Are smaller promotional items more practical?

What are some benefits of using smaller promotional items to help market my business?

There are multiple benefits of using smaller promotional items to help market your business. First, they are smaller and obviously more amenable to a number of distribution channels that larger promotional items aren’t. Additionally, the smaller nature of the items implies you can store more of them at a time, and the fact that you can store more of the items at a time means:

a) you are maximising your inventory storage efficiency, and

b) you can give more products to more customers at your choosing.

How can smaller promo items be better for distribution?

The small nature of promo items inherently makes them better for distribution due to:

a) the lower costs of shipping and generally transporting smaller items, and

b) the increased availability of potential distribution channels to increase the availability of unique distribution methods.

The last thing you want to do is minimise the ways you can deliver these promotional products. Smaller products provide the most options for getting your promo items to the people that really matter, the customers!

When choosing smaller promotional items for marketing purposes, does that automatically imply a lower cost overall?

While smaller items may always seem like the cheaper item, sometimes they are not. More polished or expensive promotional items, including fancy watches and pens, can be very costly on your budget if you are not careful. While smaller promotional products automatically obtain an immediate size advantage in shipping costs, the smaller size of the items and their packages can lead to more promotional items being lost or damaged iin the transportation process. These factors can sometimes increase the implied cost per unit.

Are there any downsides to using smaller promotional items for marketing distribution?

Generally speaking, smaller promotional products allow you to distribute them to more people, and they provide a more significant marketing advantage. However, there are certain situations that emphasise the need for big and bold. Smaller promotional items won’t be much of a benefit there. For example, some corporate events can be greatly benefited by large, very visible promotional banners. Sometimes this marketing effect can be just as effective, if not more effective than the distribution of hundreds of smaller promotional items.

I’m hosting an event, and I’ve decided to distribute smaller promotional gifts to guests. What are some interesting ways to accomplish this?

First, you can give small gift bags to each of your patrons as a sign of appreciation for their attendance. These gift bags can contain a few different types of promotional items that show the logo of your company, and they spread your company’s name to people that will digest it more thoroughly. Additionally, smaller promotional gifts can be given away in raffles, and the more expensive or more valuable smaller gifts can be given as “main prizes.” Finally, if you are hosting the event to obtain any sort of customer buy in or orders for your business’ products or services, guarantee the delivery of a promotional gift for each person that buys your product or service.
