Get the Word Out About your Business: Use Promotional Apparel

By Kay Petronelli


It has been proven that people love to get free things. When you think of promotional materials that are used at a sporting event or other type of event you probably think of the basic hat, t-shirts, etc.

If you are looking to get word out about your business then you should consider using promotional apparel. This is a very effective promotional product that you can use to get your business name recognized. People will see your business name everytime someone wears it.

A t-shirt is one of the most inexpensive and trendy promotional items on the market today. They are considered inexpensive because a company can buy the shirts in bulk, therefore saving money, from places like Fruit of the Loom and Hanes and then imprint their logo or company name.

For only $5.00 per shirt or less, if you bought in bulk, you can see how you can't go wrong with choosing such an effective promotional item.

Hats with a company logo embossed on them are very good marketing items. They make a significant contribution to a company's marketing campaign. Just think of all the free advertising that a business can get when many different people are wearing their hats. A company investing in a nice styled hat with their logo or company name on them will only have to spend under $5.00 per hat.

Many companies are trying to be more unique and will get kitchen apparel that people can use on a daily basis. These include oven mittens, aprons and towels. These are great because people will use them in their home every day so they will remeber your business every day. It is important that you make your kitchen apparel look attractive so they will want to use them on a daily basis.

One of the last types of apparel that I'll mention here is athletic apparel. People who exercise often will need athletic apparel and if you give it away to them for free they will be very happy. All you have to do is put your company logo on the apparel and they will be a walking advertisement for you. You can put your logo or company name on headbands and wristbands. These are relatively cheap and will cost less than $2.00 a piece.

No matter what kind of business you are in you should consider using promotional apparel to help you advertise. You will be able to get your business to be recognized and you will have people who will be walking advertisements for you. This is a great way to get people thinking about your business and the services or products you offer.
