Why Bike Shops Will Bring in Customers With Custom Spiral Cable Lock Gifts

Branding, Business Gifts, Marketing, Promotional Marketing, , , , , ,

What’s the one thing plaguing people with bikes? They get stolen! Hello, remember the movie “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure”? Yeah, that movie. Bikes are  a hot commodity, easy to steal, and even better — you can sell them pretty darn quickly if you’re that cunning of a thief. So, needless to say, if a criminal sees your bike, you better have a way to lock it up tight like Fort Knox, or your investment’s good as gone.

This Is Why as a Bike Shop, Custom Spiral Cable Lock Gifts on Top of a Bike Purchase Goes a Long Way

You’re not only branded and setting up promotional marketing — you’re offering an even better value to a customer purchasing a bike. Be creative. Set it up as a special offer. Get the word out. Buy a bike, get a free spiral cable lock. Makes for a great way to get some visibility and interest going.

The point of a spiral cable lock is that it’s a bit easier than one of those numerical locks, which people can often forget what their combinations are. A simple key-and-lock system offers something safer and simpler without losing the added security. You park your bike, you unlock the cable, hook it up, fasten it, and no one will ever try and steal your commodity right from under your nose. It’s a win-win (and a lose-lose for thieves out there).

So You Can Only Imagine Just How Happy a Customer Would Be for Buying a Bike

Or better yet…. Bringing in a bike for repair! Get a free spiral cable lock. Come again. Customers remember just how much value you provided on top of repairing that bike, or selling you a hot item. Goes miles and miles.

All you need to do is check us out at BRAVA Marketing for the designs we have in spiral cable lock promotional gifts. Contact us when you find something you like. And don’t forget to lock up that bike.

Making Your Employees Happy With USB Locks as Corporate Gifts

Branding, Business Gifts, High Tech, Marketing, Promotional Marketing, , , , , ,

This is especially the case for companies involving computers, workstations, and laptops. Security’s big these days. Why not help out employees some by ensuring their private information — and your sensitive corporate info — remain protected? Makes sense.

Heck, You Don’t Even NEED to Have These USB Locks as Corporate Gifts

Simply stock up on these babies and offer one each to each employee. You can even personalize them, owning up to the fact that each employee deserves privacy and protection at his/her desk.

This provides ownership to the employee. They’re in charge of their work space. They have a dedicated USB lock designed to protect their work from anyone — hackers, malicious spyware, you name it. Sure, they make great gifts. But they can easily make better branded materials for your entire business.

You see, the point of a USB lock is that you have a simple flash drive. Only it’s not just a flash drive. It’s basically a key. The key is designed to lock whatever device you’ve inserted the drive into. Once inserted, you’re the only one that can get into your computer/laptop/tablet/phone. Once you remove it, though, the device is locked. No one can take another flash drive, stick it into your device, and steal any information — or even view the information!

The technology’s relatively new but sweeping the nation, particularly with IT and other computer-related industries. Leverage this. Own it. Brand it. Make it your own. Believe us: your employees will be impressed that you have this in place. It’s secure. It’s safe. And the best part? It’s branded.

All You Need to Do Is Contact BRAVA Marketing and Get Your Own Customized USB Locks

Go for it. Contact us right now. You can also peruse the many designs we have on locks for even more ideas. Whatever the case may be, one thing’s for sure: no one’s going to get the jump on you!

Personalizing Bead Necklaces to Highlight Your Employees

Branding, Business Gifts, Marketing, Promotional Marketing

The idea of personalizing bead necklaces as a form of promotional marketing has to fit the particular industry, just FYI. After all, if you’re working in an oil rig, and you need name tags, you’re not going to opt for bead necklaces! (Or maybe you just might, who knows).

The Point Behind Nifty Bead Necklaces, Personalized, Is That They’re Way Better Than Name Tags

They’re fashionable, for one thing. But they’re also branded, focused on the customer service — and this accomplishes miles and miles for the retail market, especially if you’re in the clothing industry.

Think of your employees, for one (and it may even work for male employees as well). Why force them to wear name tags when you can easily brand bead necklaces as a way to highlight fashion as well as communication? Your customers need to identify with your employees? Contact BRAVA Marketing and see what we can do about personalizing bead necklaces for employees and make it that much easier for your employees not only to appreciate the fashion cool-ness, but offer that extra awesomeness for the customer.

Your employees will look good. Feel good. And do an even better job than the employee wearing a cheesy polo and a name tag as a way of identification.

Simply Have the Printed Copy on Your Beaded Necklaces List the “Name” of Each Employee

With fast delivery, you can order any bead necklace featuring any name you want. You can purchase bulk orders of any iteration as well, whether it’s Amy S., or Amy B., or Amy C., or any other combination, so when you hire new people, you have a bead necklace they can wear that speaks to them as well as the customer.

That’s promotional marketing and employee morale all rolled up into one. You can’t beat that anywhere else other than BRAVA Marketing. So check out our designs right now. See what fits you and your business.

Why the New On-Demand Bead Necklace Model Makes for Great Corporate Gifts

Branding, Business Gifts, Marketing, Promotional Marketing, , , , ,

The thing about corporate gifts is that they’re often one-offs, easily forgotten and not as memorable. Sure, the bead necklace looks great, but then it gets lost in the shuffle, and you’re not delivering a lasting impression for your clients, colleagues or employees. So what do you do? How do you go that extra mile, show appreciation, improve the company morale, and leverage customer satisfaction beyond that of product/service excellence?

You Take Advantage of the Newest On-Demand Model Sweeping the Nation — Inject It Into Jewelry, or Simply  a Bead Necklace or Two!

Why not? It’s definitely a big push that’ll go miles for your clients. Your employees would love it, too. And, definitely, you’ll expect some rave reviews and a lot of awesome word-of-mouth advertising by doing what can only be considered the “on-demand” method.

Let’s explain. You’ve heard of Netflix, right? How about the Dollar Shave Club? Even companies like Golden Gate Organics in the organic grocery industry employ the on-demand method to great effect — but what really gets people going with this type of business is that you’re often not just getting one product — you’re getting several. Usually in a box. A nicely wrapped box. And that’s the cherry on top.

It’s about the presentation. If you’re looking to leverage bead necklaces as a great corporate gift, pair that with other awesome items and present it all in a box, similar to the on-demand format, and even personalize all those items.

Jewelry’s great when it’s in a package. You’ve got a bead necklace here, and other there. You’ve got several styles. Maybe a ring or two, or a chain. The point is you’ve branded all of it, and the value’s on the uptick in a big way. It’s no longer a small little box with one bead necklace — it’s a package deal, and that automatically makes the value of such a corporate gift that much better.

When You Think About It, the Idea of Corporate Gifts Really Is like On-Demand

The fact is you’re still doing this regularly. So it might as well be called “on-demand.” Your employees (chances are they may all be female) will continue getting nifty boxes with jewelry, branded just for them and the business, every Christmas, July 4th, or any other holiday. It’s on-demand…except they don’t have to pay for it! It’s free.

Try and tell me that won’t make a client, colleague, customer or employee smile from ear to ear. Visit BRAVA Marketing and see for yourself. Check out our designs right now. Contact us! And start stocking up on the best promotional bead necklaces money can buy.
