Take and Give scheme really works on business world, but it’s work only when the products is good and the promotional gift are right.
Anyway, you’re right pikunka.
Use big fund to promote low quality product won’t give good effect for long term. It’s best to use that fund to increase the quality of the product.

Once you chose the way to use promotional products, you have to decide your budget of spending. There is no point to promote your brand with low quality products, and it they broke, etc, they might leave an undesired memory in people. Maybe it is better to choose a smaller but better quality product for your promotion, then a bugger but soon useless one.

Quality is important but not the main thing to be concerned with. It is very important for the fact of positive word of mouth. Word of mouth is a great way to get business as people are more likely to take the word of someone then know over the word of someone over the internet, and you would be surprised how much good will comes from getting some cheap little thing for free.

I think Hammy had a wonderful point. Giving promotional product or gifts alone doesn’t matter, but the given product should be a good quality one and should work. Once you decide to give a promotional products, then should concentrate on its quality.

Kempos made a good point. Giving a gift to the customer, means you are aware of what you are doing, and you also respect your company and care about it. Not many companies have gifts but this depends on the size of the company in my opinion.

Giving promotional products is a great idea, as many posters already wrote.

And I agree with most of them and also stated it in my other posts - make sure that your gift is of good quality. Remember, it will be the “ambassador” of your company. So good quality gift will tell your customers - this is a good quality company, poor quality gift will simply tell them - stay away from their services/products.

They will judge by the gift you give them - it is something very important to keep in mind.

If you can’t make it proper (finances for examples won’t allow you) - don’t give anything, that’s better than giving something of low quality.

I also agree with sky here, a low quality promotional product will not serve the purpose of building trust with the customers customers.The inclined to think that the free gifts they are getting with the product of company is being paid by them if & low quality of its people will not then be Background of things from buying the company.

Believe me with this, “what you give, you will get back” So, if you give promotional gift to your customer, you will get something for return. I guess you know what i mean right? Means, you will have chance to get loyal customer and bring more customer to your shop or store. Believe me, its worth to try. If you not start yet, do that now!

it is very well know fact that promotional products works better in advertising a product if they are quality oriented. people will go for anything that is useful to them. so it is also important to choose between things that are useful and that are not at useful to them .

I am agreeing with what Daniel said above , “Give and you shall receive”.

Just purely from the goodwill that you create by giving out promotional goods many sales will generated, but that’s not to mention the value of the advertising.

Promotional items reach customers in ways that traditional advertising cannot.

So it is a extremely smart investment for any company to make.
