    Keep your target audience in mind<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Figuring out your target audience is an incredibly important step in developing your marketing strategy. Yes, we believe your custom promotional products are a part of that strategy! If you are not in your company\u2019s marketing department, you may want to reach out to that team for some input on this step! They might be able to give you some valuable insight into who the company is trying to reach and how. If you ARE the marketing department, here are some questions to ask yourself about your target audience:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Is this audience potential clients? If so, what first impression do I want to make? (See below for some pointers on this, and tune in next month for more!)<\/li>\n
    2. Is this audience existing clients? If so, what am I communicating with them? A new product launch? That I\u2019m thinking about them while we\u2019re socially distant?<\/li>\n
    3. Is this audience my own employees (existing or incoming)? What might they appreciate from the company that they could keep as a memento or display in their workspace?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\"Custom\n

      Represent your brand appropriately <\/strong><\/p>\n

      This step is an important one, too. Not just any company can get away with a talking, laughing squeezable head. But kudos to those who can! While we love our vibrating and sound making custom squeeze balls<\/a>, if your brand is generally conservative or formal, a simple but functional cell phone holder<\/a> stress reliever might be more in line with your image.<\/p>\n

      Remember your existing audience<\/strong><\/p>\n

      It can be easy to get wrapped up in marketing to potential clients and forget to show appreciation for existing customers and supporters. Don\u2019t miss an easy opportunity to encourage brand loyalty repeat business! Sending a promotional product to existing clients lets them know they are not just a number to you; it lets them know you remember they are a person. It\u2019s a small gesture that goes a long way.<\/p>\n

      Treat your own people<\/strong><\/p>\n

      These small gestures are just as significant with your own employees! Especially if you run a business that can\u2019t offer commissions or bonuses, sending branded promotional products to your own people is a touching way to remind them you care and appreciate everything they contribute to the team every day. With many of our custom products, you can add a special message in addition to your logo and branding that expresses your appreciation every time they look at the item.<\/p>\n\"Custom\n

      Connect on an emotional level<\/strong><\/p>\n

      No matter your audience, try to connect on an emotional level. We humans are emotional beings. How we feel influences our buying and purchasing habits more than just about anything. Don\u2019t believe us? Here\u2019s the science! According to CXL<\/a>, \u201cUntil fairly recently, many fields of study (notably economics) believed that our decisions were largely rational. However, neuromarketing as a field has suggested that the old brain, the old primitive \u2018fight or flight\u2019 part, makes most of our decisions.\u201d So whether it\u2019s sending superhero-shaped squishes that read \u201cThank You\u201d to all the nurses, doctors and staff at the hospital you want to buy your database software or handing out squeezable mascots at your college or university\u2019s next open house or recruitment fair, find a way to get emotions involved!<\/p>\n

      Since we can\u2019t touch hands, touch hearts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Right now, in the spring of 2020, the world finds itself in a strange situation. We can\u2019t socialize in person. We can\u2019t bond physically at events. We have to find new ways to connect. For the time being, your promotional products can do that for you at a distance! And as we\u2019ve mentioned before, you can slip a disinfecting wipe into your envelope or package if you mail your custom stress ball, just to be super safe and let your target audience know you really do have their best interests\u2014and health\u2014 in mind.<\/p>\n

      Then, when we can once again gather in crowds and shake hands, your promotional products (primed for emotional connection with forethought on your audience and brand image) will only strengthen that first impression you make with your smile and winning personality!<\/p>\n

      As we move forward into an uncertain 2020, 1001Stressballs.com<\/a> wants to assure you that we are here to serve. Call, email, post, or send a carrier pigeon\u2014just reach out. We\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n
