How to Select a Promotional Mug for Your Next Advertising Campaign
Category: Advertising Campaign | Oct 24, 2009 |
Make your business stand out with promotional items. If you are searching for an innovative way to market your business and get the attention of your target market, promotional advertising is the smart solution. You can take advantage of long-term advertising exposure that will give your company superior brand recognition in the marketplace while simultaneously achieving a number of your marketing goals. When you invest in a promotional item like a branded mug, your business wins. However, your business needs to learn how to select a promotional mug for your next advertising campaign that will help you to achieve your specific goals.
Do you want to be seen as an innovator in your field or would you rather your target market associated you as a way to get the same products and services for less? Do you want to appeal to an older market or are you going after the younger crowd? Depending on your target market, you can determine which style of promotional mugs will fit your business best.
There is an astounding array of different promotional mugs that your business can invest in for your marketing campaign. Different mugs will attract different clientele and send a unique message to your potential customers. For example, you can find earthenware mugs that are more natural, environmentally-sound and depict a company that is in touch with nature and the Great Outdoors. On the other hand, you can find plastic mugs that hold up well to the rough-and-tumble lifestyle of new parents who are chasing after toddlers. For customers always traveling and on-the-go, look for travel mugs that keep their favourite beverages hot. The style of mug that your business selects will have plenty of room for its logo and message, but each are good choices for different companies who have different target markets and messages that they wish to convey.
Selecting the right promotional mug depends both on your target market and what you want to say as a company. If you pride yourself on being “green,” distributing a plastic mug might not be the best decision. If your company wants to present itself as a fresh, trendy and upbeat alternative to the competition, you can search for novelty mugs like beer pilsners or champagne glassware to make your company stand out. The choices are endless, but the possibility for marketing success is just one promotional mug away.

It's doesn't matter what the "rule of thumb" is. Don't look toward averages — you are not running an average business.
Probably 90% to 95% of radio advertising is not tracked at all. You've moved past those folks by providing a trackable "discount keyword," although it's quite a challenge for most folks to remember both a URL and a discount keyword (both must be very memorable, and of course the discount code might be "radio" or the 4-letter radio-station name). (Keep in mind that someone might enter that discount code into an online "coupon and deals" web site, which can gunk your data somewhat.)
Radio is NOT a traditional "direct marketing" advertising tool, because it's so hard to track. Instead, radio and TV are usually used for "branding," where results are much harder to measure (but they can be measured, though not with anything near the precision of a Google AdWords campaign).
Keep in mind that most radio advertising is "local," promoting a local business, and there is a combined "direct response" and "branding" effect from radio advertising. A radio ad creates awareness of the business, which might not be acted upon for many weeks or months.
You should actually IGNORE what other folks are doing. Look instead at your own profit requirements. If you are spending $100 per day on the radio advertising, then the radio ads should be driving customers who buy enough that you earn back more than $100 in gross profit.
You could buy a Zune, then again you could also drown a kitten. Buy an iPod, save the kittens.
Yep its a joint venture….
Joint venture in advertising (JVA) means that two or three companies promote their products in cooperation. Mostly, such cooperation is set up between a manufacturing company and wholesalers or retailers. It allows national advertising companies to advertise in regional Media, where the rates are lower than in the national one. Such kind of advertising is very popular. An average amount of funds, spent for the joint venture advertising, reaches approximately thirty billion dollars. Moreover, the JVA is an effective tool to motivate sales locally.
In most cases, a local wholesaler or retailer, that is, a shop, a store or a warehouse gives the advertisement. They give the ad in local Media for local prices, but the manufacturer pays this advertisement, as a rule, sometimes, in full. The manufacturer makes most of all, the ad's message or a trailer as well. It only includes a logo or name of the retailer. In this way, a large advertising company protects its image and controls the advertising process.
The Joint advertising is beneficial for all its participants: the manufacturer, the merchants and the Media.
Such corporate advertising, due to the lower prices for using local Media, allows national advertisers to use their marketing budget in a more favorable way. These companies pay up to one hundred percent of the advertising expenses, or they may remunerate them according to the sales level of the local retailer. Moreover, the JVA helps improving the image and relationship between the manufacturer and merchants.
The Merchants find their profit in the JVA, since it helps substantially to save funds on the advertising and increase its sales volume and, consequently, consumers' awareness of their trade network. The Media welcomes the JVA, as they find new customers and have more income from the local advertisers.
The JVA may be carried out in the form of sales motivation and event marketing locally. The shops may conduct campaigns with discount coupons or gifts from the brands. Furthermore, a shop may organize a party, concert or competition, sponsored by the companies that manufacture the prize products. For instance, if the event is a beach party, then the sponsors will be swimming suits, UV protection lotions or sunglasses manufacturers. Such events are called trade programs.
Another kind of the JVA is the corporate advertising of the manufacturer, the company that produces its ingredients and their merchants. The corporate ad may be given in any kind of Media, but most of it goes to the newspapers.
Moreover, it also may be the joint advertising of large manufacturers and wholesalers. It is carried out in the case, when the manufacturers do not associate with retailers but only with the wholesalers. However, manufacturing companies are not likely to use this corporate advertising with wholesalers, since they cannot control it and their reputation may be threatened.
The JVA offers advertisers a big variety of opportunities. The main issue is to control its implementation and quality in order to reflect the general advertising image of the product and the company.
Well the DECA is international, so yes, I guess it would be just fine.

Dear Clint,
I would like to respond this in two cats:
1 If you are an independent publisher
2 If you are approaching a publisher of repute.
For self publishing, it depend eds, which cat is your title. Trade books, Academic, General book.Fiction and non -fiction etc.
Is this your FIRST book?
I suggest you join an association in your location.( Booksellers/Publishers?/etc)
Start with a MAILER
The promote the same with e-mailing. ( offer a pre publication offer of 10% discount)
Contact all the retailers in your area and request them a poster space. and then a display space.
Join a Book club- request them to Discuss about the book on a week end.
Send few FREE copies to News papers, Magazines who feature NEW book information.
Send mailers to all libraries via mailer.
Have enough budget for a "release" function in a good hall, invite about 500 persons, SELL the book at a discount!
However, if you are offering the book to any publishers they will assit you in promoting the same.
Now a days globally it is all author backed promotion.
All the best!

To start with, I'm a professional with 35 years experience in advertising.
If I understand you, you already have an ad campaign. Now you need to make convincing arguements as to why and how it will be effective. Assuming this is correct, you simply have to show a statistical data summary of the following:
1. How many people the ad will reach and be seen by
2. Why the ad helps sell the product or service, by showing a feature or benefit.
3. How you will track the results
4. How cost-effective the ad is
5. Why people will like the ad
6. Why people will buy the product
7. If the ad fails, what you plan to do next.
Good luck.

yes, my management prof was just talking about this!
Gerber. In the US, literacy rate is high and we all know that Gerber is baby food. Well, they tried to extend their sales to Africa and no one in Africa bought the food. (I think he said South Africa, but I could be wrong) Turns out that people thought that Gerber was canned babies because of the cute little picture. Africa has a low literacy rate so on most foods there are no words, but pictures to describe what you are getting. Gerber had to take the baby off of the label in order for people to understand that it was baby food and they weren't eating babies.
