Know how you are going to distribute your promotional apparel item.
There are many ways to get a message out. Promotional
apparel items can be appropriate vehicles in a variety of situations, such as:
groups; events; business functions; sales forces; teams; and a broad range of
other customers and clients.
Promotional apparel items can be distributed in many
different ways and to accomplish many different objectives, such as: at an
event sign-up area; at the completion of an event; for the crew or staff of an
event; for the participants of an event; as a mail-order reward; by cashing in
a voucher, a coupon, or points; by being tossed into the audience at an event;
at a booth at a tradeshow; to raise money at a fundraiser; as an incentive to
try something new (an opportunity for you to up-sell); as a contest prize; by mail as a free sample or introduction; etc. There is a lot of room for creativity (and
keeping costs down) here.
Tips & Tactics
Since goodwill and word-of-mouth advertising is hard to
measure, be sure to measure them whenever you get the opportunity. Make sure
that your website's sign-up areas and any print forms your customers fill out
include a question asking: "How did you hear about us?". Then track
how often a promotional item is mentioned.
If promotional apparel (e.g., clothing) items are not as
affordable or as unique as your budget would prefer, consider going with promotional headwear which can start at a price range that is at par or even lower than the
per-unit cost of a standard t-shirt. The types of headwear include: baseball
caps, visors, knit or fleece caps, wind or sun hats, headbands, skull caps, or
beanie caps -- many of which happen to be trendy with the younger audience.
When deciding on the colors and placement of your logo and
message, do not feel limited to only the front, back, or pocket area. Also use
the collars, cuffs, trim, and shirt edges or seams. Have a design that is over
the shoulder, or that snakes around the side. Be a little off-beat if that is
consistent with the strategy for the image you want to portray.
