A Name That Sells

                                                                                         

Much of the drive and focus of the majority of advertising businesses do is directed at convincing consumers of the value of a single product offering. Not all of your print marketing efforts are going to be focused solely on making a sale.

Nor should they be. Sometimes the gains you make in image, brand recognition or business relationships outweigh the temporary benefit of single product sale. There are a variety of color printing options available that can help you move beyond the “right now” and build a brand identity that will help you in the long term.

Calendars - Want advertising that will work for you year round? Calendars are you answer. Every customer that hangs your calendar up in their home or office will be exposed to your company name and your message every time they check to see the day’s date or every time they flip the page over to a new month.

Not only will the calendar owner be getting your message, everyone who enters their home or office will be exposed to it. The only question is how you want to distribute your calendars. While you can print calendars and sell them for a profit, especially during the month of December. I tend to lean toward using them as give-away or promotional items to ensure that your calendars are being used by the greatest number of customers possible.

Note Pads -Whether its taking down notes about business prospects or just doodling out pictures while taking a phone call, we all end up staring at note pads and post it notes during the course of a normal business day. Instead of staring at a blank page, though, your clients and business partners could be staring at your company name and logo. Note pad printing, especially when used as a freebie pack-in with outgoing orders, can make sure your company name is always the first that comes to your customer’s minds.

Magnets - Business cards are great for spreading your name, but sometimes they just get lost in your contact’s wallets or simply forgotten about. If you print magnets with your company name and contact information, though, you have a better chance of it being there when your clients are looking for your number. Instead of wasting away in the folds of their wallet, your name will be displayed on their refrigerator or file cabinet.

An established and well recognized name will earn you more long term business than any single advertisement. Keep that in mind the next time you hit up your printing company and give these long term business builders a try.
