Welcome to San Antonio Promo!

Proudly serving Houston to Austin since 1999!

Promotional products are outstanding promotional tools that are often useful or decorative in nature. When chosen wisely they can keep your message in your customers' minds for a long time. Printed with your details and/or logo, they help communicate and really drive home what it is you want to say about your business or organization.

If you are like many business owners you may be hoping to create interest in your products or services. Carefully chosen promotional products are proven business generators. Think about those promotional products on your desktop or the free promotional mug you picked up at your last trade show and you will probably understand why. Business gifts are also good low cost advertising tools for charitable organizations, schools and clubs. Picture what your target audience will enjoy receiving and you are on your way to a great promotion.

Following are five ways promotional products are used;

Incentives for hard work

Many business owners and managers offer products such as embroidered apparel, technological desktop items, crystal paperweights, coasters and of course promotional mugs to staff as incentives to work hard and meet targets. How about you? Can you see how this could work within your organization?

Product launches

Introducing your customers to a new product can be fun with promotional items that help create interest in your product. Try to think of items that could be used together with your new product. There are literally thousands of popular promotional items out there that could really create a buzz around product launch time.

Making life better

Have you ever stayed at a hotel where they offer embroidered bath robes or nice pen and pad sets personalised with the hotel logo? Often it is the little things that make a product or service that much more special. Can you think of a product that might help your customers to really appreciate and enjoy using your new products and services?

Fund-raising events

Your logo printed on top quality promotional items will create interest and pride in your organization. People like to wear the logo of organizations they support and are happy to pay money for products personalized with that logo. The same is true with every day products such as desktop items.

Growing your business

Research has shown that people who receive a promotional product are more likely to do business with the company that gave it to them. A long well thought out promotional gifts campaign does not need to be expensive to be productive. Why not try to get your logo and details in as many places in your customers' offices as possible over the next twelve months?

How to Make the Best Use of Promotional Items Think through what your audience’s everyday needs are like, and what small item could slip into their routine without much prodding. Don’t get too ambitious: you want to keep costs down, and you also want to make sure your recipients find it familiar enough to incorporate into their daily routine without thinking about it.

Find items that are the most useful and pervasive for your clients day-to-day. If you market to businesses, focus on things that would help around the office: flash drives, coffee mugs, desk decorations, and the like. If you cater to the household consumer, try refrigerator magnets, notepads, or dog toys. Remember, you want it to be something that’s everyday enough to slip right in at home, but unique enough to trigger a thought about where it came from. Once they know it’s there, they know you’re there, and better yet – they know where to find you.

What to Keep in Mind

Although part of the strategy is to spend less than you would on other methods of advertising, try not to go too cheap. People tend to appreciate a bit of craftsmanship or elegance and sometimes it's better to spend a little bit more than you thought, instead of a little bit less than you should. A pen that writes poorly and feels clunky is likely to get tossed in the garbage can, but a good solid one will be kept by your client or prospect engaged for years.

Great promotional items do the following:

Target customers and give them what they need and want.
Are attractive and communicate your brand message.
Are in-line with your brand image.
