One of the fun (and challenging) things about social media is that things are always changing. New platforms appear and others fade (anyone still have a MySpace account?!). This month, I’ve started pinning and tweeting. Pinterest is a fun way to keep things fresh and get inspired by other people, and I’m finding Twitter to be a fantastic way to stay connected to my local community.

Promote You on Twitter

I’ve started following local news sources and city twitter accounts, such as @MayorWatts and @surreylibrary. I also follow business resources like @mashable and @BCBusiness.

Promote You on Pinterest

So far, my Pinterest billboards are more of a reflection of who I am personally, rather than my business. But then again, my business is also a reflection of my personality.

The Calgary Stampede, celebrating its 100th year, runs from July 6-15th.

We can almost hear the cheers here in British Columbia, the Calgary Stampede set a new record for overall daily attendance on Sunday, July 8 with over 184,000 visitors.

I’m thinking of my Calgary clients and friends this week – have fun! Someone please try the deep-fried pickle chips or the deep-fried wagon wheels for me and report back.

Not at the Stampede? Then you should contact us and we’ll help you select a promotional product that suits your business and your budget.

ASI Study Highlights

Here are some highlights from a study conducted by the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) and presented at the last ASI Power Summit. The study was called The Analysis of Channel Beliefs Vs. Customer Needs in the Advertising Specialty Industry and involved 544 end-users and 834 end-buyers of promotional products. End-users were screened based upon the type of products they currently had in their possession, and end-buyers based on products they’ve purchased in the last 24 months.

Promotional Items Lifespan

More than three-quarters of respondents have had their items for more than 6 months.

Promotional Pens Are Remembered

Writing instruments, such as promotional pens, are the most-recalled advertising specialty items (54% of respondents recall owning them), followed by shirts, caps and bags. Black ink is preferred to blue ink in printed promotional pens by a 2:1 margin among end-users.

Promotional Bags and Totes Are Used Most Frequently

Among wearable’s, shopping bags were reported to be used most frequently with respondents indicating that they used their bags an average of 9 times per month. They also deliver the most impressions: Each bag averages 1,038 impressions per month. End-users preferred canvas bags and totes (85.1% and 76%).

Promotional Mugs Used At Home More Than Expected

End-users use their promotional mugs almost equally at work (38.5%) and home (32..8%). Most popular colours for end-users surveyed were black (70%), blue (59.2%), and white (59.2%).

Hiring A Promotional Product Consultant

When selecting someone for your promotional needs, explore your options by researching the prospective companies’ websites. Look at how they represent and promote themselves to you, the client, which should reflect how effectively they will represent and promote your business.

Here are some other important considerations when selecting your promoter:

1. Personalized Service

Your time is valuable; look for a company that understands the demands of your business and works with you to maximize visibility and productivity. Some have mobile consultants to help accommodate your needs at your convenience. Ensure your business’ individual promotional needs are identified and met for maximized impact by the plan they present to you. They should have a clear, well-formed long-term plan, and be able to demonstrate how their plan will affect your business’ success.

Personalized service also includes a strong, demonstrated commitment to client confidentiality. The right promoter will ensure that your plan is unique to your business.

2. Expert Advice

Find out how long the promotional business has been operating and what experience the consultants have. An established company with a background in promotional products, placement and incentives will give the company a solid knowledge of protional strategy, as well as a network of suppliers and other connections that will benefit your business.

3. Fresh Ideas

You want a company that is able to service all of your promotional needs. Pick a promotional partner able to provide you with new, innovative products from industry-leading suppliers as well as unique and effective incentives for drawing new business or enhancing performance.

4. Quality Products

Look for a promotional business that can provide not only a variety of catalogues, but also samples of products and advertising solutions they have used in the past with success.

5. Valuable Reputation

When shopping for a company to provide your promotional items, look for accreditation with a professional association such as Promotional Product Professionals of Canada. Companies with these affiliations benefit from the ability to network with other promotional companies as well as suppliers. Membership in such an organization can also mean higher quality and more competitive pricing for promotional products and services.
