In real estate, it’s all about relationships. Referrals and word-of-mouth marketing are among some of the most effective ways to grow your clientele. So, where do promotional items come into the mix? Well, promotional items can be used in many ways — mostly to make your client remember your name or to refer you to friends.
Here’s some of our favorite promotional items for real estate agents:
1. Customized Picture Frame With a Picture of Their New Home: Commemorate the moment and give a gift that will remind them about this important stage of their life. You can also think about adding your logo to the bottom of the picture – for some added brand exposure.
2. Address Coasters: Numbers are really trendy right now, so why not engrave their address number on a set of coasters with your logo on the back? You could also engrave each family member’s name on them as well – that way they’re not fighting over them! Wrap this gift up with a pretty bow and it’s a gift they’ll be sure to use every day!
3. Celebrate! Help them celebrate their new home with this wine bottle and glass holder. Go crazy and customize everything from the glasses and the stand to the wine bottle. Get creative and have fun with it! Great gift for the day of closing!
4. House Cutting Board: Clever and functional – this cutting board can be engraved with all sorts of awesome quotes about home being where the heart is…or you can quit being cheesy and engrave a picture of their house and/or family name.
OK–maybe you’re thinking…man, I just wanted some ideas for my upcoming trade show, well – all applies, except you can give these away as raffle prizes (customization will be different). Didn’t hit the mark? Call us because we have TONS more ideas for you 812.376.3212 or visit www.eybpromotions.com.

Going Green?
What was once considered to be only a fad is continuing to gain momentum in this age of social responsibility. The purchase of eco-friendly promotional products made of biodegradable products are on the rise. Consumers who are choosing to live more environmentally conscious are now expecting their employers and perspective employers to do the same. The promotional products of yesterday are slowly falling behind the times, the bandwagon is here are you going to jump on?
Function Anyone?
We have all gotten them, cheap gimmicky promotional products that go in the trash as soon as we get home. Effective promotional products are ones that the user sees value in, but most of all has a useful function! Your potential customers don’t want another ugly hat to throw in the back of the closet, no they want a hat that is breathable and designed for outdoor activity. The added cost involved is easily outweighed by the repeat business you will receive from an effective promotional product.
Who says it has to be black or White?
As someone who spends a majority of the week at a promotional products company, I have seen my fair share of traditional promotional items go out the door. However it seems recently that the traditional black or white t-shirt or mug is taking a back seat to the more vibrant custom color schemes. With fierce competition for market share, companies are realizing the importance of standing out at trade shows and expos. Product distributors are making it easier to match your companies logo and colors to almost any product, so the next time your thinking of putting your logo on the side of a generic mug take a moment to think outside the box.
Pricing
Without a doubt pricing is the chief motivator when choosing promotional products. Yes it is more expensive to purchase eco-friendly products, yes it is more expensive to choose products with a useful function, and yes it is more expensive to choose a custom product. However it is necessary to think beyond cost when dealing with promotional products. Would you hand 100 people $2.00 to throw in a trash can? Then why would you hand your potential clients a $2.00 promotional product that is going to end up in the trash? Wouldn’t you rather give away something that will be appreciated and used, then to have a mass give-away with items that don’t represent your brand and end up in the garbage?

QR codes have always been a hot topic around here. But, before you jump on the band wagon, it’s important to ask yourself — “when does using a QR code make sense?” Let’s take a look at what we know about QR codes, so that you can decide if they’re a fit for your next campaign.
- Adoption is still pretty low: The recent release of Compete’s smartphone intelligence survey results from Q3 of 2010 shows that 28 percent of smartphone owners have used mobile apps to scan barcodes.
- Usage is increasing at a rapid rate: Mobio’s “Naked Facts” report highlights a 1,200 percent increase in mobile scans from July to December of 2010.
- QR Codes are Free: Check out sites like Kaywa and Qurify where you can make as many QR codes as you would like for free.
- Apple Phones Scan More QR Codes: Apple phones currently scan the majority of QR codes (68%), followed by Android and then BlackBerry devices.
- You Can Track Scans: By using a service like bit.ly you can both create QR codes and track the number of times someone scans your QR code.
- You Shouldn’t Link a QR Code to a Flash Site: Most mobile devices do not support flash.
- Most QR Codes are Black and White: But, some scanners can support other colors.
- QR Codes Can Do Many Things: They can send someone to a URL, send a text, allow a user to download a file, call someone or unlock a message or video.
- You Must Offer an Incentive: Most people scan QR codes so that they can get something (coupon or discount). So, be sure to offer a good reason for someone to want to scan it.
- No Licenses Are Required: You are not required to purchase a license to use QR codes.
