Tips In Making Unique Promotional Gifts

By Brian Phillips


Promotional gifts are used by companies in promoting themselves and the products or services they have. These will help in communicating what your brand stands for and makes it more memorable for them. These are usually given during events, trade shows or even at sidewalks to market it to the people.

Common items being given with this particular purpose are pens, mugs and tote bags with the name of your brand written on them. Although there are those who are handing out unique promotional gifts to stand out from the rest and give a long lasting impression. Here are some advices in crafting them for your company which you may give out next time.

Craft something that would not fit inside envelopes but is much at home inside packages and boxes. This could build anticipation in opening them for these people and they will be excited and want to open it as soon as possible. There will be a surprising element for the opening process because they have no idea what they will receive.

To make the item stick in their memory better, have them do something to it upon receipt. One of the examples of these is made by a company for dental hygiene where the ice cream they gave away were place on a stick that is shaped the same as a toothbrush to remind them to always brush their teeth after the food is eaten. These items inclining actions to be taken by the receiver is better.

Make it relevant to your business so they can connect the items to what your products or services really are. These could be things that tells a story related to your company which has an additional meaning to it. It would also show the benefits they get when they patronize your business.

Avoid having it look generic or cheap even though it is necessary that the production of these items are not expensive. Be creative in having them look classy in order to leave a good impression to them. And there are people that are prohibited from accepting expensive gifts due to the nature of the work they have.

Do not forget to include your brand logo in the items to remind them on who they came from. This must be placed in a prominent area but make sure that it does not destroy the aesthetic of the object. Making your logo as big as the object will make it very visible to the people but it will give them an idea that you are pushing your name too hard.

Select an item that can last, not the same as flowers which withers away or food that must be eaten right away. This will be a reminder for them even years have passed since you gave the present to them. It would be great if you could craft something they can display proudly inside their house or they can use sometimes.

Make sure they will be able to feel the effort you have put in crafting these things. Having a unique concept where it was never done before or only few ones did is a great way to leave an impact to customers. This is also a fun thing to do for your team where their creativity is exercised.
