T-Jag thinks Post-It Notes are very useful!
We talk a lot here about promotional products — after all, they are a large part of your business. But aside from the various ways these products can be used, there are some key ways to make sure you are using them to your best advantage. Here are some tips we’ve picked up from years of experience:
1. Make It Useful
If it’s not useful, it will — at best — be thrown away. And in some cases, people won’t even bother to pick up the item. I’ve seen similar advice on wedding blogs, advising against wasting money on favors that guests won’t keep. Wedding favors are, after all, glorified promotional products, and the same rules apply. People have to want what you’re giving away — which means it’s either a delicious food item, or something insanely practical or useful.
Sometimes this means going with standard items, like pens and Post-It notes — but guaranteed, people will use these items. That custom-shaped stress ball?

Maybe not so much. We’re always happy to brainstorm with you for a more unique item that people will want to take with them. (Like, say, an ice scraper as the favor for a winter wedding at a ski lodge!)
2. Make It Pretty
The coolest promotional product in the world won’t get far if it has an ugly design slapped on it. We’ve said the same thing about logo’d apparel, and it applies to promotional products as well: make sure whatever item you choose has an imprint that is visually appealing.
Not sure how to make your item pop with your logo? We’re happy to work with you to develop creative solutions.
3. Make It Work
T-Jag loves how well this pen writes!
A whole bunch of free pens are worthless if they don’t write. While we understand that price is key, quality should always be taken into consideration when you plan to use an item to promote your business. You don’t want a potential client associating your company with a pen that doesn’t work, right? We will work with you to find quality products for the right price; our years of experience working with various manufacturers allows us to go to the best, most reliable sources first. That saves you time and money.
