Getting your company’s name and logo on potential customer’s hands is the right way to make your market presence. In fact, using promotional products is one of the easiest ways to market your business and to keep your business image and name right in front of your clients and prospective customers.  There have been lots of ideas for promotional items ranging from the conventional calendars, to the practical desktop planners. And when we talk about the popularity of promotional products, it is simply impossible to ignore the popularity of flyers which are better known as frisbees.

Promotional frisbee is a great option for marketing especially if your clients reside in the coastal areas. The custom printed frisbees and personalized frisbees are also a big hit among people who love to unwind with a frisbee on the beach on a lazy weekend.

Promotional frisbees are cost effective promotional items where the space on top of the frisbee can be used for imprinting your company’s name, logo and tagline. In fact the prominent logo used on the frisbees is effective in attracting eyeballs towards your logo and brand.

Promotional flyers, better known as frisbees are great corporate gifts for promoting your business logo or slogan. They come in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes which add a dash of spice to your promotional campaign. There are even environmentally friendly promotional frisbees which are made from recycled plastics and serve as evidence that you do your bit towards the conservation of the environment.

Here are some reasons why using promotional frisbees for your next marketing project should be a good idea:

Increases Brand Awareness: Promotional frisbees are the perfect way to make your company soar high above the competition. You can get your brand, product or slogan noticed while your clients and employees enjoy a day out with their family or friends. This way every time your employees or customers whirl the custom frisbees high up in the air, your brand visibility rises.

Low-cost Gift Items: Promotional flyers are inexpensive, usually costing about a dollar or lesser. This way you can run a successful marketing campaign without spending much. And when you buy it in bulk or during a discount sale, the price goes lower.

Usability Element: Not only are promotional frisbees low-cost gift items, they are also great gifts for everyone in the family. Customized frisbees can be enjoyed by different age groups of people when playing outdoors, in the backyard, on the beach, or during a family picnic. Not only small kids but even family pets like to chase  frisbees, much to the amusement of the onlookers.

Perfect Giveaway Item: Promotional frisbees or flyers are also great items to advertise with during a convention or a tradeshow. This small and cost effective giveaway gift from your company can get you many loyal customers in the future.

Choose quality frisbees to advertise your company or service after imprinting your corporate logo or slogan on them.

Presenting your business, services, and business ideas to clients and prospective clients is an integral part of generating high interest in your small business and continuing to generate high interest in your business through the changes that are inherent in every business industry. Presentations help you to illustrate your business mission, services, goals, and ideas more clearly. Promotional materials given to attendees provide them with tangible reminders of what has been presented to them. Promotional materials are also used of course to help promote your business and they should not be restricted to handouts to attendees of your meetings, but also as part of strategic promotional runs.

This is all well and good. As most of us know, presentations and promotional materials are huge helpers in generating high interest in our businesses.

You have a competitive enough road ahead of you as a small business trying to compete with not just other small businesses, but bigger businesses as well. Efficiency is important in any sized business. But it takes on even more of significance for the small business. You have less starting capital funds and resources to leverage with in the marketplace. Therefore you need to be especially efficient in the distribution of these for greater productivity, giving you added leverage over competing businesses.

If you think only big corporate names need to think about things like brand names, think again. Your brand says a lot about you and your business, and that’s as true for a one person home-based operation as it is for a multinational conglomerate. In this article we look at how creating a strong brand for your business can help you set yourself apart from the pack and lay the right foundation for the future growth of your business.

WHAT IS A BRAND?

Your brand is more than just the logo on your letterhead and business cards or your business name. It is your corporate identity. An effective brand tells the world who you are, what you do and how you do it, while at the same time establishing your relevance to and credibility with your prospective customers.

Your brand is also something more ethereal. It is how your business is perceived by its customers. If your brand has a high perceived value, you enjoy many advantages over your competition, especially when it comes to pricing. Why do you think people are prepared to pay stupid money for items of clothing with the initials “CK” on them? Perceived value. Perceived value as a result of very effective brand promotion resulting in very high brand awareness.

Now, I’m not saying we all need to rush out and start creating brands that are going to be recognized the world over. Most of us simply don’t have the time or other resources necessary. What I am suggesting, however, is that it is possible for your brand to dominate your niche.

WHY DO I NEED TO CREATE MY OWN BRAND?

