Shipping Promos

The Biz card/ promo item shipments went out today - I was impressed with the promos and the business card designs.

The home made cards were well done; the graphics on all cards were really well done.

The promos included some pin backs and magnets; pinbacks in tiny baggies - so they had a little introduction card that explained everything!
Pretty scented soap samples
Post cards! I also included a group promo idea where we each bought a square. I love mine.
StellaBean made some tiny notebooks - this idea is pretty cool & could be customized to work for anyone.

I even included some of the goodies in my weekend orders! Keep your eyes peeled for the boxes & let me know if you don't receive yours.

What makes a good Promo?
Something the customer will keep around long enough to see again & remember you/your product by.
Something that isn't cost prohibitive
Best ones for Etsy are hand made!

What do you use?

oh no what's a promo?

What makes a good promo item?

anything that you can put your business name onto or that will remind folks of your business.
ideally something that they person will keep around to look at for a while.

magnets strong enough to actually stay on fridge
pin back buttons especially if your market is a younger crowd
key fobs if you can get your name on them
stickers might be good
tiny parts or pieces of your normal work (I heard of one person who promo-ed out 1 earring, and if you ordered from her store you got the mate as well for free!)
matchbooks imprinted with your info
small art & info glued to a match box?
candy? shorter life span since folks wouldn't keep the wrapper, but they might remember the sweet.
a small pouch with your logo & info
a t-shirt with your logo & info
a mug or cup etched or painted
tiny gift sized note cards
