Eating out is probably one of the things that most people look foward to doing on a reguliar basis. This being said, Promotional Products are the perfect way to keep that last great meal in front of the satisfied diner. It can be imprinted pens or balloons, a magnet or an imprinted grocery bag …the only thing that matters is that the message is clear and the product chosen has a preceived value to the recipient.
The year is filled with plenty of opportunities for tie-in advertising no matter what product your company sells. This year Super Bowl Sunday happens in early February. It’s the perfect time to send out your company’s logo on can cozy’s to everyone you know. People are at bars, friend’s houses, or even tailgate parties to celebrate the big game.
I know I do. One of the things that has always surprised me as that the nurseries do not make better use of the chances they have to display their unique custom imprint. They could use it on custom imprinted promotional products such as ballpoint pens, pads, rulers or ball caps. When I plant each spring I always vow to write down what new or different plants I put in the ground so I will know what to repeat the following year but somehow I never seem to have either a pad or pen available to do the job … why not give me one with the nursery’s custom imprint on these very handy Promotional products so that I will see their name and be constantly reminded of their high quality stock. You ask why a ball cap … it’s a great way to keep your custom imprint in constant view and to protect your clients when they are working in the sun. The custom imprinted ruler is also a great advertising specialty that the gardener always needs each spring to insure that the plants are being placed the correct distance apart. So you see the average gardener is a great candidate for using a nurseries custom imprinted promotional product.
I was at the grocery store today and I saw that they had rows and rows of ice chests for sale. After first getting over the fact that it is already March, I realized that this was a smart move. As it gets closer to Spring and of course, Summer, ice chests become a great item to sell. People going on picnics at the beach, seeing a concert at the local Bowl, or camping with their friends and families need to invest in an ice chest of some sort. Why not use it as a marketing tool? You can get your clients insulated bags with your imprint on it. That way they are spreading the word about your company and it’s generous and practical methods of advertising.

- 11″ Jewel color latex balloon with 2 color imprint
I took my daughters to get their haircut at a great kid’s salon we frequent and my 17 month old saw a balloon. I asked if she could get a purple balloon to hold, knowing that if I didn’t she would have a huge meltdown. She was delighted looking at the balloon. My older child was just as excited to get her balloon as her sister had been. Something so simple, gave them so much joy. Of course, that’s when I realized that the balloons were blank. Here is the perfect opportunity to publicize the company and have its phone number and address all over the valley and they are missing out. My kids want to carry their balloons all over once they get them. That helium filled bubble can be the highlight of their trip to the shoe store, the grocery store, or the hair salon. Why not use the empty canvas as a place to advertise your business and get free publicity from a child enjoying her balloon.
