Why choose an environmentally friendly promotional item

Examining the marketing thinking behind environmental messaging

One the most significant trends in the world of Promotional Products is the demand for items which are environmentally friendly. But, environmentally friendly products made from recycled materials or biodegradable materials tend to be more expensive than plastic based products. So why spend the extra money? What do you get in return? This is not a glib question and needs to be answered by each brand, so that you gain from the additional expenditure rather than merely jump on a trend.

1. Because you are a ‘green’ brand

Some brands are entirely focused on their environmental position. Lush Cosmetics, for example, are natural products with an eco-friendly ethos running through the whole company. From the product, the packaging, to the store lighting and the charities they support. For them, any promotional item have to be made from recycled materials from leaflets printed on recycled paper to gifts. To use anything else would be an anathema.

For some companies it is not really the additional expense of environmentally sound promotional goods but rather there is no alternative. But, you do not have to be in this position because…

2. Because you have an environmental message as well

We work with a number of brands who you would not class as ‘eco’ companies who nonetheless have a message about their Social Responsibility. Energy clients are a good example. Drax Power is known across the UK for its large scale coal fired power stations. The power stations emit huge amounts of carbon dioxide and so that puts Drax in the firing line for the environmental lobby.  But Drax has been changing to removing coal from its power stations and investing in renewables. Their issue is that their customers and potential customers do not know of their changes their issue is getting that message out.

Drax is an example of a company which has a message to communicate – one which unlike Lush is not immediately obvious. Hence, it is more important that literature and promotional items push that message out to clients, consumers and government.

3. Because we need no more plastic in the world

Other businesses may not have a particular environmental message but they do not want to be seen as adding to the problem. For them it is not a particular message that needs to be sent but rather part of a wider Social Responsibility. Not trying to look like eco-warriors but not looking to add to the problem either.

The rationale here may be more subtle – the message may be that you care for the environment, society or feel a level of social responsibility. Whilst the promotional item is important it must fit within a wider marketing and communications package. Their needs to be a consistency across all 

forms of communication.

4. Greenwash

“I have heard there are lots of customers to be won by saying you are environmentally conscious. Not sure what it all means but if I can win more business then why not?”

 Clearly the last statement was somewhat tongue in cheek but not massively. We have been asked by plastic polymer manufacturer for cotton carrier bags and have in the past been asked by a well-known burger chain for sporting products. Beware, your consumer is not stupid. There needs to be alignment. This applies to all aspects of marketing and messaging but for some reason gets lost when discussing promotional products.

5. ROI

So if investing in environmental promotional products is more expensive can there be a more quantitative justification than the arguments above. Measurement appears to be difficult although regional A/B testing may be possible on a regional basis of your spend is large enough. We also know of a company who presented two promotional gifts at an exhibition to test responses. But this is not digital marketing with masses of data. Whilst the evidence may be deemed little more than anecdotal a glance at your social media feeds will indicate the feelings of your clients if you get this wrong.

Case Study: A post Covid survival kit for In the Zone, Leyland

In the Zone, a serviced offices and business support provider in Leyland, Lancashire approached BusinessGiftUK.com to provide them with various items they could put together as a COVID-19 survival kit for their clients.

In the Zone have been a client of BusinessGiftUK.com for some time. BusinessGiftUK have supplied branded gifts such as branded pens and notepads to gift to their tenants, who are located at their serviced offices, or clients who use their boardroom for events. They have also supplied promotional gifts for expos such as teddy bears wearing branded t-shirts and place mats.

Return to work

As lockdown measures began to ease, In the Zone owner, Mandy Cardwell, was being contacted by tenants, keen to return to their serviced offices. To facilitate their safe return, she wanted to put together a kit to make the transition easy for clients, whilst also promoting In the Zone and the services they can provide.

BGUK and ITZ agreed that the kit should include a celebratory bottle of Prosecco (why not?), along with hygiene items such as a face mask, hand gel, wipes, tissues and gloves. For the branded gifts, we suggested a pen and notepad, which are always popular, and a sports bottle. The sports bottle was key in putting the package together; rather than use communal glasses which In the Zone haven’t been able to provide during the pandemic, each client could take ownership of their own bottle to avoid cross contamination.

The In the Zone meeting room is now available to hire again. At the time of writing, up to 4 people can safely use the room at any one time but eventually they expect to get back to the full 20 person capacity, complete with branded pads and pens for all delegates.

Customer Service

The COVID survival kits were gratefully received, and BGUK were given some wonderful feedback from the client: “Our promotional gifts have been a very effective marketing tool at networking events, and the personalised pens and pads are popular with clients who book our boardroom for meetings.  Overall, the service from BusinessGiftUK.com is fantastic. We are always very impressed with the gifts, and the team go above and beyond.”

At BusinessGiftUK.com, the experienced team always take time to ensure that the promotional business gifts we offer meet with our clients’ objectives.

A Throwback Thursday: Manufacturing of Promotional Corporate Gifts

We take a trip down memory lane with The ODM Group with their blog from June 2010. This goes to show that some trends in the promotional industry stays even for decades, Here is one promotional product idea and tips that stand the test of time.

Goodie bags as promotional corporate gifts in events, seminars and conferences are common giveaways. However, corporate event organisers sometimes encounter difficulties deciding over how and what to give to send the right kind of message to delegates attending these events.Picking the right promotional corporate gifts is essential as we as brands try to please everyone. These are some pointers worth considering before every event.

