Trinkets & Small Items
Give a fan or potential client something for free and you may have them on the hook. Brand or shall we call it "BAND Recognition" is sought by all and if done right, can be successfully accomplished. Amongst the numerous ways to gain brand recognition, promo products/trinkets just happen to be on the top of the list. Trinkets can include everything from water bottles to key chains and koozies branded with your logo or design. It's a system which definitely works, so give a little to gain a lot!
With that being said, have you been building your brand recognition? If not, it's time you got started. Promo products should be an essential part of your branding efforts. Your goals are achievable because there isn't a soul alive who doesn't love getting something for free, even if it's a small something. Paired with other marketing efforts you're guaranteed the best results. Look at it this way, your promo products pass from one consumer with knowledge about you to another consumer without knowledge of your brand. It's like a chain reaction where both have found it beneficial.
