Get a Jump Start on Summer with Custom Branded Merchandise

Thursday, March 1st, 2012

Items that your clients can use in the summer make fantastic business gifts. Even though there’s still a little bit of winter ahead of us, giving your clients summer-related gifts branded with your logo is a great way to help them shake off the winter doldrums, look forward to the warm weather ahead, and remind them that you were the person who helped. Every time they look at that bottle of sunblock lotion imprinted with your logo, they’ll think of sunny days at the pool, lazy afternoons at the beach, and the creative company that provided them with such a great business gift.

Camping is a fun summer activity that many people enjoy. And it’s particularly popular right now because it’s a great activity for groups, organizations and families. Why not give your client a fleece blanket to ward off the chill once the blazing summer sun sets? A canteen to quench their thirst during long hikes is another fantastic piece of custom printed merchandise. Or you could present them with an umbrella to huddle under in case of an unexpected rain shower.

Nothing screams summer like a meal cooked on the grill. What if you presented your client with a grill imprinted with your logo? An indoor grill, an outdoor grill, or a portable grill that can be taken tailgating or on a camping trip would all be welcome business gifts. Make it a complete set and present a set of grill tools to go with it.

Give your client a summer business gift that says you care. Not only is sunblock a summer must-have, lip balm is, too. Or consider giving your client an ice pack to soothe any bumps or bruises that come with the hard playing that summer calls for.

There’s nothing like a summer picnic and for generations people have spread their blankets beneath a shady tree for a meal that would not be complete without the picnic basket to hold it. Another great business gift for the summer is a wine picnic basket that encourages your client to slow down, enjoy a glass of wine at sunset, and watch the fireflies come out.

Summer is a fantastic time to present your client with a business gift that invites them to enjoy everything the season has to offer. Contact BRAVA Marketing Promotions today and we’ll help you design a gift that will really impress your clients this season.

Take BRAVA Marketing Out to the Ball Game: Logo Branded Products Show Your Team Spirit

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

Currently there are more than 27 million small businesses operating in the United States. It’s true that BRAVA Marketing Promotions can help immeasurably with your company branding, and we encourage you to contact us to find out about all our custom printed merchandise.

But what if you don’t run a company? What if you’re a soccer mom or basketball dad, and your focus is game day? Is there any way for BRAVA Marketing to help you show your team spirit while keeping you comfortable in the stands? Of course there is!

Since the temperatures are still low, let’s start with winter sports. How about staying warm with a fleece blanket that’s imprinted with your child’s team logo on it? Or a pair of custom logo folding compact event binoculars to get you nice and close to the action? And if your lips chap, no worries. Have the team logo put on a round tin of lip balm. You’ll be the most branded parent at the game.

Now on to summer. How thrilled would your child be to see his or her team logo on a picnic tote? Or to be wearing custom printed sunglasses? And to keep everyone safe and team-proud, put the logo on a sun kit, with everything you need to block out those harmful rays.

Of course, team spirit knows no seasons, and BRAVA Marketing has a whole host of products that can be printed with any team logo that will really fire up the crowd. We’ve got foam paws, foam baseball mitts, and yes, even foam bread that reads “YOU ARE TOAST.” (Great to show the opposing team what’s going to happen to them.) And to get some noise going, you can put the logo on some hand clackers or some inflatable noise sticks. The stadium’s foundation will be rocking!

And after the big game is over and you’re bursting with pride for your soccer star or quarterback hero, you can have their big accomplishment commemorated on a beautiful plaque. Printed with the team logo, of course.

BRAVA Marketing can make game day special. Contact us today to learn about all of the sports-related products we carry. Go team!

Tips for Achieving Success at a Tradeshow or Convention with Promotional Products

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Tradeshows and conventions are still an important part of many companies’ marketing and sales strategies, and you need to stand out among the crowd with unique promotional products, compelling marketing materials, and leave a lasting impression.

 

Despite the declines that tradeshows and conventions experienced in the mid-2000s, according to ExpoWeb magazine, “moderate but steady momentum in the [trade show] industry has been building [in] the last couple years.” It’s still one of the best ways for companies to display and showcase their products and services face-to-face with potential new customers in their target markets. However, before you jump in (or jump back in) to the tradeshow and convention arena, here are a few questions to keep in mind:

 

Are the attendees at the event within your target market?

Know the audience to make sure it’s worth the expense and effort. It’s ideal if you can obtain a preliminary attendee list up front so that you know exactly what types of businesses and roles will be represented. Are they the decision makers who might be interested in purchasing your products and services? Also, if attendees have paid to attend the event, you will likely encounter higher quality leads.

 

Is the event the right size so that it’s worth your time, money, and effort?

