Why Budget for Promo?
Whether you have a large or small marketing budget, every penny counts. Unlike television, radio, newspaper and social media advertisements, using promotional products reflects a brand’s deep understanding of who its audience is, and what their wants, needs and values are. According to the Advertising Specialty Institute, consumers are 2.5x more likely to have a positive opinion of promotional products than internet advertising. Buying custom promo ensures that your budget isn’t wasted on advertisements that are ignored or simply aren’t remembered at all.
Stock and Save on Low-Budget Items
When you look ahead, you can figure out what your brand needs and buy it in advance to maximize your savings. For example, if your brand regularly needs writing instruments, purchasing a bulk of branded pens featuring your contact information can be a cost-effective way to gain positive brand exposure.
How to Budget for Custom Merchandise
When shopping for promo, it’s important to prioritize affordability, quality and functionality. If your brand only purchases promo based on its price, recipients will associate the cheap materials with your organization. Worst case scenario, the recipients will throw the items away leaving your brand with a bad impression and a wasted budget.
However, the good news is that you don’t need to buy the most expensive items to impress you target audience! Thinking ahead about what your target audience needs and wants will help your brand find cost-effective solutions that leave a positive impression.
Check out some of our favorite high-quality low-budget custom items that are ideal for almost any gifting scenario.
