What Promotional Items Should

Tag it:

Question:

What promotional items should I give away at a leadership empowerment workshop this fall to promote my communication consulting company?

Answer:

Leadership empowerment...hmmmm.... that will keep you in the minds of the participants? Check this out. The coasters are a different price point. My number one pick, I just had one flown in for a client yeaterday, the balancing scale with different blocks to change in and out. The scale comes in a presentation box that adds 100% value to the item. I was more impressed with this product in person then viewing it in the catalog. It looks like a $50 item. Spend $15 a piece and make an investment that will help secure the participants and clientele you want. On the blocks are Collaboration, imagination, integrity etc one must use all these facets to be balanced in the workplace. Your company name will be laser engraved on the base. The dice are fun as well but I'd invest in the scale....

We Have A Go

Tag it:

Question:

We have a Go Abroad Fair trade show coming up in the fall. Besides giving out pens, we would like to give away something a little fancier. The only catch is, people have to bring in this coupon in order to get the gift. Our company is geared towards teaching English overseas. Do you have any suggestions on what a good free gift would be that would attract people to come get the freebie? We were thinking of giving out tote bags. Any suggestions would help. Thanks, Dena

Answer:

Totes are a good idea but the European community loves fanny paks . Take a look at these as they are all in your price range and very well made. More men wear them more then you could ever imagine. Sending out the teaser to bring in the card will produce great results! Sounds like you are doing everything right. I'd really consider one of these paks for your audience as well...

We Represent A Very

Tag it:

Question:

We represent a very large, North American institute whose members produce and manufacture packaging machinery equipment. In the very near future, we have a few member meetings, events and an international exposition - and we need promotional giveaway items. We talked about mint tins, chocolates, jump (flash drives) etc, all with their logo on it. Because your website is saturated with items and information, I would love recommendations. Can you please help?

Answer:

I just this minute updated the special we have been offering for over a year to a lower price. You really can't go wrong with a flash drive . Even has a gift box! If you want to spend a bit less and don't need 128 MB I am sure we will work with you.Thanks for asking! The Ideas Guru

I Just Submitted A

Question:

I just submitted a question...but also a lot of people recognize us by our logo. Which is a man holding a hammer...I would love for it to relate to that...

Answer:

Hi J, I looked over your website and have enclosed quite a few options. From a pocket tool with a hammer to chocolates made in the shape of tools. The fun floating duck could be tied to a contest at a tradeshow booth. The hammer mug really reinforces your branded logo and the hard hat liner and shade piece could also tie in nicely. I know they even have imprinted terry bands created specifically for a hard hat. Hammer Time!

We Need A Fresh

Tag it:

Question:

We need a fresh idea for our driect mail premiums. We send out 5k to 10k pieces at a time and offer a giveaway just for coming by our clients business. What's new and hot?

Answer:

Hello JJ, Thanks for knocking on my door. We, as a company are getting great results from a number of direct mail pieces we have sent out. One I am particularly enamored with is the luggage spotter . I am sure we could get the pricing down to an affordable, successful program at the numbers you mentioned. It has broad applications from travel, conventions, employees on the road etc. It is very light, hence great for a mailer and features a little business card size pocket that could hold some other add-on inserted promotional piece if there was a second tier to the promotion. It is available in many colors and very functional. A Navy luggage spotter with silver imprinting would brand your business quite nicely.The sleep mask has so many applications. It is now available in Silver, and for over 5000 pieces can be manufactured in Navy. Light for mailing and there are a lot of clever...."Sleep better with The Alta Group"?etc

Safehaven Line: Sleep mask perfect for hotel.
