FollowWhile some believe that you should cut back on marketing during slow economic times, savvy business people see this an opportunity.
Your job as a promotional products professional is to show your clients the benefits and cost-effectiveness of promoting their businesses, no matter what the economy. And what better way then through the use of a targeted, effective promotional product.
What’s the best way to show the effectiveness of promotional products? Practice what you preach and self-promote!
Self-promotions will get you more business and your clients will enjoy receiving gifts from you. Self-promotions open doors and get your clients thinking. They also keep your name in front of your best prospects.
Personally, I have received great results with food gifts, photo frames, comfortable grip pens and sticky notes. It ‘s always nice to see my company name on a client’s desk. Better yet, many a self-promotion has turned into an order because the client liked it so much.
Brad Shuman of Pro Specialties in San Diego, a participant in a workshop I gave at the ASI Show, sent me a thought-provoking article with great self-promotion ideas. If you’re looking for fresh, creative ideas, click here to read the article.
