Promotional Products-A Salesman's Greatest Tools

The easiest way to make people remember you is by giving them a little something. You will find that this methodology works well for people that are in business to business sales. Usually you won't get buyers on your first visit to an office, so it makes sense to some things there for the people to keep that have the company logo on them. This leaves them with a way that they can remember what company you work for and what you have to offer.

If you are calling on an office for the first time you will definitely want to have some goodies with you to leave with the people in the part of the company that you will deal with. Generally it will either be one person or one department that is in charge of supplies and the accounts where they order from. This is where you want to be leaving your goodies. You can have something special for the person in charge and then some less expensive promotional items for the others that are nearby.

These items work so well because they stay in the office and because they have your company logo on them, they serve as a great reminder to people. They might not order something from you immediately but having those logos floating around the office is a good way to generate interest. They don't have to be expensive items that you are giving away. Just the fact that you have your logo and business info on something that is in view will sometimes be enough.

It is helpful if you buy certain types of items for this. You will do well to get things that people need. If they need them then they will keep them and that is where you will get your exposure. For an office setting you could give out colorful pads of sticky notes. These will get used a lot and every time someone goes to stick something your logo will be right there. There are many office supplies that can be customized with your logo and will get you the sales that you need.

It is also smart to use products that relate to your business when you can. For instance if you sell computer related services then you will want people to be reminded of your business while they are using their computers. A mouse mat will work great for this, as well as promotional USB drives. If most of your sales come from people that work in offices you can even give them pretty promo coffee mugs. That way when they are enjoying their coffee, they will think of your business.
