9 Worst Promotional Products

August 26, 2014 By Tim Somers Leave a Comment

Chances are you have received a promotional product that you really liked and found useful, though it is more likely that you have received more lame freebies than useful cool ones. When deciding on purchasing promo items for your business focus on the ones you have received that YOU liked, how did those make you feel about the person that gave them to you and more importantly how you feel about the company whose logo is printed on the promotional item?

Promotional Products

Just slapping your logo on any old item is a waste of money without question, but the real damage is how you make the recipient feel when you give a cheesy give-a-way to them. If the recipient is a client that spends a significant amount of money with your company a Forty Cent Pen that writes like crap is not going to make them feel appreciated. That same Forty Cent Pen given away at a expo with business cards that you printed from your own printer (you know the ones they have the perforated edges) will send a message to everyone that walks away from your booth – why would I ever do business with a company that gives away such junk and has a terribly cheap business card.

Promotional Products are intended to serve as reminders of you and the services that you provide; they can be very powerful and effective elements of your overall marketing program – but you can’t go cheap and lame. You need to provide freebies that are consistent with your brand; that remind clients and contacts of the great product or service that you deliver. If the products are really unique, clients and contacts will share them with others and also talk about you and how good you are…unsolicited third party endorsements are gold.

Here are 9 of the Worst Promotional Products…do NOT put your logo on these EVER!

 

To Your Success!

Tracy Hill is wonderful, and is a great resource for all business owners. Tracy helped me get Style Books with my logo embossed on them, and I couldn't be happier with them. She worked with me and the vendor to make sure everything was perfect. Her customer service and follow-up was wonderful. I would highly recommend working with Tracy to any business owner needing marketing materials/promotional products!

Tim: Just like when one of my gift baskets arrives and you're so excited when you open the box and you're seeing something magical for the first time--that's how I felt when I saw those magnets. You did a fabulous job!

Mary Lewinski, Extra Special Baskets    Website   

I would like to thank Tracy Hill for a fantastic job. I had a huge networking event fast approaching and I needed promotional items for my vendor table. Tracy was able to recommend several options and cleaver ideas. We were able to place my order and I received the items in time for my event. I ordered pens and they look amazing.

I would highly recommend Bizarre Marketing and I would definitely recommend Tracy, she is the BEST!

I am so happy with my pens and business cards. I was like a kid in a candy store when I saw my pens (pink no doubt). My business cards are amazing - I finally got official cards with my logo, no more generic cards (they served their purpose). Tracy Hill was my representative and she is the absolute BEST! She helped me with ideas for an upcoming event and ensured everything would arrive on time for event.

Valerie Priester - Victorious Life Coaching    Website   

Thank you Tracy for helping me with our health fair. The Large insulated bags were a hit and are of very high quality. The pin wheels with our name on the handle were a hit as well with the children and the parents.
