Define Your Goals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s important to know what you&#8217;re actually wanting to achieve with these products.  The goal of your campaign will greatly influence which product you should be selecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you&#8217;re holding a trade show packets of mints with your logo could be a great option for attracting attendees to your stand and generating leads.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you were to be giving those same packets of mints to your biggest clients or staff as an end of year gift it probably wouldn&#8217;t go down so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the most popular reasons why people use promotional merchandise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Have a succesful event<\/li><li>Show appreciation<\/li><li>Launch a new product<\/li><li>Generate leads\/referalls<\/li><li>Employee onboarding (promote company culture)<\/li><li>Increase brand awareness and reall<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So now that you&#8217;ve got a goal in mind it&#8217;s time to set a budget that matches this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CamleBak-Bottle-Lifestyle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"415\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CamleBak-Bottle-Lifestyle.jpg\" alt=\"Man outdoors opening CamelBak drink bottle\" class=\"wp-image-3489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CamleBak-Bottle-Lifestyle.jpg 415w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CamleBak-Bottle-Lifestyle-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/CamleBak-Bottle-Lifestyle-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"budget\">Step 3. Set A Budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few ways to go about setting your budget for promotional products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can calculate how much you are willing to spend on each recipient and then multiply that by the total number of recipients.  For example, if you&#8217;re willing to spend $5 per recipient and have 2500 recipients your total budget will be $12,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, if you&#8217;ve already been given a marketing budget promotional products will usually be included in this.  The proportion of the budget will differ on a company to company basis.  Most large organisations usually spend 2-5% of their marketing budget on branded merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"415\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mouse-Mat.jpg\" alt=\"Corporate worker using a cork mouse mat with logo engraving\" class=\"wp-image-3491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mouse-Mat.jpg 415w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mouse-Mat-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Mouse-Mat-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"scope\">Step 4. Narrow The Scope Of Products<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s getting close to crunch time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your target audience and budget in mind narrow down your search to just a few product categories.  For example, a company presenting at a trade show may narrow it down to &#8220;pens&#8221;, &#8220;confectionery&#8221; and &#8220;tote bags&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Promo Tip:<\/strong> Listen to your target recipient for products they might like to receive.  You can even do a poll on social media or directly ask them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"415\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Printed-Cotton-Tote-Bag.jpg\" alt=\"Promotional shopping bag filled with groceries and food\" class=\"wp-image-3488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Printed-Cotton-Tote-Bag.jpg 415w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Printed-Cotton-Tote-Bag-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Printed-Cotton-Tote-Bag-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"colours-and-decoration\">Step 5. Decide On A Colour And Decoration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now&#8217;s the best part, finalising the colours and deciding how your logo is going to be shown on the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing a colour it&#8217;s generally best practice to match your brand&#8217;s colours.  If your logo or brand has multiple colours you can include both by alternating the print colours and product colour.  When in doubt a black or white product is always a smart choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your first thought may be to print your logo there are many eye-catching options available now.  We highly recommend you speak with an account manager who can provide you with decoration suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Off the list here are some popular options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Laser engraving<\/li><li>Screen printing or pad printing<\/li><li>Digital printing (maxiCOLOUR Print)<\/li><li>Sublimation printing<\/li><li>Debossing\/Embossing<\/li><li>Embroidery<\/li><li>Supasub\/Supaetch\/Supaflex<\/li><li>Resin coated finish<\/li><li>Digital label<\/li><li>Wrap\/Rotary print<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"415\" height=\"415\" src=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Print.jpg\" alt=\"Screen printing machine set up ready to print t-shirt\" class=\"wp-image-3486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Print.jpg 415w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Print-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.promotionproducts.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Screen-Print-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summing Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;There is only one way to eat an elephant, one bite at a time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same mindset applies to choosing fantastic promotional merchandise.
