How Do Logo Products Offer Free Marketing?

How Do Logo Products Offer Free Marketing?

Logo products, also known as branded products, have been a popular choice for businesses to increase their brand visibility and recognition. These products offer a cost-effective way to promote your brand and reach out to a larger audience. 

Let’s say, for example, you own a small coffee shop in a busy downtown area. You decide to create branded coffee mugs with your shop’s logo on them and sell them in-store as a retail item. You also offer them as a free gift with purchases for customers who spend over a certain amount.

One of your customers, John, buys a mug and starts using it at work every day. His coworkers notice the mug and ask him where he got it. John tells them about your coffee shop and recommends they check it out.

A few days later, two of John’s coworkers come into your shop to try it out for themselves. They see the branded mugs on display and decide to purchase one each. They then take them back to their office and use them every day.

This cycle repeats itself with more and more of John’s coworkers and soon enough, your coffee shop has become a popular spot for their entire office. All because of a simple branded coffee mug that provided free marketing every time it was used in public.

Today, we will explore how logo products can offer free marketing and how they can be used as a powerful tool for branded product marketing.

What are logo products?

First things first, let’s define what we mean by logo products. These are any items that are customized with your brand’s logo or message. Think t-shirts, hats, pens, tote bags, water bottles, and the like. They can be made from a wide range of materials and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.

How do logo products offer free marketing?

Okay, now you know what logo products are, but how do they offer free marketing? Well, each time someone uses or wears your logo product, they become a walking billboard for your brand. This means that your message is being seen by potentially hundreds or even thousands of people, depending on how often and where the product is used.

For example, if someone wears a t-shirt with your logo to a crowded event, everyone they come into contact with will see your brand. This is a great way to increase brand visibility and recognition without spending a lot of money on traditional advertising.

Using logo products for giveaways and contests

Another way to use logo products for free marketing is to offer them as a giveaway or prize in a social media contest. This is a great way to engage with potential customers and spread awareness about your brand.

For example, you could run a Facebook or Instagram contest where people have to follow your page, tag a friend, and share the post to be entered to win a branded water bottle or tote bag. This not only promotes your brand to the contestants but also to all of their followers who see the post.

Offering logo products as a gift with purchase

Logo products can also be used as a gift with purchase. Offering a branded product as a gift with purchase not only incentivizes customers to make a purchase but also leaves them with a tangible item that reminds them of your brand.

For example, if you sell skincare products, you could offer a branded tote bag as a gift with purchase for orders over a certain amount. This encourages customers to make a larger purchase and provides them with a useful item that they will continue to use long after they’ve used up the skincare products.

Using logo products as gifts for customers and employees

Finally, logo products are a great way to show appreciation to existing customers and employees. Giving them a branded product as a gift creates a positive impression of your brand and also encourages loyalty and repeat business.

For example, you could give your top customers a branded water bottle as a thank-you for their business. This shows them you appreciate their support and encourages clients to continue working with you and your business.

The importance of branded product marketing

Branded product marketing is a powerful tool that can help businesses increase brand recognition and customer loyalty. Logo products are essential to branded product marketing as they are a tangible representation of your brand that people can see and touch.

When creating logo products for your brand, it is important to consider the design and message you want to convey. The design should be simple, memorable, and aligned with your brand identity. The message should be clear and concise, and ideally, it should reflect your brand’s values and mission.

Logo products can also be used to promote specific products or services. For example, if your business is launching a new product, you could purchase logo products that showcase the product’s unique features or benefits.

From the Runway, to Your Promotional Products… Spring Fashion Report

For some, fashion is a hobby. For others, a sport. Twice a year, in February and September, fashion lovers of all income brackets, styles, and ages unite to take in something I like to equate to “The Superbowls of Fashion,” New York Fashion Weeks. Men glued to their tvs screaming as their favorite football team fights for yardage does not begin to compare to the intensity with which many women follow the coverage of Spring and Fall Fashion Weeks. We live vicariously through bloggers and press coverage, keeping a mental, or for some fashionistas who are even more obsessed with couture than I am, a physical, checklist of all the trends we want to incorporate into our seasonal wardrobes.

Spring/Summer trends were defined at 2009’s Fall Fashion Week (confusing, I know), and I have already spotted some of the key trends permeating the dreary Winter attire demanded by Atlanta’s current climate. It isn’t too late to design custom apparel items for clients and employees that will put them at the pinnacle (pun intended!) of fashion in their professional and personal lives this Spring.

Neutral tones: One of my current favorite promotional products is Leed’s Laminated Non-Woven Large Shopper Tote, which can be found in our Tradeshow Bags & Totes category. This eco-friendly carrying bag is offered with a grass stock background, keeping it in line with the neutral theme that dominated Spring runway shows. A former roommate’s 7 year old sister once asked her why everything in my closet was “dirt-colored,” so clearly I was far ahead of the times with this trend!

Preppy stripes: Many people are not wasting any time at all interspersing chunky stripes and nautical accessories into their Winter wardrobes, and this craze is expected to grow exponentially as temperatures heat up. Our playful Large Striped Canvas Tote is one item to help your female constituents capitalize on the nautical theme, and even men can get onboard (again, pun intended- that one was just way too easy!) with polo shirts featuring subtle stripes.

Nylon anoraks and color blocking: A quick search for the term “color block” on our website turns up hundreds of results, from color block drinkware to tote bags. Appropriately, some of the search results were nylon color block jackets for men, women, and youth from popular promotional apparel brand Port Authority®. I don’t think I could have found a better example of either of these trends than these particular lightweight jackets- perfect for crisp, clear Spring mornings, Port Authority® takes nylon outerwear from functional to fashionable with ease in these statement pieces.

And that wraps up my summary of Spring trends; I can’t wait to summarize next week’s events for you, as I’m sure I will have plenty of ideas about how Pinnacle Promotions can help you bring Fall 2010 trends from the runway to YOUR way with unique promotional products.
