Wow Your Audience and Create a Lasting Impact with Promotional Products

Positive, lasting impressions are the best marketing tool. When your customers experience your exceptional service or enjoy your beautiful creations, well-designed products or delicious food, it motivates them to return to your business and tell others about you.

Another way to create positive impressions and, thereby, increase your business and rev up your revenues, is by giving people thoughtful promotional products. These can be any item personalized with your company name or logo that allows you to connect with your audience in a meaningful and memorable way over a long period of time.

Surveys show that:

  • 90% of people who receive a promotional product can recall the name of the brand.
  • 85% of people who received a promotional product did business with that company. (Source: PROmotion Marketing, LLC)

Fryed Egg can help you:

  • define your audience
  • discover what would be helpful for them
  • design your message
  • procure the branded items
  • and determine the most exciting way to deliver the items to wow the recipient

Who is your audience?

Understanding who your audience is and what would be meaningful for them is the first and most important step in the process. Recently, while working with a client whose audience is working women, we suggested meaningful items for them that included an umbrella for the car, a Tide pen for the purse and a sealed, insulated mug. The key is to give something they will use all the time, something they enjoy and find helpful or extra special. It’s all about keeping your brand in front of them to enhance your company’s name recognition and build your relationship with the recipients.

Your audience includes your clients, for sure, but also your partners, prospects, vendors, volunteers and employees. What will you give them? What will be meaningful to them?

Eco-friendly products

Eco-friendly products, like reusable straws and items made of bamboo or burlap, are of great interest right now as companies are focused more and more on sustainability of the planet in their purchases.

Hottest Trend for 2021

One of the hottest trending items for 2021 is a condiment holder that hooks into a vehicle air vent, finally allowing people who eat in their cars to dip fries into ketchup or nuggets into sauces!

And how will you present these items? The Fryed Egg team thinks beyond the usefulness of the gift to making the packaging and delivery just as memorable. We put the extra effort into the process to make the entire experience extremely impressive including the initial impression and the unwrapping process.

Another Option: The Company Store

Successful companies, especially those with many employees and multiple locations, often set up a company store. They keep branded clothing, protective gear and work-related and non-work-related swag, such as jackets, ball caps, shirts and umbrellas, available for employees to buy at the great prices they sourced. These products, within your brand standards, may even be things you want or require your people to use, such as safety items.

Whatever your business, you want your people to be easily identified and recognized in the field so your customers and clients feel comfortable with them. So why not build brand equity while doing that? It’s a winning combination!

Industry Spotlight: Construction

For example, construction companies need to be OSHA compliant, so they often stock branded reflective vests, hard hats, protective glasses, gloves, hats and safety cones. You need to use certain safety items anyway, so why not have them speak for you, all day every day? The standardized branding ensures that everyone who sees it is reminded of your brand and remembers to choose you the next time they need the services or products you offer.

Your company store can be centralized, coded, automated and even organized on a hierarchy based on your company’s classifications by job title, making it easy and turnkey for your employees. Your salespeople can pull down approved items before making sales calls, and you rest assured, knowing that whatever they choose has been approved by you—and you have controlled your costs, too.
