7 ways to keep your business moving forward!

Here are 7 tips on how to keep your business moving and shaking and most importantly growing with promotional products!

1. Make your business card work for you long after you leave, by putting your info on a pen. You company message will be used and seen for many each and every day. Pens are an inexpensive and effective way to get your name out there.

2. Be Generous! Remember to give two of everything, one for your customer and one for them to give to a friend. Magnets or calenders work great for this, because they are both useful and inexpensive.

3. Thank your customers. Give them a gift that they can use everyday that is nice. A keychain or nice ballpoint pen in a nice gift box works great for this. Its a great way to say Thank you for doing business with us and we cannot wait to work with you again!

4. Remind customers to reorder. Place a calculator at near the bottom of their box of items so as they are running out, they will find a calculator with your contact info on it and they will remember to reorder, because they can use the calcultor to figure out how much stuff they need to reorder. Also keep track of how often they need new products. If you know a company goes through 500 pens in 3 months, then contact them after 2 months and start reminding them to reorder so they are never out of promotional products.

5. Prompt Action. Offer a coupon for a discount, and put an expiration date on it. People want to use coupons before they expire.

6. Create traffic. Offer a free gift with purchase. If you have a store, put a sign in the window.

7. Increase company awareness with wearable products. Hats, T shirts, and jackets are walking billboards. Wear your logo at the next lunch or networking event that you attend. Not only are you branding your self, but you are showing your customers what you do. You can make walking billboards for your customers as well. Also it shows loyalty in your company and product, you are proud of what you do.