=> Differentiation

We touched on this in the previous section when we looked at what a brand is and how it can be used to increase the perceived value of your products and services. The main reason for creating your own brand is to differentiate yourself from your competition. New websites are a dime a dozen. So are home-based businesses. You need to constantly be looking for ways to set yourself apart from your competition. Your brand can do that for you.

=> More Effective, Efficient Marketing

Another good reason for creating your own brand is to make your sales force (even if that’s a sales force of one – you) more effective and efficient.

Imagine if you didn’t have to spend the first 50% of your time with a new prospect explaining who you are, what you do and how you do it. What if your brand had already communicated that for you? You can spend 100% of your time focusing on sales rather than educating your prospects about your business

Another benefit of branding is that the efforts you expend increasing your brand awareness through promoting and marketing your brand to your target market automatically transfers to your products and services. So, even when you’re advertising your brand, you’re indirectly also marketing your products and services.

HOW DO I CREATE MY OWN BRAND?

OK, so you’re convinced you need to create your own brand. Where on earth do you start?

We saw earlier that your brand needs to say who you are, what you do and how you do it. It needs to do all these things at the same time as establishing your relevance to and building credibilty with your prospective customers. Needless to say, it is absolutely essential, if you are to build your own brand, that *you yourself* have a firm grasp of who you are, what you do and how you do it. If not, you’re going to have the devil’s own time getting that message across to anyone else, let alone establishing your relevance and credibility.

=> Write A Mission Statement

So, let’s start by creating a mission statement. What is the mission of your business? Obviously you’re in business to make a profit. But making a profit is a byproduct of a successful business. Focus instead on how you choose to achieve that profit. What are your core values?

A good place to begin thinking about your mission is to put yourself in the shoes of your customers. Put yourself in their target market. Let’s say your business is web hosting. If you’re in the market for a web host, what things are important to you? Different people will be looking for different benefits but you can bet that they want their website to be accessible to site visitors so reliability will be high on their list. Price is also likely to be high on the list as is 24/7 technical support. What about add-on features such as unlimited email aliases, cgi support and what-not? These things will be highly important to some and less important to others. So focus on the benefits that are likely to be highly relevant to the majority of your target market. Let’s settle for our purposes on reliability, price and technical support.

Your mission statement might read something like this: “I strive to earn a fair return on my investment of time and money by providing affordable webhosting with guaranteed 99% uptime and 24/7 telephone technical support”. That’s a pretty general statement and if you decide to focus on a particular niche of the webhosting market, such as small business, you may want to more narrowly focus on that group in your mission statement.Now that you’ve written your mission statement, you can begin thinking about creating a brand that reinforces and supports your mission. So, getting back to the fundamental questions of who you are, what you do and how you do it, you can now begin to think of your business in these terms. You’re a webhosting provider, you host websites of small businesses and you do that by offering cost-effective webhosting solutions, guaranteed 99% uptime and 24/7 telephone technical support.

When you create your brand, you need to keep the who, what and how firmly in mind but also use the brand to establish your relevance to your target market and build credibility with that market.

Let’s turn now to the nuts and bolts of creating your brand.

=> Describe What You Are Branding

List out your business’s key features and characteristics, your competitive advantages and anything else that sets you apart from your competition.

Using our webhosting example, you’ll focus primarily on the objectives from your mission statement namely, reliable, cost-effective webhosting solutions supported by 24/7 technical support.

=> Identify and Describe Your Target Market

Decide whether you want to target lthe entire webhosting community or only a segment of it such as small business websites. Describe your market.

=> List Names that Suggest the Key Elements from Your Mission Statement

The key elements from your mission statement were reliability, cost-effectiveness and customer service. List names that are suggestive of these elements. Let’s use Reliable Webhosting for our example. (I don’t claim to be a creative genius.)

Don’t limit yourself to real words, though. A coined name with no obvious meaning is a perfectly legitimate name provided it conveys something about your business. You will find coined names easier to trademark and secure domain names for too – a definite plus!

=> List Tag Lines that Reinforce Your Mission Statement

We’ll use: “Outstanding reliability and technical support at a price your small business can afford”. I know, I know. You can do much better, I’m sure.

HOW SHOULD I USE MY BRAND?

=> Create a Logo for Your Brand

Your logo is NOT your brand but your logo should allow your brand to be instantly recognized by those familiar with it. To this extent, your logo helps create and reinforce brand awareness.

