Promotional T-Shirts For Your Campaign - 5 Tips For Success

2010-02-27T04:51:00.000-08:00

Highly visible, mobile and cost effective, printed T-Shirts can be ideal for use in a promotional campaign. Here are 5 tips to help you get it right.
When you have a message to deliver or a brand to promote, you need a promotional item that can provide the maximum exposure, for the longest time and at the lowest price. Every year a new range of promotional goods come to market but it has to be said that for high impact promotions, printed T-Shirts still take some beating.
Here are 5 tips for success:
1. Allow plenty of time to source your printed Tees - don't leave arrangements until the week before the event, as the chances are something will go wrong and you will have missed a valuable opportunity. The old adage is true: If you fail to plan, then plan to fail.
If the printing is fairly straight forward, then a supplier may be able to turn your job around quickly or offer an express service but don't bank on this, as there may be 50 other clients in the queue before you.
For a new promotional project or campaign, try to allow at least a month (if not two) before the deadline - final production may only take a matter of days but allowing time will help you to choose a suitable T-Shirt, discuss branding, receive the mockup/sample and approve it in good time.
2. Choose a good quality garment at a reasonable price - this is far more cost effective than simply buying a cheap T-Shirt, as a good quality printed Tee will last longer and provide increased exposure for your brand!
People are naturally inclined to wear garments they like on a more regular basis, which means continued advertising and therefore a greater return on your investment.
3. Choose a style of T-Shirt that's in keeping with your promotion and in a size or range of sizes that suit your target audience. There are lots of promotional T-Shirts available: Solid colour, ones with short, three quarter or long sleeves, in plain or contrast colour; in Cotton, Organic Cotton or even the latest sports fabrics, like 'moisture wicking' Polyester.
I know it sounds obvious but if your promotion is aimed at fashionable cosmetics for young women, then go for a ladies fitted T-shirt in a fashionable colour and choose sizes that will flatter - don't adopt a one-size-fits-all approach.
4. Determine the minimum quantity of printed Tees that you might require for the promotion and then add 10 to 20% (depending on quantity). In most cases it's better to have a few more garments available than to run out of T-Shirts part way through an event or campaign and if you've made the right decisions with your chosen product then having a few more people advertising your brand can only be a good thing.
Obtain quotes from two or three different suppliers and ask for a price for the next quantity break as well, as it may be more cost effective to buy a larger quantity (such as 500 rather than 400).
5. Ask each supplier for advice and make sure you provide them with a full brief of what you are looking for, what you want to achieve, any special packing/delivery requirements and the deadline for delivery. Send them the logo/logos that are to be printed in both 'eps' and 'jpg' file formats, with details of size/position and any Pantone colours that you require matching.
Select the supplier that not only offers you competitive prices but that you can also feel confident in.
So there you have it, a few simple tips that should help you select the right T-Shirt and ensure the success of your promotional campaign!

Stress Balls - Stress and Its Relief Measures

2010-02-27T04:46:00.000-08:00

Unlike half a century ago, lifestyles have changed drastically. For those who were born in the 1950s and 1960s and lived in that era can always sit back and recollect the simple and relaxed life from the good old days. Life was never complicated and was always smooth and easy. Just to recall some comparisons with the modern day:
Contacting family/friends and business transactions were easily done without Mobile Telephones
News around the world did reach the people without Satellite Televisions, Internet or E-mails
Work in offices ran smoothly without computer networks
Employees now work with targets; they are asked to achieve targets which are far beyond their capability. Rise is position and perks depend on how well you perform under pressure and in meeting targets
And this list for stress related problems can go on...
Technology has advanced tremendously; this can be considered positive. However, a majority of today's population is finding difficult to cope with this fast developing technology. This has given rise to stress and stress related problems. When stress occurs regularly in a person it can cause harm to the body. Therefore over the past decades many devices have been introduced to give relief to situations such as these. Stress Balls are the most recent invention in the stress relievers group. Do these balls really help?
The causes of Stress:
Stress comes upon a person whenever he/she faces a hostile environment. This person reacts to the environment with a certain amount of aggression. This causes an increase in the blood levels of the two key hormones - adrenaline and cortisol which are the hormones of the stress system. This will result in:
Increase in heart rate
Increase in blood pressure
Anxiety
Sleeplessness
Memory Disturbances
Concentration Disturbances
Mood swings including anger outbursts
Loss of appetite
Today, many busy people use Stress Balls as an 'on the go' relief from stress. Research is yet to prove that these objects are stress relievers; however, they are very popular and commonly used.
Stress Relief using these new inventions:
They take away the attention for the sources of stress. The mind stabilizes and there is relaxation of both mind and body
The mental energy that is piled up inside due to stress is let out and there is subsequent relaxation of mind
It helps with an improvement in the blood circulation and helps in providing more nutrients like oxygen and glucose and eliminates the toxins like carbon dioxide and lactate
It helps by stimulating the nerves in the hands. These nerves carry the signals to different areas in the brain especially the limbic area which is linked with emotions. This is similar to the Chinese method of "Acu-pressure", which is used to treat health problems. Stimulation of the brain also results in the production of endorphins which act as natural pain reliever and as sedatives.
Stress Balls are popularly used at work places. Common symptoms of stress in a workplace are shouting at subordinates or colleagues, throwing things around etc. These are uncalled for situations which can be overcome with the use of stress relieving devices.

