A Picnic And Some Advertising

The first thing that comes to mind when approached about a new advertising scheme is the concern over how much it will cost. That is a smart way to think right now. you have to spend less and do more to get ahead instead of deeper in debt. Advertising is so very ephemeral. You need something with substance. People hear and see so many adds all day long. If you put something in their hands then they have an actual item that they will remember you by. This is getting down to basics for sure. You will spend less because promotional products are cheaper than other types of ads. You will work more though because now is the time to get out and reach the community.

An outdoor promotion will put you together with people at their most relaxed. It can be a multi-business fair or you can do something small to start. You may only need to get a few employees together and set up a booth at the park or beach. Now you want it to look good, so make sure you have some nice big promotional umbrellas set up to attract people and you won't need a sign really because you want people to come closer to investigate.

People walking around will be naturally curious when they see your colorful table setup and the big promotional umbrellas that you are using for shade. They will be overwhelmed with curiosity when they see others walking around with snow cones. All you need for a snow cone is shaved ice and sweet syrups to pour over it. It is perfect on a hot day. When you are serving people their snow cones you can give them small promotional items to remember your company by. There are some nice key chains that have little flashlights among other things, that you could use.

Don't forget to outfit your help in promotional clothing for this day. You want there to be no doubt at all what company is providing refreshment for the day. All you need is for people to see your name and possibly hear what products and services you have. There is no selling or networking going on. It is a relaxing experience.

When you compare the money spent on promotional items and the time spent, you are still spending less than you would with a radio or print ad. This way you get to meet people that live in the area. You also are giving them items of your choosing to help them remember you.
