When it comes to enhancing brand recognition, promotional products make a big impact. As one of the most cost-effective branded products, promotional t-shirts offer a bang for a company's investment dollar! Here are some of the best ways to make them work for your business:
1) Social media giveaways
This is a great way to promote engagement, while enhancing your social media marketing campaign. Host a t-shirt giveaway on multiple channels, including Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Ask people to comment, like, and share your message for an opportunity to win custom T-shirts with your company logo.
2) Survey incentives
Modern customers aren't very enthusiastic about filling out online surveys. Sweeten the deal by offering custom t-shirts with a cool or quirky saying. You can give one away to every person who completes a survey, or you could offer a drawing for survey participants with a classy customized polo shirt as the prize.
3) Bonus gifts
Include promotional t-shirts or polo shirts with high-end products. People love freebies, and they may be more likely to buy an item if they get a little something extra.
4) Hold a drawing
Having trouble collecting addresses for your email marketing campaign? Inspire better engagement by holding a drawing for some promotional t-shirts. As an eligibility requirement, ask potential customers to submit their names and email addresses. This can lead to better long-term engagement that could result in more profitable leads.
5) Visit trade shows
Trade shows provide multiple ways for you to leverage promotional tees. Unless the event has a strict dress code policy, make sure you and your staff wear custom t-shirts with your brand logo proudly displayed. Consider giving away promotional tees by themselves or as part of a gift bag. Be sure to include your website address on the t-shirts, especially if your business transacts via a web platform.
6) Sponsor an event
When they sponsor events, companies often receive positive press about their philanthropic efforts. These gatherings also provide a great opportunity to hand out custom t-shirts to participants and guests. Whether it's a 5K run, a little league baseball tournament, or a local charity event, these gatherings are great for engaging with potential customers and the community at large.
