Winters are synonymous with frosty mornings, steaming cup of hot chocolate, cosy blankets and fancy balaclavas. When temperatures drop below zero, all one wants to do is stay indoors, curl up in the bed and wrap inside a cosy blanket. When people do not like to venture out very frequently, how do marketers connect with prospective customers? Does that mean your marketing campaigns should also go for a winter break? Obviously not. Promotional products are a good way to keep reminding the customers about your company.

You can choose a relevant and useful promotional product that the customers would keep at home and use them regularly. The best part of a promotional product is they are tangible, physical things which can be placed in your customer’s homes and are always visible to them. Your name branded on the product serves as a good reminder to them to keep coming back to you for purchase.

Some of the ways you can ensure your promotional product really serves the purpose of your marketing campaign are by making sure:

• It is relevant: It is a good idea to gift a winter-related promotional product during the season. This way your customers will actually use the branded product and remember you for it.
• It is of good quality: Your choice of the product can depend on your budget but the quality of it should not be compromised. Even if you gift a very small thing, make sure it is of the best quality.
• It reaches the right target audience: Just mindlessly distributing freebies is not a good idea. Every gift has a cost associated with it and more importantly is bought for a purpose. Give it to the right prospect. This will increase your chance of a conversion.
