Winter is coming, and for business development teams around the country that means annual deadlines are not far behind. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to close deals is by finding creative ways to re-engage with leads that have gone cold for one reason or another. Maybe someone never followed up on a point of contact. Perhaps they became too busy to take your demo. Whatever the reason, seasoned professionals know that cold leads can still be converted with the right strategies. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When emails, phone calls or other forms of contact haven\u2019t been quite enough to get your customers over the edge, you may want to consider sending some swag<\/strong><\/a> their way. If chosen properly and executed well, the perfect gift can help you reignite interest in your brand and services, giving you the opportunity to make a more effective pitch when the time is right.\u00a0
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some ideas to warm up those cold leads with quality gifts that are easy to customize, store, and ship with Swag.com:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Front of Mind With an Everyday Use Gift<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s possible that your lead went cold simply because they are too busy to keep your brand or pitch at the front of their mind. This is an all-too-common situation that isn\u2019t necessarily resolved by hammering someone\u2019s overcrowded inbox or phone line. Instead, we recommend a more creative approach that will make sure your messaging stands out. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try sending custom, branded products that your leads will use every day. This can be something as simple as a phone charger<\/strong><\/a>, or as complex as a desk organizer<\/strong><\/a>. Show your customers you can anticipate their needs by sending an umbrella with your logo on it<\/strong><\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is to give something that solves a problem– and links you to the solution.

Keep the Relationship Warm with a Custom Thermos or Tumbler<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an industry secret about swag: people love<\/em> thermoses. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To show a potential customer that you really value their business, prove you\u2019re invested in the relationship by sending one of the most useful gifts around. A pro tip is to learn a bit about your lead beforehand, if you can, and try to match them with the right drink wear.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We carry tons of different thermoses, ranging from the sportier Contigo 16 Oz. Loop 2.0 Bottle<\/strong><\/a> to the luxurious S’well 18 Oz. Tumbler<\/strong><\/a>. Maybe you remember that they love espresso — in that case, check out our Chocolate Espresso<\/strong><\/a>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can get your brand associated with the feeling of drinking the first cup of coffee in the morning, consider your leads hot<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Outfit Your Lead With Branded Winter Apparel<\/strong>
<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Like the end of the year, winter weather sneaks up on us without much warning. Use this to your advantage by providing leads with small pieces of clothing that can shield them from the elements and promote your business at the same time. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your leads are in a snowy climate, send them a pair of cool customized gloves<\/strong><\/a>, or maybe a scarf adorned with your logo<\/strong><\/a>. Socks are always an unexpectedly fun option in this category, and we have everything from calf height<\/strong><\/a> to ankle height<\/strong><\/a>. If you want to reach leads in a warmer winter wonderland, a pair of branded holiday sunglasses<\/strong><\/a> might be the perfect way to get a chuckle and a phone call back.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the first unexpected snow falls, your leads will remember who kept them comfy on their commute home.<\/p>\n\n\n
