Read An Opinion On:
By Matt Franks
Many individuals have this misconception that a promotional item is something that you wear or you write with. When a company is giving away items they expect that those items are going to be ink pens, pencils, and t-shirts. Although all of those things are nice, it sometimes takes something with a bit of edge to get the attention of current and potential customers. In this case, promotional knives are the way in which you can really get customers to walk through your door and ring your phone.
Thats really the goal isnt it? To get customers to walk through your door and ring your phone. Many times, to do that you have to be really creative in how you go about it and that creativity comes in the form of how youre going to market your business. Lets face it, marketing can be tricky, but it can be a lot of fun because of the creativity.
Why promotional knives?
Promotional knives are a great promotional item because they can be bought in bulk at affordable prices and have your logo and contact information printed on them. People love free knives since it is hard to find a good quality knife without paying a fortune, so they will take something that is free. You then have the satisfaction of knowing your investment is worth it because people use knives every single day. When they use the promotional knife that they received from you, they will be reminded of your company every single time they cut something.
Being reminded of your business is great when that person needs something that you have. If they need it, they will be reminded of you and they will buy from you the first opportunity they have. Now just imagine not having promotional knives to give out. Just imagine not having anything to give at all. You would be guaranteed to have fewer sales because your marketing opportunities would be significantly reduced and that is definitely something you do not want.
Just imagine a world without promotion at all. That is a horrible thing to think about because so many consumers would not know about the existence of a business or organization such as yours. That would be bad news for the economy and bad news for those needing what you have to offer and not being able to find it because they have no idea you exist.
A bit of difference
So no, you cant wear promotional knives. You cant write with them and you cant play with them. However, you can definitely use them. No one gets a knife for free and puts it away in a drawer somewhere. First of all, thats dangerous and, second of all, where else is someone going to get a free knife? People take them home and put them with the rest of their knives instead of an obscure location that will cause others to become injured. Knowing that these consumers will put their promotional knives with the rest of their knives, you know that theyre going to use them and be exposed to your business because of it.