Getting That Flyer Printing Done Correctly

2010-02-27T04:44:00.000-08:00

A flyer can be a great way to get the word out about anything you need others to know. Having flyer printing done needs to be something that will be done right. If you get a company that does not know what they are doing, well you will be paying for something that may look horrible.
Flyers is the first impression, Meaning if it looks bad, they are not going to think you know what you are doing. It will actually drive people away if the flyer doesn't look enticing.
So when you head out to look for someone to print a flyer for you, make sure you see their previous work. Keep in mind what kind of paper do you use for these flyers? Cheap paper can result in terrible looking flyers, I recommend something more sturdy, 100 lbs Gloss text.
The paper you choose can be fairly inexpensive, there are very professional services that will help you out choosing one. Providing you with choices will be the most important thing to the process though.
Choose a place that uses at a minimum of five different choices of stock paper. This will allow you to go from a lower budget, up to something a bit higher. You may not want to purchase something that is too flashy.
Work with a professional that share great ideas for you, allowing them to produce something that they know will bring in more business. Ask them questions and also see the past work that they have produced.
If you like what you see in the past work, hire them, get your flyers done, and make some money.

What's in a Custom Exhibit Strategy?

2010-02-27T04:38:00.000-08:00

Background. This client came to us because they had decided to exhibit at a new trade show event and therefore requested a new custom exhibit design and event strategy that would help drive increased brand awareness and capture the attention of the architectural community. The goal of participating in this event was to clearly articulate the company's message as the number one supplier of all glass.
The Solution. After conducting some research on the target market and some of the competitors in this space - "Where glass becomes architecture. We turn ordinary glass into extraordinary buildings" became the new high powered message used in both the custom exhibit strategy and the event strategy. For the custom exhibit, we decided to use a more artistic display featuring bright eye-catching visuals and imagery which would appeal to this audiences taste and would entice them to see what this client had to offer. A light show was added to the booth that highlighted glass used in commercial building contracts. A dynamic exhibit that clearly articulates messages and captivates interest certainly was effective at increasing overall brand awareness. However, the client needed to take additional steps to secure quality leads. As an incentive to draw attendees to the booth, an event strategy was implemented and it was recommended that the client offer a drawing to win a new Tablet PC. To enter the drawing the attendee needed to complete a survey card which asked a few key questions designed to qualify the prospect. The client obtained 255 leads from the top 1000 architectural firms, which was far above their pre-show objective of 50 firms.
The Results. The results of this integrated program were phenomenal. The booth traffic was enormous and was predominantly due to the exhibit itself, graphics, and the draw or a giveaway. The client obtained 255 leads which was a 325% improvement from their last show. These leads were entered into a database and contacted by sales representatives and literature was sent out as a follow-up measure. The client stated that based on the survey card results, the exhibit itself attracted 21% of the target audience.
What was learned. It is extremely important to conduct an analysis of your target market at each show you attend. Every market has different pain points and issues that will attract them to your exhibit - you just need to determine what they are - and create them within your booth space. They say if you build it they will come, I do not agree.
But if you build it with market intelligence your chances of a qualified lead coming into your exhibit space is greatly enhanced. Try it. You will like it.
