Here are 5 things to consider when choosing a company give away:

1.) Who is your audience?  Choose a product that speaks to your target recipient.  A printed piggy bank may work for a bank give away but not necessarily for a baseball game.

2.) What is your budget?  Consider if you can afford to give an item to each individual or if one high profile giveaway will suit your check book.  Be careful about what you choose though, don’t just purchase 5,000 pens at a great price- remember who your audience is.

3.) What is your marketing goal?  You may be trying to brand your company, launch a new product, or direct customers to your website.  The product you choose needs to clearly reflect this goal.

4.) What is the rate of Return on Investment (ROI)?   At trade shows particularly, you have to be careful of giving something away that will attract the masses (i.e. edible goodies that have printed wrappers; the wrapper is quickly peeled off and thrown away with no memory of the company that gave them) with no return.  You want a giveaway that is going to turn prospects into customers. People should walk away from your booth knowing who the giveaway was from, and alternatively you should gain information too. Create a drawing for a free new computer giveaway or collect business cards in exchange for a printed compressed tee shirt.

5.) Is the giveaway memorable?  Consider all the above points when choosing your product give away but most importantly make the product something that will be remembered by your target audience.  You want the recipients of your product to go home and connect the product you gave them to your company and your marketing message.  To accomplish this select something that has sustainability and value.

In the hustle and bustle of daily business, we often forget about basic customer necessities.  While we are so busy organizing, promoting, branding, and budgeting we neglect customer service.  Simply answering the phone or responding to an email gives the consumer confidence in your company.  I just heard from a client the other day that she was ignored by other vendors she had contacted.  Ignored?  That is like throwing away business. 

It is time that we remember why we opened our doors in the first place-To serve the consumer.  

We at Tee Compressed have made customer service our #1 priority.  If you request a quote either by phone or email we will respond same business day.  It is that simple.  We will get you the information you need so that you can carry on with your business and get back to serving your customers.

Like little soldiers, promotional products spread out in force to do the marketing for you.

These products increase the visibility of your business without you personally being there to promote it. There are many products to consider.

We, of course, support the purchase of apparel because it is a walking billboard for your company. Rather than the product simply sitting on your desk or attached to your keys, apparel gets broader exposure in public forums. A person wearing your company logo to a baseball game will draw attention. And, will most likely attract clientele and bring in new business.

Ultimately, you have to find the right product that will tie in with your marketing message. Whether you decide on a pen, or a pennant just make sure that it sends the right message, the message that best represents your branding theme.  And, get those products out there!

We at Tee Compressed are here to help you create your branding message through the compressed t-shirt, screen printed t-shirt, or the new writable tee. Contact us for ideas!

This is your promotional product and Tee Compressed working for you.

The chip without salsa, the burger without cheese, the screen printed t-shirt without compression… What do these have in common? They are missing their Zest.

Of course you can get by eating the chip sans the salsa, and the burger without melted cheese but isn’t the burger better with cheddar? YES!

Accordingly the screen printed t-shirt has far more impact when it’s compressed!

And, don’t think there is only one way to serve up the compressed t-shirt.

The basic components do remain the same. We take a 100% cotton t-shirt, add screen printing, and finally compress it with a full color insert card.

But, you can spice up the compressed t-shirt custom for your promotion! Make the paper insert card into a magnet. Once open there is a screen printed shirt and a magnet.

Use the compressed t-shirt for your product launch. By replicating your new product, you can put something into the hands of your recipient that they are sure to remember.

Check out the shapes gallery for shapes ideas or call 877-932-7489 and a rep will help you personalize your promotion.  Add flavor to your basic tee.
