Generate customer referrals with Promotional Products

Have you ever taken a few minutes to think about the referrals that you receive? Referrals are a major way to grow one’s business. In fact, many companies do not advertise and grow simply from networking and referrals.


How do you go about getting referrals? Do you ask for referrals? Have you ever thought about using promotional products to receive more referrals?


Studies have shown that customers who received promotional products are 14% more likely to provide leads than those that did not receive a promotional product? In fact, salespeople who give promotional gifts to their customers receive 22% more referrals than salespeople who do not use promotional products.

When you give a promotional product to your customers, how does it make you feel? Not only did the person receiving the gift feel good but the person giving it also feels really good about it. Gifts are always received well by customers even if it does have your logo on it.

They can be used as a one-time promotion to simply say ‘Thank You’. Several promotional items can be themed to a certain promotion and be given throughout a certain time frame. Either way, providing promotional gifts increases business referrals.

Have you found this to be true for you?


What promotional products to you give to customers for referrals?

Win a Nintendo Wii from one of my Customers!



Well, I do not see myself doing this very often but one of my customers asked me to do it!  Anyway, his name is Patric Welch from Noobie.  He is great and very knowledgeable about gadgets!  I love reading his blogs!  In fact, he was one of them I mentioned in my newsletter.

Anyway, one of the things that I really want is a Nintendo Wii!  I have been trying to convince Mark that I need one really bad!  If we get the WiiFit then I could work out at home and would not have to go the Y!  Also he could work out at home and we would all have fun!  The first time that I played the Wii was at another customer's house  . .Steve Gray Renovations!  It was so much fun!  We played the Guitar Hero and I have been hooked ever since!
