Individual designs and promotional gifts: corporate communications with giveaways, mailing enhancers and on-packs

The advertising item builds a bond between you and your target group and will be remembered for a long time, not least because of its emotional appeal. As a result, the perception of a mailing, that might end up unopened in the wastepaper basket, increases considerably if it is enhanced with a “mailing enhancer” to become a sensual item triggering sensual stimuli for the recipient.

As a distinguished carrier of advertising messages, promotional items are not only among the top performers alongside the company's website, trade fairs, field sales activities, mailings and advertising in trade journals, but also among the top performers when it comes to choosing the most effective means of communication. Advertisers often use it in combination with other activities to amplify the message.

But why are giveaways or promotional gifts so popular?

That is due to the obvious benefits, the always visible advertising message and the growing demand of its followers. This is also proven by the following impressive figures: More than 70 million people already have advertising or promotional gifts and use them over a long period of time.

Pins, lanyards, shopping trolley chips and reusable bags are among the most popular promotional items. They are useful accessories, merchandise items and giveaways at the same time.

As "on-pack" they tempt customers to buy and as mailing enhancers they attract attention that almost no one can avoid. Also pens, key rings, bottle openers and notepads are giveaways which are very popular.

All-rounders: Lanyards

Whether for the trade fair, merchandising or an event - a lanyard is always a good idea. For the young generation lanyards are a replacement for the key ring. Parents appreciate the free movement of the arms provided by a lanyard: The lanyard offers the possibility to fish for your mobile phone or keys, even with the baby in your hands.

The lanyards gained a lot of attention during big events. Over time they became an appreciated and original mass-produced article with a broad impact. A trend that continues to this day. They are perfect for ticket, identity card and mobile phone holders as well as key rings. You can also design them completely individually with your corporate message to suit your chosen business, marketing and campaign strategy.

Light, robust and with a large refinement surface - MEIN JOHANN is available in six standard shapes, with or without bottle opener. Individual shapes of the shopping trolley releaser are also possible. Both sides can be printed with your design. A find system (KeyRefinder®) can be added optionally. Then a number is embossed on the back, which is registered at the service department. In case of loss or discovery, the key can be assigned to the registered owner.

This is what your promotional gifts could look like:
On which occasions do you want to distribute your promotional gifts?

Promotional items have different functions. They are a key to first contact, an expression of gratitude or simply a very special commemorative item. Trade fair giveaways help you to overcome customer inhibitions and earn loyalty and sympathy among the customers. People, who are presented with a little gift, are more willing to listen. And mailings, which take representational aspects into account, are read and more easily lead to a purchase.

In addition, promotional gifts also represent real corporate identity. For example, a promotional gift affects the behavior of employees during a sales talk. Through customized promotional gifts, which are the subject of conversation, they can represent their company in a much clearer and more self-confident way than without promotional gifts.

Fair visitors in the corridor

Promotional gifts are an ideal way of communicating with the target group at events such as election events, concerts, sports festivals, celebrations, festivals or promotional tours. Sponsors are able to present themselves, initiate lotteries and let organizers turn their event into a unique experience. Many promotional gifts are treasured for a long time to remember concerts or celebrations, despite their often low value.

As a mailing enhancer, promotional gifts emphasize the value and importance of promotional mailings. Because the haptic aspect of an advertising article cannot be valued highly enough. This is how flat or light promotional gifts add a special touch to a mailing. The recipient feels the item inside the envelope. He becomes curious and opens the letter. The attention is therefore enhanced even before the message is perceived. The reward center of the brain is stimulated, the willingness to accept the message increased. In addition, the effect can be further increased with high-quality packaging, an accompanying letter, a style that deviates from the norm and a professionally written text.

Promotional gifts are door openers for the sales force. If they are competent, they know that a promotional gift will facilitate communication and create a positive atmosphere. The customer will remember product, logo and a friendly sales force. 

Cheap promotional items are also popular as add-on items. They can easily trigger the consumer's desire as on-pack or in-pack. A product with a free extra suggests an added value and is often bought. The purchase decision is clearly influenced.
