How Promotional Business Items Can Increase Sales

The whole point of advertising is to increase sales and secure your position as an operating business. Promotional business items can be a huge help in this aspect, as they can be inexpensive to purchase and are useful for many occasions.

Promotional business items like ink pens and pads of paper are handed out at trade shows, conventions and meetings on a regular basis. This is not the only occasion where these items can be used, because customers want things for free as well. These items can be handed out in parking lots, sent out to mailing lists or solicited through postcards. Each of these initial encounters with a new customer is essentially a chance to sell them your business.  

Promotional business items can range from luggage tags to coffee mugs, mouse pads and tee shirts. Any items that can be given away freely and promotes your business are considered promotional business items. Whether your business is large or small, these items can help to bring in new customers and boost sales. Depending on how you use them, these promotional business items can be used as tax deductions as well as being used for bringing in new business.

Certain times of year are known for sales at most retailers including the month of August before school starts, 2 weeks prior to Christmas and New Years and the 4^th of July. These are all good marketing times to use the items to help boost business. Relying on businesses around you to have sales and your store get residual customers based on this can be helpful, but if you use promotional items you will bring in your own business. Giving away promotional items like mouse pads during August, coffee mugs before Christmas and New Years as well as giving can insulators before July will help to get your company’s name recognized. The more items you are able to give to the public, the better the chances are of new business being created. If you only give away 50 mouse pads, you can expect that maybe 12 of those customers will come into your store, based on the economic status. So if you were to give away 500 mouse pads, about 120 customers will visit your store. This will not only help for the month, but word of mouth advertising from those customers will create a minimum of 40 other new customers. For the small cost of buying 500 mouse pads, you could have 160 new customers in a month’s time.

Businesses have long used promotional business items to help increase sales in slow periods, and even more for sales and blowout information. Every time a new business opens up in a chain of stores, all the stores offer discounts and clearances in order to help bring attention to the new location. This is essentially the same type of marketing because customers are alerted to the new store, and know they will get good prices for things they already want. You are giving away small items people want in order to draw them into your store. The fact is that after seeing an object 10 times, the object and small information on it are retained in short term memory. After a month of seeing the item and information, it is stored in the long term memory. So if you were to give away your items a month before they are needed, the customers will not only have time to use the product, but are also able to remember your store name, location and logo for brand recognition.
