Are you interested in getting your name out in to the community? Do you have the type of business that would benefit from people getting to know who you are? Realtors, salesmen and business owners need to have their name or service be the first thing someone thinks of. Seeing your name over and over can be very helpful.

Years ago it was popular to hand out pens, note pads and pencils at the county fair. Everyone enjoys getting something for free, Sometimes the pens ran out of ink or dried up very quickly. That was not very good advertising. It is not a way to win customers.

Times have changed. There are new ways of advertising. Newspapers and mailings no longer bring in the needed results. But promotional items are still working and businesses who use them have great results. It is no longer, just pens and pencils, all kinds of items can have your name added.. The cost is minimal and the results are great. Years from now, you might be at the goodwill or a garage sale and see something with your name on it. Do not be offended. It is just your advertising dollars still working for you

Promotional items also make good thank you gifts for your employees. When it is time to say thank you, a gift with your name and logo can be perfect. Make sure the gift is something of quality. The gift item represents you and your company or business. It does not have to be expensive. A shopping bag could make a great gift. Every time it gets carried into the mall, it is advertising for you. Most employees are happy to have clothing with the company logo on it. They enjoy wearing the shirt or sweater and again your name is catching people's eye.

Make sure you order things that the general population would enjoy. Ordering chop sticks to represent a pizza business is poor planning. It is easy to do and fun, once you get the hang of it.
