Getting a new client or customer’s attention is one thing, keeping their attention is another.  Part of doing a booth at a tradeshow or event is capturing the attendees attention.  When they walk by your booth, do they see you standing up, smiling, being open for business or do they see you munching on a sandwich, hunkered down with your face in a book?  Standing up increases your energy level right away and refrain from eating in your booth area.  You are renting that space for the day or days so don’t squander the time you could be interacting with potential customers.  Do you have something interesting to hand out as they stop by to inquire.  Business cards are a must but if you have something they will remember, you have won part of the battle.  Everyone else is vying for their attention as well.  A well thought out item, interesting, bright, useful and affordable for you to hand out in volume, can pay for itself over and over.  Basically you want to be in one of 3 places in a person’s life, where they spend the most time…their desk, their car or on their refrigerator…what does that mean?  Think real estate, their desk is like land.  If you can give something that they think is desktop worthy, a great coaster, a handy, colorful mousepad, a great mug or computer calendar, those will keep your name in front of them all the time they are at their desk.  In their car, an auto mug, an air freshener, either hanging or one that goes in air conditioner slots, a CD sleeve that goes on the visor…and their refrigerator, think magnets or magnet frames.  Average person spends their time in one of those 3 areas so think what can you give to keep your name out there.

Here’s a handy new item that might create that attention.  It is a clip that attaches to the handle of a grocery basket and holds grocery list and coupons.  Small, colorful, decent size imprint area, easy to keep in purse or pocket…2.00 ea for 250, 1.67 for 500 or 1.50 at 1000, lower costs for even higher qtys.  Set up is 50.00  Item # 040340.

Recently after meeting with a longtime business acquaintance, he mentioned that he likes to give a small plain tablet and a pen to his clients to thank them.  They spend hundreds of dollars a year and his acknowledgement is less than a dollar…that’s budget friendly but there’s a way he could stand out to his customers.  Full color tablets cost only pennies more and would be useful.  Same with the pens, anyone can give a cheap, blank pen but one with your logo or contact information helps keep your name circulating.  Why be in business if you don’t want referrals?  Are you doing a tradeshow or attending a networking event and need something to get remembered by the attendees?  Each time your recipient writes a note to a co-worker, teacher, milkman or any other person they drop a note to, your information can be in the recipient’s hands.  Twenty five sheet tablets are 3-1/2″ w x 8-1/2″ h and can be mailed in a regular business envelope or tucked in a folder or dropped in a tradeshow bag.  Can be lined or have graph, full color graphics.  You choose what goes on the tablets…and it’s no additional for the full color.

Min is 500 tablets at 45 cents, 1000 tablets 30 cents ea, 2000 28.3 cents ea, 5000 26 cents ea.  Tax and shipping additional.  Order yours today!

Capture their attention with full color tablets

Time to start thinking about what you will hand out at your trade show booth in 2010.  You want something people will keep, use and remember where they got it.  Pens are very popular items to hand out.  They come in all kinds of price points so there’s a pen for everyone’s budget.  A nice pen that someone uses every day can make a great marketing tool at a trade show or networking event.  Industry experts say that the average pen has 7 owners.  People pick a pen up here, leave it as they sign a receipt or write a note, the next person picks it up and does the same and so on.  The person you originally handed it to may not be the eventual one who keeps it so make sure your contact information is on the pen as well as what you do if it’s not obvious from the name.  Good pens make great silent marketing partners. Time and again people report they got referrals from someone saying, “I have a pen and here’s the name of a plumber, attorney, etc.”   Lastly, why wait until just before the trade show or event, order your items today and you will be set when the event rolls around.