The logo you create should be able to be used consistently in a variety of different media. It should be suitable for corporate letterhead and business cards, as well as for your website and corporate signage (if any). You do NOT want a confusing mishmash of logos and banners and heaven knows what else. Everything you produce needs to use the same, consistent style of logo so that, over time, your logo becomes synonymous with your brand. Instant recognition is what you’re going for here, so don’t dilute it by using several different logos for different purposes.

=> Consistent Usage of Company Name, Logo and Tag Line

Going back to our webhosting example, putting the brand name and tagline together, the physical manifestation of your brand will be:

RELIABLE WEBHOSTING Outstanding reliability and technical support at a price your small business can afford.

To establish brand awareness, this branding needs to be used consistently and frequently in everything your produce, whether that be letters to clients, business cards, brochures, quotations, invoices, advertising, promotion, on your website, on the front door of your principal place of business and on your products. And don’t forget to be consistent in your use of color schemes. These can be powerful brand reinforcers.

=> Marketing and Promotion of Your Brand

Once you’ve created your brand, you need to market and promote it, in addition to your products and services. This is how you establish your credibility and relevance to your target market. You can hopefully see why your brand needs to be suggestive of your mission statement. If, at the same time as you’re selling your products and services you also push your brand, your brand becomes synonymous with your products and services. And vice versa.

A properly descriptive brand and high brand awareness amongst your target market will allow you to more easily introduce a wider range of products and services when they’re developed without having to start by again selling who you are, what you do and how you do it first. Your brand has already presold YOU. Your job then is to sell your products and services.

Termed as the new-age marketing venture it is the best way to reach out to your market.

Practically every other famous or rich millionaire is utilizing this to get their share of name and fame and they are enjoying every bit of the attention that they are getting.

Public Relations is defined as a set of management, supervision and technical functions that enables an organization’s ability to strategically implement a mutually beneficial relationship between the concerned members and the organization such that it is successful in achieving it’s objectives. It is considered to be the most effective and promising method to generate a favorable response amongst the common masses and the organization. Public relations are an important management function in any organization. An effective public relations plan for an organization is developed to communicate a message that coincides with organizational goals and seeks to benefit mutual interests whenever possible.

Technically speaking its primary goal is to reach out to it’s stake holders in order to gain the exposure and the reach to maximum people, thereby developing their business prospects and hence the term “Public or Publicity”. In order to achieve this, effective communication and thorough promotion through proper channel is a must. Attending and speaking at conferences and regular interaction with the press and media are certain activities that are undertaken by the Public Relation Agencies. As of today PR agencies in India are no longer in oversight. Given the economic bloom that India is experiencing it is very obvious to assume that any business or money grossing sector could do without a Public Relation Agency or a department of their own. Whether it is corporate or IT, entertainment or media, every other money making mogul will have a PR organization solely for the reason to increase their stakes and that could only be possible by reaching out to the maximum amount of person or public on a whole. All in all you could say ‘Brand Effectiveness’ largely depends on the sort of PR working for them. Today you have Big time celebrities who are going all the way to hire PR agencies to market them to the masses. Right from cinestars, to sports icons, to politicians to party socialites and to even Social workers every one has a PR firm or a personal executive to keep them updated.

Carrying out a PR campaign isn’t that easy, specially with the rovering eye of the media. One has to understand the psyche and activities involved within and around the media with an alert mind. One should always remember public relation is a process of building better and effective relations for the growth of any business. Hence if you are trying to propel your business to a different level all together then it is high time that you hire a dependable PR firm to do that for you. Always remember if you fail to connect with the masses your business is a failure. There are millions who do the same business, how could you beat the competition and prove that you are better depends on the PR agency that you are hiring. After all what finally sells is the brand name isn’t it??.

The visibility, awareness and effectiveness of your organization’s brand directly impact your ability to recruit and retain members. If your organization isn’t the first thing member prospects think of when they turn to industry issues, there’s work to be done.

But where to start?

As popular wisdom has it, knowing and admitting you have a problem puts you half way to solving it. In this case, that means doing a little member research to determine how your members and prospective members view your organization through its brand. This can take one of several forms, including a quick poll on your website, a phone survey, an e-mail or electronic survey, or a paper/mail survey.

Regardless of the format, the recipient list should be equal parts members and prospects, to get both perspectives and spot any disconnects between those that know the organization from the inside versus what the brand alone presents to the outside world. The included questions should be formulated so that the responses returned are actionable, and give you some indication of their perceptions of the brand and the organization behind it, based on their actual experience with you, as customers, as members, as industry participants.