Of course this will depend on your business, but you need to make sure that you will be meeting with enough prospects to make the event a financial success. Ask yourself, do I need to meet with 1,000 prospects or 200 prospects?

 

Will your marketing and promotional materials leave a lasting impression in a sea of competitors?

Tradeshows and conventions provide the perfect opportunity to meet potential customers, distribute marketing materials, exchange business cards, and demonstrate your products and/or services. The problem is tradeshows can often be like a circus or the midway at a county fair. There are lots of distractions for your potential clients. You need to make sure that your company doesn’t get drowned out by all the noise and commotion. Are your displays and promotional materials unique? Will your business stand out in the crowd and leave a lasting impression with your potential customers?

 

BRAVA Marketing Promotions offers thousands of imprinted promotional tradeshow and convention event products – everything your company needs to make its marketing presence at industry tradeshows, conventions, and special events a success!

 

BRAVA can custom imprint your corporate logo, company branding, or unique advertising message on a huge selection of tradeshow and convention products, including promotional tradeshow displays and banners, custom imprinted table covers and fitted display table skirts, promotional event signs and banner signage, promotional product replica inflatables, trade show badges and badgeholders, promotional lanyards, printed logo promotional balloons, and much more.  

 

 Contact BRAVA Marketing Promotions today and let us create unique tradeshow and convention products to leave a lasting impression with your potential clients.

Imprinted Promotional Items Have a Direct Impact on Customers

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Brad Duarte – BRAVA Marketing Promotions


It has been proven that advertising your brand, company, products or organization has a direct impact on your target audience. After viewing information or even just an image, your message starts to get through. You may need multiple impressions to break through the clutter but even just a few impressions have a positive impact. It is always better to go after your target market with a multi prong strategy than a onetime only blast of any media type.


Using a custom imprinted item with your logo, web address and contact information is a great way to strengthen any marketing program. It is a fact that most recipients of a custom imprinted product are very reluctant to toss it out. Your impression will stay around for a long time and may influence others in the area by association.


Choosing an item that reflects your message will also help reinforce your brand. If you are a food company giving out related cookware or utensils is helpful. If you are launching a new product choose an item that will be associated with your launch. Many times an item already exist that can match up very nicely with your message. Search for it as the right item with the right message is a powerful combination.


It is not always the price of the item but the perceived value to the recipient that is key. There are many custom imprinted products that have a high perceived value that are reasonably priced. Choose unique items that will carry your message well, have an impact to your target market and meet your budget requirements.

Plan ahead and get creative!


BRAVA Marketing Promotions www.bravamarketing.com offers more than 400,000 unique custom imprinted promotional products to increase your organizations brand and marketing impact. Contact us at 877-239-1227 toll free for ideas on the best values in results oriented promotional marketing items.

SPF and Custom Imprinted Sunblock that is right for you.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

By Brad Duarte, BRAVA Marketing Promotions

 

We wanted to pass this along to you from one of our partners as it really helps clarify the confusion around Sunblock and SPF levels.

 

You may have heard the term “SPF”.  Most know it means Sun Protection Factor.  But that is still pretty vague.

 

Everyone’s skin is different.  If you think about it, not even two people from the same family will sunburn or tan identically.  So, some sort of a yardstick was needed to provide the population with suncare products and an explanation of how it all works.  And so was born the SPF.

 

SPF is not about the STRENGTH of the sunblock.  It is about the amount of TIME IT IS GOOD FOR.

 

When you go in the sun without sunblock, your skin will usually start to redden after a time.  Let’s say that amount of time is 10 minutes.  If you are using SPF 15 sunscreen, you will be protected 15 times this amount of time.  In other words, 10 minutes x 15 = 150 minutes or 2.5 hours.  This is factoring in not sweating, wiping or toweling off the sunscreen.  The time factor on how long you take to get red is based on several factors with YOUR skin, including how fair you are, and other genetic stuff.

 

So, the higher the SPF rating, the LONGER it is good for, not the STRONGER it is.

 

Most people don’t spend hours and hours in the sun.  Which means that going out for a while with SPF 15 might be fine for you, as long as you don’t wash, sweat or wipe it off.  It benefits you to have a stronger rated sunblock if you plan on being outside for a fair bit of time.

Stimulus Package Fails to Impact Organizations Marketing Programs. Has All This Money Increased Your Marketing Budget Yet?

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

By Brad Duarte, BRAVA Marketing Promotions

For most businesses the answer is no.  Sales and Marketing budgets are projected to still be under a lot of pressure for 2010.  In general ad revenues have not rebounded.  Even some of the larger corporations have cut back – no Super Bowl Pepsi commercials this year.  So what can you do to still motivate your staff, existing customers and generate new prospects?

