Promotional items, you know, pens, flash drives, shirts, hats and thousands of other items that are handed out at trade shows or given to customers. We can get those for you. The fact is, that not many promo items (excluding apparel) or going to be done locally. There are a set number of manufacturers out there that make them, and any local marketing firm or printer can get them for you. So why get them from To Eleven Marketing? For a couple of reasons. First, we are very competitive on price. As I mentioned, in a lot of cases marketing firms are going to the same manufacturers, and price is simply a matter of how much they mark up the price to you. For us, promotional items are an extension of servicing the client, so we provide to your with minimum markup. They are not a profit center for us, we make money on our design and consulting services, and this is something we offer because we can do it well - providing a fair price to your for the product.
The second reason is that there really is thousands of potential promotional products out there, and we like to think that the creative talents at To Eleven will help you come up with a clever idea that makes the best marketing sense - does it reflect well of your company? does it tie in with the product or services your promote? and will it appeal to your target customer? For example, working with one of our clients, a local pharmacy, we came up with an idea for a small portable hand sanitizer, labeled with their business information. It was timely, as H1N1 was all the rage at that time, and it tied into their business model of improving the health and well being of their customers. Certainly more targeted to their business and customers than pens, and they turned out to be a big hit.
So next time you have a promotional event coming up, a product launch or a trade show, or just a catchy leave-behind for your sales team, give us a shout and we can help you come up with a creative solution - something they haven't seen before, and they will really use, and then remember your name.
