Why buy merchandise?
Reasons to use promotional merchandise:
1. Moving billboards - Clothing is so visible and versatile for staff or team uniforms, golf and sports days and event merchandise.
2. For You - A Gift with Purchase strategy is an effective way to increase sales and profile for your brand and creates an incentive for buyers to purchase immediately.
3. Grab Attention - Great packaging adds a "wow" factor to your products by using a branded box, printed ribbon with a themed gift to make a memorable impact.
4. It's In The Mail- A promotional item included with a direct mail piece creates curiosity and ensures your mail is opened. Select a useful promotional item to suit and appeal to your recipients and links with your message.
5. Fundraising- charities use promotional products very successfully to raise funds and awareness of a cause. Promotional products are also ideal for schools and sports teams. They enable creativity and provide supporters with a memento to further cement the fundraising message.
6. Say ‘Thanks’ - Recognise employee achievements and show appreciation to valuable clients and supporters with a corporate gift.
7. Just Teasing- Include lightweight 'teasers' in your staff or client incentive programme. They keep motivation and interest high through the campaign and can be themed to match your travel reward destination or key message/objectives.
8. Build Brand Identity and Loyalty - longevity is one of the appeals and benefits of promotional products and enables time to build connection as promotional products that are useful to recipients are used.
9. Event Merchandise - build a following by creating 'Official Merchandise' for your band, sporting team, theatre production, cause or event.
10. Meeting Success - Conference supplies such as bags, lanyards, notepads and pens are essential elements - possibly even room gifts for an overnight stay. They also help to add funding by enabling sponsors to receive profile by branding with their logo/message.
11. Build Corporate Culture - happy employees reduce turnover and sick days and build a positive atmosphere.
12. You're A Winner - competitions always attract attention and you can use branded merchandise as your prize, themed to your industry.
13. Sports Days - Build team spirit - whether it is a company event, part of a conference to involve delegates or a local club event. Use apparel, hats, towels and sporting equipment.
14. Sales Call Gift – a product carrying your message, or a confectionery or other treat, adds a finishing and memorable touch to a meeting or sales call.
15. Trade Fairs / Exhibitions – stand out from the crowd! Make sure your company is remembered by using a promotional item to hand out to exhibition visitors.
16. Community Activities - involvement in the local community can include sponsorship and participation in local activities and celebrations. Promotional products help your involvement and exposure via handout treats, show bag inclusions, drink bottles, t shirts, balloons, stickers, confectionery and snack packs.
17. Safety First- high visibility gear reduce accidents in a work place. Branded hi-visvests and jackets are popular in factory and warehouse environments. Safety gear such as first aid kits, lights, warning signs for cars, sunscreen and shades and even apparel with reflective inclusions for cycling, can be branded.
18. Public Interest and Educational Messages -Promotional products such as badges, stickers and novelties help to raise awareness and convey important public interest and messages of education by Government, Council, Charities and other Organisations.
