However there are many different kinds of items that can be personalized and used to help raise your company’s brand awareness, and in this article we will help you understand how specific kinds of products can help you gain an edge against competitors.

Branded Bags

Branded bags are like those you find in your local convenience store, rucksacks or shoulder bags that are used by both school and university students and indeed working adults alike. They are a great promotional tool because of their practical application and how frequently they are used in our everyday lives. After all, think about how many times you may have been going to pick up garbage or needed to wrap something to store in your fridge. Chances are you immediately reached for a carrier bag from a local supermarket you frequent. By doing this you then had to look at the company’s name, logo and branding, which subconsciously in a way, reminds the user of that companies existence.

The other reason that bags are so good for the purposes of promotion is that they are, in essence, used to transport things from one location or another, whether its paperwork or school books, and this means that they will generally travel a good distance on a regular day. All the way along this route the bag will be given countless opportunities to be viewed by passersby and gives them a chance to remember your company. Effectively turning your promotional bags into walking billboards that will only serve to at the very least catch somebody’s eye and tell them the name of your business. Helping them to associate that bag they saw with your business should they ever require your services.

T-shirts

T-shirts, like bags are a great way or openly displaying everything about your company in a (hopefully) trendy and fashionable way. In this respect, t-shirts are superior to bags as they give a far larger canvas with which to work with to create a stylish, fashionable and eye-catching design with which to promote your business and reinforce your brand coloring and name.

The only downside in some respect is that the process of making this design something that not only serves your corporate needs but is also fashionable and appealing enough to be worn by people by choice can be an extremely prolong, frustrating and time consuming process as mixing business and pleasure is a very difficult thing, especially when you’re talking about an item of clothing. However if you get it right and the shirts themselves become a desirable looking item of clothing then they have far more impact and memorability than a simple ubiquitous and interchangeable coffee cup or marker pens that most companies go for.
