How you can use promotional merchandise

/in , /by

Promotional merchandise isn’t just for customers—it can have a big impact on your business from the inside out. By using branded items smartly, you can make your team feel appreciated and get your brand noticed at events.

1. Giving Your Team Branded Merchandise

Handing out branded merchandise to your staff is a simple way to show them you care. Whether it’s clothing, office gear, or cool gadgets with your logo, these items can help create a sense of pride and unity among your team. When employees wear or use your branded products, it strengthens their connection to the company and helps build a cohesive team spirit.

2. Making Employees Feel Valued with Something Special

Now, imagine going beyond the usual swag and surprising your team with something that really wows them. High-quality tech accessories, stylish custom apparel, or even branded travel kits for top performers can make a big impact. These special items show your team that you truly value their hard work, turning recognition into something they’ll remember. When employees feel this level of appreciation, they’re more likely to stay loyal and be advocates for your brand.

3. Getting Your Brand Seen at Events

Promotional merchandise is also a powerful way to get your brand noticed at events. Whether it’s a trade show, a conference, or a company event, branded giveaways can make a lasting impression on everyone who attends. Things like tote bags, water bottles, or USB drives are always popular, but to really stand out, consider offering something unique or limited-edition. These types of items can create excitement and keep your brand in people’s minds long after the event is over.

Conclusion

Promotional merchandise is a great tool for any business. It can make your team feel appreciated and connected, while also helping you market your brand at events. By adding a wow factor with high-quality or unique items, you can turn simple giveaways into powerful tools that leave a lasting impression both inside your company and out in the world.

Boost Your Brand with Promotional Merchandise

Promotional merchandise is an underrated yet highly effective marketing strategy. Here are some key benefits:

Low Cost-Effective Marketing

Promotional items are affordable and can be produced in bulk, offering a high return on investment. Distribute them at events or as giveaways to reach a wider audience without hefty costs.

Instant Brand Recognition

Branded items serve as constant visual reminders. Each use reinforces your brand, making it more memorable to customers.

Greater Exposure

Promotional merchandise acts as a walking billboard. When customers use your branded items in public, your brand gets organic exposure, attracting new potential customers.

Encourages Repeat Business

People appreciate free, useful items. Offering promotional merchandise fosters goodwill, encouraging customers to return and enhancing loyalty. This personal touch makes customers feel valued, increasing the likelihood of repeat business.

Acts as a Business Card

Branded items like USB drives or notebooks can include your contact details. Unlike traditional business cards, these practical items are kept and used regularly, keeping your brand top of mind.

Enhances Brand Perception

High-quality promotional merchandise can enhance the perception of your brand. By providing well-made, useful items, you demonstrate your company’s commitment to quality, which can positively influence how your brand is viewed by customers.

Conclusion

Promotional merchandise offers cost-effective marketing, increased brand recognition, greater exposure, enhanced customer loyalty, and improved brand perception. Incorporate it into your strategy and watch your brand grow.

Artwork Tips

/in , , , /by

When ordering promotional merchandise providing the studio with correctly formatted artwork is crucial for a hassle free process. This also ensures that your items will turn out just the way you want them and have no hiccups along the way.

Provide High Quality Artwork

You will need to supply high resolution and vectored based artwork. This will ensure that the final product is clear and reduces the risk of pixelation during printing as you would encounter this with low res artwork. It is also important to include any specific colour codes including CMYK HEX Codes as well as Pantones.

Specify Brand Guidelines

If you have a brand guidelines document, it would be great to send this across to our artwork department so they can get a better idea of how your brand looks and feels. Include information on preferred colours, fonts, and any specific design elements that must be consistent across all branded products. Consistency is key for brand recognition, so make sure the merchandise aligns seamlessly with your overall brand identity.

Consider Product Variations

Be flexible with your artwork to accommodate various product sizes, shapes, and materials. Different promotional items have different printing requirements as well as techniques and amount of colours. Ensure your artwork is adaptable, and if necessary, create variations for different products while maintaining a cohesive brand look. If a preferred product does not have the right printing requirements to suit your artwork there will be another technique or similar product that will be better suited and that is why we are here to help and guide you.

Verify Print and Production Methods

Understand the printing and production methods used. Different materials and products may require specific printing techniques (e.g., screen printing, embroidery, or digital printing).
Work closely with the supplier to choose the most suitable method for your artwork. Verify proofs and prototypes before mass production to ensure the final product meets your expectations.

Plan for Budget and Lead Times

It is good to clearly communicate your budget and timeline expectations, as well as understand the costs associated with different printing methods, materials, and quantities. Planning well in advance allows for adjustments and ensures that the promotional items are ready when needed. Factor in shipping and distribution timelines if the branded products are part of a larger marketing or promotional campaign.

What is a Digital transfer?

/in , , /by

Digital Transfer is one of the most popular methods for full colour logos and designs that result in photographic quality.

We first digitally print CMYK onto a large paper roll. Next we print a white layer on the areas covered by the colours. Then glue is added to allow adhesion onto the item.

The last step of the process is applying the transfer image or logo onto the item by using pressure, time and heat.

Advantages

  • Photo quality
  • Extremely detailed
  • Full colour + white
  • Bright colours

Make a cuppa, sit back and watch this video to show all the advantages of digital transfers! www.promisepromo.com | 01442 270 329