Reading the results in a timely fashion is important, as the cyclic nature of non-profit schedules creates peaks and valleys in the brand perception and awareness level, depending upon what time of the year it is, and how high the level of activity involving members is at the time you launch the survey. For organizations that have even more volatile years, it may be necessary to do two sets of surveys at different times of the year and compare the results to get a good reliable read on the level of awareness you can count on.

The results of your survey are one source of data, but there are other sources that while less formal or quantifiable, are just as valid in getting a read on your brand awareness and effectiveness. These include interviews with Board members, committee members, volunteers, chapter presidents or directors, vendors, other related professionals, including members of related associations, and members of ASAE.

Once all this data is collected, it needs to be interpreted accurately so that the actions you take drive your brand efforts in the most effective direction possible. Some items will be readily apparent if the surveys and interviews were constructed correctly.

One good tool you can use to read your results is to retrieve the set of brand characteristics from the marketing archives, and see how many of your responses line up with those characteristics. If your responses, including the open-ended comments, use some of the terms and attributes that make up your organization’s brand, then you’ve got a good solid start on reading your data correctly and rating a good score on your brand effectiveness.

Conversely, if very few or none of the responses include those attributes on the list, there’s a good chance there’s a disconnect between what you’re trying to convey with your brand, and how it’s being perceived by the various populations it’s designed to serve.

Now that you’ve got a read on how well you’re doing, how do you go about improving? The answer is, much as it’s been overused by too many of us in today’s litigious society – it depends. It depends upon what your data tells you, and every case is different. However there are some common scenarios and a few valuable remedies to match them.

Scenario #1 – Our brand registers very low on the surveys for memorability.

Typically this means that your customer base doesn’t remember your brand in response to a question designed to illicit a favorable response unprompted. Your organization isn’t top of mind for them as relates to your products or services, and someone else’s brand is. That could mean that your exposure frequency is too low, they don’t see enough from you to keep memorability high enough.

It could be that a competitor has captured some key emotional connection to the customer that you have not, despite an inferior product or service – they’re not as good, but customers remember them because they’re “out there” more. This can be remedied with some increase in exposure to key audiences – your top buyers should hear more from you in a positive light to reassure them that you offer the product or services that give the best value.

Putting your brand in front of them for positive reasons, like a price discount, a new offer that really saves money, rebate eligibility or other product or service related reason other than to sell them something should go a long way toward remedying this issue. It will boost memorability without seeming like you’re overselling them, a positive cognitive light that will cement the brand in the uppermost memory of the customer.

Scenario #2 – Our brand rates favorably and has high memory retention among customers, but neither do as well among prospects.

Usually, this indicates that your product or service has to be “seen to be believed” – it’s value is best seen at delivery or in the transaction, rather than prior to receiving it. This is a sticky problem that has to do as much with promotional direction and relevance as anything else. Your customers know you and have experienced your value, been satisfied with the product or service upon and after delivery and the reputation of the brand was reinforced positively.

Prospects, on the other hand, only know you by your “public” face – advertising, packaging, direct marketing, sponsorship associations. The brand unfortunately has little carriage by word of mouth, based on the fact that satisfied customers are not waving your flag and passing on the good word to prospects themselves. Prospects only get a read based on what you tell them.

Look to your research and find those key hot buttons of your best customers, and promote those attributes to prospects more heavily. Also, compare your reading on prospects versus customers in other areas of your brand – you may find another disconnect in their perceptions that could cause this effect, and you can remedy both with a shift in your promotional or creative approach to highlight those key elements more heavily. Align your creative with those highest ranking attributes of your best customers, and the prospects should get the best, most relevant perception of your product.

These are just two of the possible outcomes to this type of analysis. Suffice to say that if you’re brand is aligned with your message and your audience, you’ve got a strong package for success.

Exhibiting at a trade show can help with branding your company. Fundamentally it gives you a platform to spread the news about your company amongst interested show attendees. Trade show marketing is great it provides a venue for face to face target marketing. What other venue allows you to market your directly to your interested consumers.

At the show it is vital that you’re company makes the effort to present your self in a professional manner. You need to set yourself apart from the competition and leave a lasting impression within the show attendee’s minds. Impressions mean a lot you never know when next potential client or an existing customer might come strolling by your trade show display.

