Promotional Merchandise is a great way to attract crowds to an event. They are low in cost and provide something that is more permanent than simply brochures and business cards which are more often than not thrown out. (sometimes directly outside of the venue). A promotional merchandise which is either fun or functional or both will be kept and will provide you with a valuable 2nd opportunity down the track to attract that customer. Its useful then to be strategic about placement of promotional merchandise. A good idea would be to place promotional merchandise where you can provide maximum visibility to ensure crowds get drawn to you. However they must also be placed in a location where “freeloaders,” simply cannot take and leave. Why? Well if they leave the moment they receive something chances are 1 of several things:

a) They were never your target customer in the first place as they simply wanted freebies
b) They are not given a chance to interact with your staff
c)

All consumer products eventually get a little worn over time. Shirts can fade with multiple washes whilst products like stationary will get a little stained in time. The same happens to promotional items too. With certain products some tend to age a bit more quicker than others. If you select merchandise with care though you can prolong your merchandise and have them look in top shape for longer. Here are some tips on what colour and product combinations work best to ensure that your team and your marketing products stay in good shape over time.

Corporate Clothing:
- Cool dry clothing tends to retain its colour very well compared to cotton. The softer "floppier,"nature of cool dry material also means that its overall shape and structure is kept better than cotton shirts.
- Avoid Black colors if possible unless your event is only over a couple of days. Black fades very quickly in the wash making it look old very quickly.
- White Shirts will get underarm stains over time!

Banners are a must have item for any event. Why? Well they serve many purposes other than just add ambiance. Promotional event banners are typically the first visual item that a potential customer or passerby will see. You may be in a tradeshow hall or in a public outdoor setting, a banner will be the first thing a person sees and whether that person may decide to explore and participate in your event will make a difference between a successful or unsuccessful event. The design of a banner is quite important and it is very tempting to overload a banner with all the information and text that you want to convey about your product, company or service. The best advice is to keep things very very simple.

1. Keep banner design simple.
2. Choose easy-to-read fonts.
3. Prioritise key areas for placement.
