Black Friday is still a few months away, but if you’re like most retail stores you are heavy into planning for this large 4th quarter event. Counting online sales, every year the day after Thanksgiving gets bigger and bigger. The issue for marketers usually isn’t coming up with good sales and good marketing tactics to get people in the door, but instead – how can they get a new customer for life out of this? Or an even better question – how can they win over someone who previously had a bad experience with us?

 Shopping will get hectic during Black Friday 2013

 Your low prices during this time period will help a lot, but one of the best ways to advertise your brand is to give away promo items and gifts branded with your businesses logo. This will not only make the customers happy, but it can also do a bunch of other “domino effect” type marketing tactics. For example, if you only give the promotional gift to the first 250 buyers than this can be a way to get people in the door early (so they spend money with you and not your competitors).

 Best Promotional Gift Ideas for Stores

 Custom Drawstring Bags

 Instead of using the same old plastic or paper bag for people, use a re-useable drawstring bag that has your brands logo on it. You can also include more gifts in each bag such as a keychain or sticker. This can be a powerful way to get your brand to shine far beyond the black Friday event (people will take it to the gym, use it to carry books during college, etc).

 Branded Tumblers

 As we become more and more health conscious as a society, so must our brands. We offer a ton of different custom tumbler options – some great for simple drinks like coffee or water and some that are very unique like our fruit tumbler. Our branded fruit fusion tumblers can be customized with your logo and have a area to put fresh fruit to make water flavored. A very unique type of tumbler that will go over well with anyone who is focusing on their health.

 Free Coffee w/ Branded Cups or Tumblers

 People on black Friday will be EXHAUSTED. They will be staying out till ungodly late time, getting up way to early and still hung-over on thanksgiving turkey. Setting up a little coffee stand with cups that have your brands logo is possibly the best way to win people over that don’t even normally shop at your store. The fact that the cups or tumblers will have your logo on them ensures that your brand will be shown all over the mall or shopping center. On a day when people have such a short attention span – this is a big deal! You can buy customized cups from us in bulk at wholesale pricing. Give us a call at 1-877-287-9287 to learn more.

 
Vinyl Stickers

An inexpensive gift to give your customers during the holiday season is a cool bumpers sticker or smaller sticker that can put on their laptops. This promotional item will be easy to design and also easy for your employees to give out. If you think of something really creative than your customers will throw it on their car in a heartbeat! It’s best to come up with something simple around your brand. The more complicated the design, the less likely people will use it.
