Never Believe Telemarketers/Sale Promoters

While reading my old blog post, When Cheap is not a Bargain, I couldn’t agree more with one of the tips there – Never Believe Telemarketers.

I think I would like to change a bit, Never Believe Telemarketers/Sales Promoters.

I remember there was once I was shopping at the shopping mall with hubby. He was looking for some supplements to improve his intestines while I was at another store finding promotional products.

When we met again after an hour, I was surprised that hubby bought a rather expensive probiotic supplement brand. The promoter told him that it’s good and it worked to improve the intestines.

Did it work? Well, I will tell you in my next post when I am back.

People Love Collecting Promotional Products Or Freebies

Are you one of those people that go to a trade show and walk from booth to booth filling up your bag with free goodies or promotional products from all the trade show booths? Do you collect pens from your doctor’s office? Keep the magnet from the veterinarian on the refrigerator?

I do. I love collecting all these freebies — it’s shameless and it’s fun. I love going back to my room after a trade show and sorting through all the free stuff I collected throughout the day.

But what about the companies handing out the promotional items? Is spending the money on these trinkets worth it? Do people look at the name on the pens or tech gadgets? Are people more likely to visit companies or stores giving out promotional items?

According to studies, the answer is yes! Recipients of promotional products are reported to have:

1. A significantly more positive outlook on your business

2. A higher likelihood of recommending your business

3. A higher likelihood of patronizing the business.
