I have consistently felt that marketing promotions were widely applied but not quite well considered. Marketing marketing in a number of ways is a pretty decent idea for a wide variety of things. You can give out pens, hats, or other modest gadgets with your brand name on it. This is a method to spend little cash on an advertising campaign that will generate some extent of name recognition. The issue of how effective these merchandising merchandising promotions are is open, however. If I open my junk cabinet, I will unearth dozens of merchandising pens and erasers in there, but I could not name a single brand right off. Unless you sell a thing such as stationary which people associate with pencils, these type of marketing giveaways are nothing but a waste of money.

In my opinion - and I always tell my customers this - niche marketing campaigns should only be done for distinctive purposes. Guerrilla marketing can work wonderfully depending on what sort of product you sell, but the niche marketing campaign must be carefully tailored. Just going out into a public square and holding a contest or giving away a product won't generate any business for you at all. You have to think strategically.

One of my absolute favorite places to do niche marketing campaigns is at clubs and bars. When people are drinking, they will do what they can to win whatever. Whether you're giving away shot glasses, snacks, drink mixers, or just T-shirts, people will get interested in your merchandising advertising. If they get to come home with a keepsake of their night, they will forever relate it with the fun of going out drinking with friends. This is what successful merchandising campaigns aim to do - create those kinds of positive associations around your product or brand name.

Hot summer time afternoons are also a great time for marketing promotions. If you are willing to spend a few thousand dollars giving away free drinks in a crowded community thoroughfare, people will absolutely love you. Even if you're giving out something that doesn't strictly go together with the weather - such as a salty snack - people will still be appreciative as long as they get a bit of water with it. If you can catch people at an unguarded moment, you can achieve their brand loyalty before they even know what hit them. That's what money-making merchandising promotions are all about. Leave the brand-name pens at home!
