Strategies for Using Promotional Mouse Mats

P  These little items have a large surface on which to write your company’s name, location or even mission statement without over crowding.  If you are the owner of a successful deli, you can even print some of your customer’s favorite menu choices on it with delivery options included.  There are a myriad of ways in which you can make the promotional mouse mat work for you.  The following are a few strategies that can help make you or your event more successful by choosing to use promotional mouse mats.

Trade Shows- Trade shows are the perfect opportunity for companies to use promotional items as give aways.  Often these objects are tossed as soon as the trade show attendee leaves the building.  The mouse mat, however, is something that is valued by most people since they can see a purpose and function in their use.  The vast majority of today’s world uses a computer on a nearly daily basis.  A mouse mat serves a useful purpose in that world and is therefore something likely to end up on someone’s desk to be used over and over again.  That’s a pretty great way to get your name noticed multiple times per day when it’s imprinted on the mat along with your business’s contact information. 

Grand Openings- When a new business opens and there is an initial flurry of interest in them, it creates the ideal opportunity to use mouse mats as freebies for those attending on the first few days.  It is inevitable that once the excitement of the opening has passed and the success of the business gets down to attracting repeat customers, that the ingenious idea of using the mouse mats takes hold.  These useful items should already be in place in very convenient locations, namely a desktop or work surface, where a person will spend the majority of their day.  And what is written on the top of the mouse mat, extremely visible to the eyes of potential customers?  The name of your brand new business, of course!  What a great and economical advertisement!

Job Fairs- Ever wonder where soon-to-be or recent college graduates spend a majority of their time?  Attending job fairs looking for future employment.  This makes a job fair an ideal place for the promotional mouse mat to make their appearance.  Potential employers can take advantage of this great opportunity to use an eager audience as emissaries of their advertising.  Giving away mouse mats at job fairs makes good sense as these handy little items will more than likely end up in high traffic dorm rooms, libraries and home desktops to be looked at by a large number of potential customers. 

The promotional mouse mat can serve its purchaser well if they are used in conjunction with events such as those mentioned in this article that will bring them the most bang for their buck.
