We are very hands on at ThinkQuik. Our customers come to us because of the considerations we raise and the questions we ask. We’re a part of the marketing team for many of our clients because we bring expertise in selecting a promotional product that you can’t get from a catalog.
Plus there’s always that guess work when you order something site unseen from a catalog. You hold your breath and hope it’s everything you’ve envisioned. Sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes you waste your marketing budget.
Not the case when you work with us. Here are some of the questions we bring up with our clients when we’re helping them narrow down promotional product choices. The italicized words could be any product:
How Big/Intricate Is Your Logo?
Often we see customers who want to squish a very intricate logo into a small space. Large, busy logos just don’t work well on the face of a small stress ball.
Who Is Your Customer?
We’re not being nosy. We just want to make sure we help you select something your ideal customer will find useful and enjoy.
Does this Imprinted Pen Represent Your Business Well?
You don’t always want to buy the cheapest item out there. An item that breaks quickly gives the wrong impression of your business. Another way to look at it is to ensure your promotional product fits the mission or culture of your company. If sustainability is important to you, you want that reflected in your green promotional product.
How Long Do You Plan on Using This Customized Golf Ball?
Some companies want a promotional product that they can give away for years; others have one event in mind and want to use the entire quantity. Since we know you want to impress your boss with the money you didn’t spend (coming in under budget is always a feather in the cap), there are sometimes discounts we can give either on large quantities or on clearance items. The only thing with a clearance item is that when it’s gone, that’s it. You can’t reorder. Knowing how long you want to use something helps us get you the best price possible.
What is Your Event?
Events shape what kinds of items are given. Large plaques or employee awards should not be given at national conventions or trade shows. Attendees’ luggage space is at a premium. Printed tote bags, on the other hand, are extremely popular because they fold nicely, fit into small spaces, and can be used to carry all the other things they get.
When you select ThinkQuik as your promotional partner we bring you years of promotional product experience. We know the questions to ask to make your item or event one of the best of the year. Don’t go it alone leafing through a catalog. We can help. That’s what we’re here for.
