The power of using promotional products that get you seen and remembered at events and exhibitions
Giving out a promotional product should always have a result in mind
The ideal result when giving out a promotional product is that it needs to create a memorable experience which the recipient has and remembers when he leaves you with it.
The promotional product is only part of the experience. The other part is the interaction that they have with you when the promotional product is handed to them. What you say and how you convey your message is going to be the reason that they remember you
The best way to use promotional products is to have different categories for potential customers at your event or exhibition. This means purchasing a variety of promotional products.
If you have a visitor who wants to learn more about what you and your business does, that promotional product should be completely different to another visitor who knows your company and wants to engage with you about how to help them and their business.
What should you be asking yourself before picking promotional products?
- What do I hope to achieve with the promotional product provided?
- What is my target market who I want to attract?
- What return should I expect to get on my investment?
This is extremely important as the promotional product chosen should be geared to reach your target market. Providing a promotional product that “suits all purposes” will not achieve your goal. Targeted promotional products for specific events and functions get the best results
Collecting data from recipient and Following up after the event/ exhibition to turn the promotional product into potential business
There is a very big difference between collecting names and contact numbers and creating an experience for the potential customer where he will remember the interaction when you contact them after the event / exhibition.
So many businesses exhibit at events and exhibitions and walk away with a long list of contact names and details that will lead to nothing.
The experience created by using the correct promotional product and correct interaction with the potential customer is what they will remember when you contact them after the event.
It is vital to contact them as soon after the event/ exhibition as possible. This will ensure that the memorable experience that was had will be maximised by your follow up. The follow up should carry on the experience for your potential customer, moving them closer to a potential sale. Each step of the follow up should move your potential customer closer to wanting to transact with you and your business.
