However, with so many different products available, choosing the right ones for your business can be difficult.

1) Who are you talking to and where are you meeting them?

Who is your target audience? What are the demographic of the customers you’re looking to attract — age, activities, income. What about your existing customer?  Is your strongest appeal to corporate clients or the larger community? Are you gearing up for a trade show? Are you looking for corporate gifts? Drinkware, t-shirts, and sweatshirts for sports and corporate events? Jackets and vests for trail hiking? Duffle bags and backpacks for travel? Or date books and tote bags for family activities? How about eco-friendly giveaways made in the USA? Your target audience will impact how, where, and which promotional items you select. Answering these questions about your audience are key to all your marketing efforts, so determining the answers is helpful beyond just your swag strategy. Once you know these basics, Swag.com can help you. All the way from choosing the right promotional item choice through custom printing and timely delivery.

2) What’s your best strategy for your budget?

The right promotional strategy has to fits within your budget. Are you looking for lower-priced promotional items for tradeshow giveaways? Or more luxury items for corporate gifts or customer appreciation? But, whether the budget is large or small you have to spend wisely and choose items that will be used and appreciated, not thrown away. If you can find the right items for your audience they’ll make your company logo and brand unforgettable. What outcome could be better than customers old and new regularly thinking about your company?

3) What is your distribution plan?

Once you choose the right products, you have to consider how you are going to get these awesome promotional products into the hands of your prospects and customers. If it is for your trade-show and event marketing, plan ahead to make sure your are not paying extra to rush items to the events. Or order in bulk to reduce overall costs. Don’t have room to store all the swag needed for your busy event schedule, let us hold it in inventory and ship the items to were you need them.  Not only will this save you money, it will save you the time and stress of counting your swag and packing and shipping boxes.
