Promotional Headwear, Walking Advertisements

April 27, 2010 ideaguy 5 Comments

There are many benefits to having people walk around wearing clothes and accessories that advertise your business. This can really be one of the most effective types of advertising, because people will in turn see your company logo on their clothes and get more curious about what you sell. You will find that it’s important to take the time to make many different business decisions regarding which materials these promotional hats and other clothing items are made out of. More and more businesses are starting to turn in an eco-friendly direction to natural corn fiber materials and other fabrics which are good for the environment and cheaper in the long run. If you have started thinking about producing or distributing these kind of promotional products, then you will definitely want to take a look at all the different kinds of materials that are available for them.

Studies and statistics have shown that companies who distribute promotional headwear and give them to people who are essentially “walking billboards”, then to do better in terms of profits. It can be a lot cheaper than paying for an advertisement spot on television, newspaper, or radio. All you have to do is find people who are willing to walk around with your logos for a small fee or nothing at all if you happen to know them personally. This can be a great way to get the word out about your business and start building a customer base. Typically you will find that after you have walking advertisements going around with your logo or slogans, it will only take a matter of weeks to see a marked improvement in sales.

You can shop around at a lot of different places on the net for these hats and other clothing items which you can then put your own unique design or logo on. Often times you will actually be able to go on the website yourself and customize your order to look exactly how you want it to. You will want to personally make sure that everything is the way you want it to be, because the logo or design that you choose will be what people associate with your business when they see it. Taking the time to choose the colors and overall design is an important step that must not be taken lightly.

Switching to eco-friendly materials for your hats and caps that you put your own logo on is a good idea for many reasons, but most of all because it helps the environment and projects a better, more caring image for your business. Creating the perfect promotional headwear is all about projecting the right image and making your company look its best.

    I like how you quoted, “walking billboards”. It is true, people barely look at billboards these days. But if you instead let the people wear your brand, then you’d expose your name a lot more effectively.

    Could work. It’s totally an eye grabber. You can also give these items away from your store initially while you’re still starting up. New customers are more than willing to help in getting the word out about your awesome service.

    that’s right! people tend to be as so called walking billboards whom you see and wonder what his wearing? , where did he got that from? etc.., oftenly considered as promotional products so why bother paying for big costs advertisements when you can ,at your own, be creative by buying no print apparels and have your logos on. 🙂
