Pro tactics: 5 secrets for cool promotional merchandise
- 1
- Start with brand clarity: Use your brand's asset library as a design guide. Upload high-resolution logos and be specific about your exact brand color. This clarity ensures brand consistency and saves you hours on revision and corrections, while improving brand recognition. 2
- Design for your audience: When designing your merch, keep your audience in mind. The designs should align with your recipients' demographics. Are you creating promotional kits for a tech conference? Your kit should include charging cables, laptop stickers, or wireless accessories that will appeal to attendees. 3
- Consider practical use: The items that promote your brand best are the ones that are useful in everyday life, rather than those that just sit pretty on a shelf or tucked away in a box somewhere. Items like tote bags, water bottles, pens, notebooks, mugs, and phone accessories are great examples of merchandise that are used in daily routines. Getting these functional items will help your brand gather more exposure. 4
- Plan seasonal campaigns early: Since manufacturers would need a couple of weeks to bring those designs to life, it is essential to start planning early. Create multiple designs, plan campaigns, and engage your vendors or manufacturers. 5
- Generate multiple variations: You should create multiple design concepts and run a marketing test to confirm which design captures more attention before moving to large-scale production. Experiment with various color schemes, logo placement, and font styles, and gather feedback from focus groups and stakeholders.
