Promotional items are much more important in building a business than most people think. By getting your company’s name, logo and tagline in front of people on a regular basis, you build not only brand awareness but a relationship.

The wide variety of promo electronics available means you can spread your message in a variety of ways. Just a few of those ways include:

- Lumpy Mail: People open their mail over the trash can. Anything that looks like junk mail immediately gets dumped. Almost everyone opens a package or an envelope with something in it—“lumpy mail.” Using promo electronics to get your mail opened increases the chance that the prospect will buy your service or product. Unopened mail doesn’t get the desired response.
- Trade Show Handouts: Instead of the usual pen, try handing out promo electronics. People will appreciate, keep and use these handouts more than they do pens or other ubiquitous trade show gifts. They’ll also stay and find out more about your product or service because you gave them what they see as a valuable gift.
- Event-Branded Merchandise: If you’re holding an event, consider using promo electronics either as handouts or as merchandise for sale. Long after the event, the electronic item will still be in use and advertising your company and your event.
- Sales Call Leave-Behinds: When your sales reps meet with a prospect, have them say, “This is for you,” and leave a promo electronics item. Everyone loves getting a gift, and the Rule of Reciprocity says that if you give someone a gift, they’ll want to do something for you in return.
- Community Activities: When your organization hosts a booth at a local benefit or community event, have promo electronics on hand to give out or offer as door prizes, depending on the size of the event.

There are many more ways to use promo electronics, but these ideas should get you thinking and help you come up with even more ways to use these promotional items to build your business. The choices of promotional items should give you food for thought.
