Promotional Products On The Rise In UK

An interesting story from MarketingWeek shows that promotional products sales are jumping in the United Kingdom. With London being one of the bigger cities in the world, and certainly one on the forward edge of technology, I find it quite fascinating that businesses are returning to effective methods of advertising such as with promotional products. One of the great things about this form of advertising is that one can do it on a minimal budget. So even in times of recession such as the present situation, a business can still find highly effective and concentrated advertising in these little giveaway novelty items that we love so much!

There is a reason why this industry is an $18 Billion industry. These are products that entice customers to return to businesses and that will bring new customers through your doors. I make sure that my sales reps all know the importance of advertising with promotional products and how to convey that to their clients. For the clientele I handle personally, it is a major selling point. These products are highly visible when used, they can be conversation starters, topic changers, and points of interest. They are designed to get your customer talking about YOU!

Imagine this... You are a pizza shop owner. For a neat giveaway, you decide to hand out pizza cutters with your logo on them to customers that are regulars. Your dedicated customer has a birthday party for one of their kids. They order pizza from you, because they love your pizza. They bring the pie home and use YOUR pizza cutter to separate the pizza, make smaller slices, etc. Your logo will now be in the hands of multiple people. You could have earned 2-3-10 customers in that one $3 giveaway. Even if you were to gain 1 customer out of that $3 investment, you will make back that investment and a whole lot more on the very first order.

No other form of advertising can say that for you.
