Using Promotional Gifts at Networking Events

Do you go to networking events? If you are a SME then networking is a massive part of your business. Promotional gifts can really help get you remembered at these events. How you ask....well by using the right items in the right ways.

During most network events there are periods of formal and unformal networking. Formal tends to be sat around a table and you usually get some time to present your business to the table. When you are doing your presentation spend half you time getting your message across and then you can pull out a bag of [link=http://aaronspromotions.co.uk/plastic-pens-plastic-pens-c-149_57
]promotional pens and say, 'now I will hand around this bag of pens, please take a couple, but each time you use them I want to you to think about what I have just said'. This is a very powerful way to get remembered, as each time they write with the pen which has your details printed on it they will remember the message you gave them.

After that part of the meeting there is time for mingling. This is when everyone mills around speaking to each other. Ideally you want to speak to everyone in the room, as you never know if they may be interested or know someone interested in your line of business. How do you remember who you spoke to? And how can you make those people you spoke to mini billboards for your business? Well promotional logo bugs is the answer. After you speak to someone stick a logo bug onto their lapel, but make a joke out of it say 'I will give you one of these, but I cant give you two or you will end up with hundreds!!'. When they walk away and speak to other people, they will be advertising your company to everyone else in the room. And you will clearly be able to see who you need to speak to.
