How to use <strong>promotional</strong> <strong>products</strong> to get a better ROI on your marketing dollar<br />

The success of field marketing involving <strong>promotional</strong> <strong>products</strong> depends largely on the items chosen, as<br />

wrong selection of <strong>promotional</strong> items can destroy the brand name instead of creating it. Now, there <strong>are</strong> two<br />

phenomenal mistakes marketers perform while arranging campaign and distributing <strong>products</strong>. First<br />

distributing <strong>promotional</strong> items, which hardly reflect any relation with the brand, and second distributing<br />

infertile <strong>promotional</strong> <strong>products</strong>, which <strong>are</strong> having no practical use.<br />

Knowing what product to pick for your marketing requires that you know the<br />

demography to determine the preference of your primary audience. At the<br />

trade show, if you hand out <strong>promotional</strong> items, which <strong>are</strong> having no contact<br />

details or a call to action hint, then definitely the <strong>promotional</strong> product comes<br />

with no value. Giving away cheapest <strong>promotional</strong> items will largely affect<br />

your brand name making people think negatively about it. Don’t confuse<br />

“cheap” with “inexpensive”. There <strong>are</strong> many inexpensive <strong>promotional</strong><br />

<strong>products</strong> you can use that reflect quality and trust. This is where the quality of<br />

your logo and the clear message you <strong>are</strong> conveying is crucial.<br />

But no matter what you choose, it should have <strong>so</strong>me practical usage. You can giveaway budget<br />

items like calendar, stickers, and caps but there your presentation should be different. The<br />

<strong>promotional</strong> items must carry your details and must not be too fragile to handle. Often, it<br />

happens that in search of too exclusive item we lose track and end in <strong>so</strong>mething utterly<br />

irrelevant. This is where an experience consultant can guide you in choosing the best<br />

<strong>promotional</strong> product for your event or marketing campaign.<br />

The <strong>promotional</strong> product you chose has to be part of your overall marketing strategy. If you give out a<br />

product with your logo and website address make sure the landing page of that website address reflects the<br />

message you <strong>are</strong> communicating on the free gift.
