Happy New Year! At Multi Media Promotions, it’s our favorite time of year. You have 12 months of promotional opportunities ahead and we get to help make the most of them!

To kick off the new year, we’re sharing a few ideas for building awareness and strengthening relationships you might not have considered before:

Promote new product/service launches. If a big announcement is on your 2012 agenda, make it memorable. Consider a replica of your product. Or an image of it imprinted on a popular desktop item like a mousepad or clock. Or give customers an etched bottle of wine and invite them to celebrate!

Maximize tradeshow investments. Don’t bog down attendees with literature they have to transport home. We’ll put together a follow-up package before the show you’ll mail to new prospects the day you get back in the office.

Motivate your staff. Whether it’s more sales you’re after, money-saving ideas, or a safer workplace, we’ll develop a contest with prizes to light a fire under your audience!

Stay in touch. Tell your audience you’re thinking of them – all year long. Spread love on Valentine’s Day with heart-shaped items. In the spring, give new customers a gardening tool with a note tied to the handle about cultivating the relationship. In June, send imprinted sunglasses accompanied by a letter explaining how you make customers “feel like stars.” (Ask us for more ideas.)

Tap into technology trends. Want to send the message that your company is innovative? Present clients with cutting-edge accessories for the latest technology devices such as desktop cell phone holders and economical neoprene cases for iPads.

Be sure to ask for our help with your printing and direct-mail needs -- we specialize in all printed materials.

We look forward to helping you make the most of 2012. Let's talk soon about what's on your agenda!
