. Is there a small number of them? Then invest in a more expensive gift, like a Promotional Fountain Pen that will impress them?

Are there loads to tell? Go for something cheap that you can distribute in bulk, such as the fantastic Promotional Adloop Keyring.

Just make sure that you order it now and get it distributed - ideas don't do any good sitting there in your mind!

Promotional Snow Ideas

It's winter, February half term is just around the corner and the Easter holidays will follow quickly. So time to look at ideas for companies arranging Snowboarding Holidays.

What do you know about your customers? Well, for a start, if they are snowboarders, then the liklihood is that they are going snowboarding and will be using ski lifts.

If they are using ski lifts, where are they putting their ski lift pass - how about your Promotional Ski Pass Holders?

They are very cost effective - these neat little devices start at only 44p each, printed with your logo or contact details.

Give them a go - they are certainly cheap enough to give out to all your passing customers!

Expanding Your Horizons

Anyone can benefit from a bit of careful thinking and a few imagineative promotional ideas. Take for example those involved in the House Cleaning trade.

Especially if some or all of your customers don't come to you on a regular basis, then you need to ensure that you are on their mind when they might need your services. So go for something imaginative - think of something that might amuse your customers, or immediately they see it bring you to their mind.

One popular keyring is the Promotional House Keyring. Let the shape of the keyring remind me that you care for their house. They could associate the shape and feel of the quality keyring with your services maintaining their home. It's a quality item - let them associate that with a quality service!
