The best way to advertise is to have others do it for you. Here are some great advertising ideas you can use with our custom made products.

Are you looking for ways to turn your loyal customers into walking advertisements? Do you want to reward your clients while also capitalizing on the opportunity to spread your brand around? If so, then you need to learn about a few advertising ideas that you can sell to your customers and have them wear your brand.

Doing so can give you a very high return on your investment. You can create promotional products that your customers will love and take everywhere they go.

See below for several awesome small business advertising ideas that you invest in that allow you, your customers, and your staff to wear your brand.

1. Hats

Hats are a tremendous resource when you're looking to create promotional products. Many people wear hats whenever they get the opportunity, such as while walking around town or even during their job.

You can create something unique by paying to have the hat embroidered with your company logo. It will immediately stand out to those that are seeing it for the first time.

When someone sees an unfamiliar logo on a hat, you know what question that person is guaranteed to ask the hat wearer: "what is the logo on your hat?"

2. Face Masks

Things are trending in the right direction for a post-COVID-19 world. Slowly but surely, businesses are reopening their doors and experiencing max capacity once more.

However, there's still a growing need for face masks. Some people prefer to wear them as an added comfort level when they go out to eat, shop, hang out with loved ones, etc. Many businesses are still requiring their employees to wear face masks to ensure that all customers feel comfortable.

For that reason, face masks are still a tremendous promotional product to invest in. Place your logo in the middle of the facemask and enjoy the luxury of having free advertising that walks around town.

3. Keychains

Perhaps you're looking for advertising ideas that serve as a friendly reminder to customers. Maybe you want promotional products that will ensure your customers carry them with them wherever they go.

If so, then keychains are a tremendous option. Every time your customer goes to grab their keys from the front door or turn the ignition in their car, there your logo will be, staring them in the face!

Sometimes, it's the subliminal advertising that's most effective. The food and beverage industry thrives off subliminal marketing, why can't you? Keychains also add a bit of a luxurious and legitimate vibe to your brand.

4. T-Shirts

Seriously, would this be a legitimate list of advertising ideas without mentioning t-shirts? Promotional products such as custom t-shirt are a no-brainer for companies in any industry. They're inexpensive to make, they prominently display your logo, and everyone loves them!

You can create custom shirts (and other apparel) by simply screen printing your logo and design on it, as well as anything else you might like to add. For example, you might consider adding your company's motto on the back.

No matter what your company budget looks like, custom t-shirts fit the bill! The screen printing process offers a fast turnaround and holds its quality, giving you advertising for many years to come.

5. Pens

Yet another small business advertising idea that's sure to knock it out of the park. Not only do your customers use pens daily, but pens also add a luxurious impression to your brand.

We consider pens to be one of the most cost-effective promotional items out there. You can order them in bulk and customers only expect to receive one of them. Plus, our statistics show that 54-percent of respondents admit they've held onto the promotional pens they were given.

So how can you be sure that your customers hold on to your promo products? They have to consider them useful! That's why pens are such a great advertising idea. Clients hold on to them because they expect to use them every day.

6. Golf Balls

Perhaps you're organizing a huge golf outing for your top-tier clients and staff. Maybe you want a way to reward the CEOs that you do frequent business with.

Using golf balls as a promotional tool is a tremendous option for your branding strategy. You can hold them back for the clients you know will use them well (again, customers only hold on to promo products they expect to use).

You can have your logo printed on golf balls and have them ordered in bulk. You can kick things up a notch by ordering sleeves to keep the golf balls in, as an added layer of luxury for your clients.

7. Coffee Mugs

Research has shown that an astounding 86-percent of full-time employees drink coffee. So much so that it's become a natural habit—they can't go a day without it.

What does that mean for your promo products? That you need to capitalize on those eye-popping statistics by creating custom coffee mugs with your logo displayed on them.

Most coffee drinkers view coffee mugs as a collector's item. If you make a good-looking mug, it just might turn into your customer's go-to mug with their morning cup of joe.