One of the most proven methods is the strategic use of custom imprinted products.  Branded or Logo printed items handed out at the right time can have a dramatic effect on sales, contributions and good will.  For 2010 there are many new promotional products that are both cost effective and impactful.  

The big PPAI trade show was just held in Las Vegas where hundreds of new custom printed products were introduced.  This year creativity is off the charts as new items in just about all categories strive to be unique, progressive, useful yet economical and offering a high perceived value.  Remember a little something is better than nothing at all.  This year there are lots of new custom imprinted products in every budget range that your organization can use to help achieve your goals and objectives.

SAVE BIG on Promotional Gifts

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

By Brad Duarte, BRAVA Marketing Promotions

Your company can still stand out at industry meetings by the branded corporate promotional gifts you hand out. We at BRAVA Marketing have some great suggestions to SAVE BIG on your promotional products.

Plan Way Ahead

Take time to select the most appropriate promotional gift. At BRAVA Marketing, with more than 400,000 promotional items and gifts, you can find suitable promotional items in every category at every price point—from the lowest cost to the most expensively priced promotional giveaway. For example, imprinted golf umbrellas can range from $9.31 up to $44.09 apiece.

The More You Buy, the More You Save

Choose one corporate gift and give it away over and over again this year. Think of it, if your company has three major meetings, order the same item in quantity for all three and you will SAVE BIG. A good example is the “Two-Tone Portfolio w/Bottle Holder QBXBI-FPDSL” which is $1 cheaper per portfolio if you buy 500 instead of 48. Just make sure the promo product is appropriate to all three special events.

SAVE on Shipping Costs

These days, shipping costs are a huge add-on to your order. While we can always fulfill your rush order in time for your important event, you can shave significant costs from your budget by leaving more leeway in the schedule for ground and freight shipping.

Print Your Logo in One Color

Try printing the custom imprinted item in one color, instead of two. The fewer colors you use on custom branding, skims more savings off the total printing costs.

Grab a Partner

If you and another vendor are attending the same event and have complimentary products and services, suggest teaming up with them to hand out a more expensive promotional item. It’s like that old philosophy: two can live cheaper than one!

No matter what you spend and no matter how much you save, the personalized gift should always reinforce your brand and reflect your company’s image.

BRAVA Marketing Promotions specializes in producing high quality promotional merchandise and unique custom printed products. These imprinted items are tailored to meet the specific promotional and marketing goals of the Fortune 500, small businesses and organizations. It’s quick and easy to secure the custom imprinted products you need to be successful. We view ourselves as an extension of your marketing and procurement department with innovative designs and ideas that utilize our up-to-date product merchandise knowledge. Contact us today at www.bravamarketing.com or 877-239-1227 toll-free for ideas for promotional products.

Meeting Budget Slashed. Help with Promotional Gifts!

Friday, January 30th, 2009

While every industry has been hit hard in this economy, businesses are still holding client meetings, trade shows and networking forums. The only difference is that the budget has been scaled way back.

For example, last year, you might have spent $10 per person on a promotion gift and now you’re only budgeted for $5. Or, a year ago, the budget only allowed $6 per person for that custom promotional gift, and now you have to find something for $3.50 per person.

Extravagant is OUT.

So while you’ve had to reign in the costs of your special event, you can still hand out quality promotional products to attendees, only now you will have to select them with greater care. And, don’t feel so bad about this. Right now, extravagant is “out” and practical items are “in”.

Think Value for the Price

You can find corporate promotional products in every price range. For example, looking for a custom imprinted travel mug? At BRAVA Marketing, we carry a wide selection of travel mugs, from a $1.50 plastic insulated and thermal mug, all the way up to the deluxe $26 insulated bottle and tumbler gift set.

Think Simple. Think Staying Power.

Don’t care for the inexpensive versions? As an alternative, select a custom imprinted gift in a category that starts at a lower cost point. How about giving out simple gifts such as imprinted pens and notepads, calendars, mouse pads, pencils, notebooks, post-it notes or organizers? The bonus is that these imprinted promotional items are always used and hang around for a LONG time.

Reflect Your Corporate Values

In the marketing promotions industry, we know one thing for sure – that when it comes to marketing your business now, you need to separate your brand from your competitors. So hold that industry meeting, stay within your budget and still hand out branded marketing giveaways. Just be sure your promotional items reflect your organization’s values.

BRAVA Marketing Promotions www.bravamarketing.com offers more than 400,000 unique custom imprinted promotional products to increase your corporate brand and marketing. Contact us at 877-239-1227 toll free for ideas on the best values in low cost promotional marketing items.
