10 Creative Ways to Use Promotional Products for Brand Recognition

Written by: Aisling Graham

Promotional products have long been a powerful tool for brands to build brand recognition and create lasting impressions with their target audience. These products can be pens, caps, or tote bags with your logo and message.

Here are 10 ways promotional products can increase brand recognition:

Trade Show Giveaways

To stand out at trade shows, offer unique, useful promotional items that people will remember. As an example, giving out branded eco-friendly tote bags at an event can show you care about the environment and give people something useful to use during the event.

Customer Loyalty Rewards

Give exclusive promotional items to loyal customers. You might want to start a loyalty program where customers can earn points for every purchase, which they can exchange for branded items like custom drink bottles or hats.

Employee Appreciation Gifts

Give your employees branded items as gifts to show how much you appreciate them. Custom jackets and tech gadgets can boost team unity and morale while spreading the word about your brand outside of work.

Social Media Contests

Hold contests on social media with promotional items as gifts or prizes to get more people to follow you. Invite your followers to share your posts or tag friends to enter to win branded items. This will make your brand more visible and encourage more people to interact with it online.