Make the effort especially for first time exhibitors to learn about and understand the show you’re exhibiting at. The old saying knowledge is power couldn’t be truer then to a new exhibitor. Exhibiting is hard work and getting any advantage possible on your competition will be pay big dividends in the end.

Make a splash with the use of properly designed trade show displays. A great looking booth will help make your work easier. Your trade show exhibit whether it be a full custom booth or portable trade show display should be welcoming. A great looking display can help attract the show attendees. Not only is professionally designed exhibit display important but so is the literature and promotional materials that is represented within your booth. Literature, promotional materials, and giveaways, allow for brand retention since it gives them something to take from the show and remember your company by.

Remember teaching yourself on trade show selling, show services, and regulation rules will help eliminate conflicts, save money, and provide better returns on your marketing dollars spent.

It’s frustrating isn’t it? Relying on 3rd party surveys to tell you whether or not if ‘the purchase intent’ or ‘recall of a tv ad’ went up a few points. Trust me, you are not alone. In my experience as a media analyst, that is one of the major questions I receive over and over – how did our TV campaign impact brand awareness?

Typically media agencies are not responsible for providing metrics on brand awareness. That doesn’t mean that they should have a pass to go ahead and spend whatever budget they want and not be accountable. A 3rd party firm is typically assigned the task to evaluate media performance results, but as we know, these services are fairly expensive. If you want a quick, quantitative way to measure brand awareness, I suggest you look at Direct Traffic.

What is direct traffic? Direct traffic, also referred to as ‘no referral’ traffic, is a great proxy for brand awareness impact since these are visitors coming to your site solely by typing in the name of your website URL in their web browser. These visitors are NOT relying on a search link (paid nor organic), and are not linking to your site from an online display banner or via another site. Isn’t this lovely? Quantitative evidence to show if your TV campaign is affecting consumers without relying on qualitative survey data or other assumptions about how TV urges consumers to other channels.

There are a few other reasons why you want to track No Referral data:

• Can be a good indication of commercial wear out

• Can help determine the ‘lag time’ of when consumers no longer recall the TV ad after the TV campaign has ended

• Compare one TV campaign against another

• Assess what kind of lift is expected depending on the number of TV GRPs in the marketplace

• Also look to determine if traffic spikes when other offline channels like Radio, Newspaper, Magazine are On-Air

Even when you are not running a TV campaign or other offline media, it is a good way to see if there is any seasonality for your business.

Great, so now you have an easy quantitative way to measure the impact of your TV campaign. Lastly, No Referral traffic may also include visitors coming to your site from your email campaign or any redirect pages which point to your site, where the redirect strips off the referrer. Usually these are very minimal, but still you should clarify with your website administrator what exactly comprises No Referral traffic.

Corporate organisations allocate huge budgets for marketing products. But to be honest, that isn’t enough to push the sales figures. In addition to that, it is also very important to create brand awareness in the market which will make the buyer understand the various features and benefits of a brand. This can only be done by exposing brands in the public eye via advertising. There are multiple ways of creating brand awareness in the market place. Advertisements in news-papers, television, Internet and large size glitzy hoardings in nooks and corners of the city are some of the most popular strategies which are being employed by corporate organisations across the globe for years. The money needed for such brand promotion exercises are generally huge and therefore it is away from the reach of many organisations. These promotional activities have their own limitations which enforce business organisations to look for other methods. One such technique which offers good opportunity to corporate organisations to carry their brand message is distributing promotional products.

Promotional products actually do wonders in creating brand awareness. This is because promotional gifts offer organisations an opportunity to take its various brands to the public. It gives opportunity to companies, especially to start-ups, to get a good foot hold in the market whereas established companies can use it for growth. At times, there are questions being raised on the utility of promotional products and its effective returns. We, at Ideasbynet, believe that even though promotional products may be cost-effective than other promotional methods but they are in no way of lesser effect than others in creating brand awareness and that too for a long time. The recipient will always come across your brand name and the company logo whenever he or she will make use of the product gifted. This will keep the name of the brands alive in the minds of the customers for long time which is great for the business.  Our research shows that promotions through gifts are not only cost-effective but also beneficial in marketing terms than most of the expensive modes of advertisements.

Organisations also print its logo, product list and other information on the promotional items. Printed promotional gifts offer an advantage of building an identity for the company which is very important in the corporate world. Printed promotional products also give an opportunity to business and government organisations to reinforce itself in the customers mind. Even social organisations too use promotional products to create awareness on various social issues.