Consider your audience at the event 

Are the attendees generally male or female. What is the theme of the event? What type of job position do visitors hold?

For casual events such as a welcoming party, attendees are very often dressed informally. The mood is light and relaxing. Simple gimmicky gifts like toys or kitchenware could pull it off. However, formal meetings like a staged conference or educational seminar, more appropriate gifts would then often be medium to high end.

Commonly used demographics include sex, race, age, income, disabilities, mobility (in terms of travel time to work or number of vehicles available), educational attainment, home ownership, employment status, and even location. These are factors that you can consider when you picking out the perfect gift for your audience.

How convenient will the gift be to your delegates to walk around with? 

Although this point may seem simple and logical, it is often forgotten among event organizers. Imagine yourself attending the event and the door gift is a huge chopping board. The bulk and weight will probably put you off. Therefore, do consider the dimension of the gift and the carrier to load the goodies you may be offering. Make sure sufficient space and comfort level for your audience is fulfilled.

Cater to the location

Again, please plan ahead for your event attendance. If the event or conference is held in the heart of the city or busy convention centre, a huge and bulky product may not be very appropriate. It will be very disheartening to see your product left at the side of the road after the conference.

Leverage your brand exposure

Work out what logos and designs are to be incorporated into your gifts. Consider your gift types, are they disposable or reusable? Look through the route your delegated might travel. These factors aid to maximize your promotional exposure.

Take for instance umbrellas/caps – they can be outstanding and draw attention in a rainy weather when everyone uses them. Moreover, imagine the impact when the crowd dispersed through town using the same branded umbrellas/caps.

Know your budget

Promotional budget and the number of participants ties hand in hand to your promotional strategy. Build your giveaway concept around your budget to hit maximum impact.  Order really early to avoid rush jobs and higher charges.

Post event promotion

Is also vital to consider. Are the gifts useful after the event? Choose products that may aid your promotion even after the event is over. Even an inexpensive product such as a pen or T-shirt can do the job.

Good presentation layout 

Gives your delegates a good impression of the company. Having your goodie bags neatly placed and settled before the guest arrives shows them that you value the gift, which in turn creates a high perceived value.

Packaging 

Packaging can make all the difference with perceived value of the product.  Making the packaging part of the promotional corporate gift such as a good quality bag – all the better !

Branding

If people perceive themselves as a walking billboard, then the perceived value of your gift is lower.   Give a gift where the colours tie in nicely with your brand, where the shape and function are more unique.   Using more discreet logos or none at all usually make for higher perceived value.

This sums up the tips and tricks you can use when picking out a corporate gift event. While it may seem challenging, following these steps will make sure that you get the perfect gift and the best results for your marketing budget.

Merchandising from Starting Point to Bulk

When you're running around, always busy, you may feel like you need eight arms like an octopus.

Octopus Energy certainly have been busy and that's in large part to their promotional toy Constantine, an Octopus.

During the early days of promoting Constantine as a giveaway to their customer base it was working well using an independent machinist making the plushies by hand.

And the early days worked well.

In fact the campaign took off, it went very well.

“Our octopus toys (also known as Constantine) were initially handmade by a lady in Wales... However, as we grew, the demand for our octopus toys also increased and understandably this quickly became way too much for one person to handle. With that in mind, we began searching for a new supplier and came across Custom Toys UK. One of the most important things to us when considering a new supplier was that we wanted to make sure we were working with a supplier who could ensure high ethical standards and meet all toy licensing rules and regulations. Thankfully, Custom Toys UK do just that”.

While Custom Toys UK can also do small batch runs of merchandise, it had become clear that their ability to adapt to popular campaigns would provide the level of scope and support that Octopus Energy required.

Christian at Custom Toys explained that this was a slightly unusual case as Octopus Energy had already got a character that they wanted supplied to them.

"Most people don't know where to start when trying to create a character so stop short of developing those ideas for a marketing campaign, Octopus Energy had already developed a solid brand idea"

It is more common that a customer would work with a designer at Custom Toy UK to come together and create a character.

The five strategic steps to consider to embark on your own custom toy are:

1. Who's it for? Which audience are you trying to attract?

2. What do you hope your toy will achieve?

3. Where will it be used?

4. Do you have branding guidelines that you would like followed?

5. Sketch out a few ideas with a designer and work with them for a while as you get to know your custom toy

Octopus Energy successfully developed Constantine from a set of illustrations so much of the design phase could be omitted, this saved a few days in the early stages of the process.

Constantine the Octopus made her debut appearance for a TV ad. Then, ever since the debut, Octopus Energy have been getting requests from viewers for their very own Constantine.

Demand has been strong.

Teaming up with Custom Toys UK meant that the demand can be met.

With a character that popular, the next area to get right was the quantities, ensuring stock levels for the twelve weeks that an order typically takes to fulfill. Balancing supply and demand is completely possible and a customer can order the exact amounts that they require.

It's gone well, As Jess Hunter, Marketing Executive at Octopus Energy says,

"The octopus family continues to grow with help of Custom Toys UK"

And the unexpected benefits of adding a character toy to the marketing campaign continues to this day?

"People absolutely love the toys and love to share images on Twitter and Instagram.... The amount of hype we get from them has done wonders for our brand"

Perhaps there’s more Constantine merchandise to come?

Following the five strategic steps to creating your own branded custom toy is certainly worth a look for anyone wishing to promote their offering. Perhaps you already have an idea? Or, maybe teaming up with the right supplier will help deliver similar results to Octopus Energy.
