When choosing a decoration method for your promotional product you want the freedom of choice. Your imprint may require anything from a simple clean, crisp single spot color to a high-fidelity, full spectrum digital color treatment. It may even call for something special, like laser engraving, debossing, a complete wraparound or even a fully sublimated imprint. With this range of options your creative freedom is totally unlocked, restricted only by your imagination.
But making an impression with your promotional product is all about your intent. What’s your brand’s voice? What are you trying to say about yourself with your promotional product? How does it fit your overall brand or campaign narrative?
It can be a lot to consider, so here are some simple guidelines to finding the perfect product/imprint match for your brand.
My brand is bigger than life – we make a big impression on all those who experience it.
Suggested approach: full color, large format imprint for maximum visual impact
Full dye-sublimated table covers; short of a highway billboard there's no bigger, louder impression you can make!Speaking of loud, how about a fully custom wrapped branding experience, like these incredible speakers? If you want to shout your brand from the rooftop, this is the way to do it.
Another big impact option? Put your brand in their hands using dye-sublimated coolies. These vary in size, all the way up to this 5 gallon water jug.Other options to consider:
My brand is elegant – people know we’re best-in-class as soon as they see our logo
Suggested approach: the timeless, classic appeal of engraving
The sophisticated look of an engraved metal pen never loses its appeal. Best yet, it's one of the most cost effective solutions out there, especially when you consider the spend-per-repeated-impressions statistics.
My brand is warm and friendly – we make a personal connection with all our fans
Suggested approach: use personalization to put their name next to your brand
Remember that products with 1 piece minimums can also be considered as a means to personalization, as each one can have its own artwork design. Perfect for those small group personalized projects.
