In todays business market, promotional gifts are replacing the traditional business cards, as more and more companies are realising that such gifts are more beneficial in promoting business than the simple cards. The one simple reason for this is promotional items are more often used by the customers rather than the business cards which are rarely noticed by the consumers. One of the many advantages associated with promotional products is that the advertisement on them is potentially seen and noticed by a huge mass of audience. While conventional business cards are put away in purses and wallets. The customised promotional products are often used by the recipients and may also be passed along, conveying the message of the company across. Another strength of promotional products is that they are available in a variety of types and styles that the company can choose from. From cost-effective promotional pens to elegant travel bags and flasks, there is definitely a product to fit the marketing needs of any company or business.
The flexible price variety of promotional products, which may range from very easy on the pocket to lavish ones, is also considered as an added advantage. This price range of the promotional products allows all the companies, including those which have the lowest marketing budget to get best advertisement without making hole in their pocket. Even the most inexpensive promotional gifts can prove to be an advantageous advertising medium than other expensive marketing tools.
Finally, one of the greatest benefits that promotional items provide is that most of them are useful. When a company gives its clients, employees and customers an item that they can use, it definitely gives them a feeling of warmth, a feeling that the company really cares for their support and faith.
The only weakness associated with promotional gifts as an advertising tool comes when the company selects a low-quality cheap product. Rather than creating a positive impression in the market, such cheap promotional products can even damage the existing image of the company. Imagine that a company distributed promotional pens at an exhibition and they did not actually write well when the customers wanted to use them. In this case, the customers will either throw the pen in a dustbin or will never use it again. In addition, they will create a negative impression of the company in their mind. Therefore, in order to avoid such a humiliating situation, the company should make sure that it selects the promotional items at least of good quality, if not of highest quality.

Have you ever wondered why Americans eat so much? Well, the food industry is one reason and an important one I’d like to discuss. The growth of the food industry has made high-fat, inexpensive meals available throughout the world, and bigger size has become a major selling point. McDonald’s sells the Big Mac, Wendy’s offers the Big Classic, and Burger King pushes the Whopper. Do you notice anything similar with the names of these burgers? A large coke at most fast-food restaurants is now 32 ounces and 310 calories and at one time not too long ago was just 12 ounces and 180 calories. If fact 20 years ago kids drank an average of 8 ounces of soda a day; today they drink an average of 24 ounces a day. The food abundance we’re surrounded with has secured a spot in your mind, causing intense cravings and compulsions, and you must do something about it.
Astonishingly, a 12-ounce can of soda contains 8 to 10 teaspoons of sugar and many teenagers consume as many as 7 cans a day, which equals nearly 1000 empty calories and 60 teaspoons of sugar. Try this on for size: kids today drink almost twice the amount of soda as they do milk.
To make matters worse, the fast-food industry makes promotional links with leading toy makers, giving away simple toys with their kids’ meals and selling higher profile toys at a discount. It’s a clever way to target kids, and a successful toy promotion can double or triple the weekly sales volume of children’s meals. Did you know that the second most recognized fictional character is Ronald McDonald, second only to Santa Claus? Ninety-six percent of American school children can identify Ronald McDonald before they can recognize their own name! Doesn’t that tell you something?
The fast-food industry spends about 33 billion dollars a year on advertising and most of it is done subliminally, meaning that the messages affect you without your conscious awareness; without you knowing it. You may notice the contents of a commercial, but they go right over your head and infect your subconscious with a “virus.” The purpose of advertising is to hit you where it hurts — emotionally. Recently, I watched a particular fast-food commercial showing a mom and young daughter eating burgers and fries. It seemed innocent enough, but here’s what the real message was: The mother was dressed in a business suit with her briefcase, and the young girl told her mom that she appreciated spending quality time like this with her. The mom guiltily looked at her daughter while both of them smiled and ate their French fries. A working mother watching this commercial would have subconsciously absorbed this message, felt guilty without even realizing it, and perhaps paid a visit to the fast food restaurant without consciously knowing the real reason.

When we talk about visual advertising then we are talking about a form of advertising focused on the visual perception: for advertising it’s meant every action directed to make something known and public, visual advertising is just a variant that focuses mostly on the appearance and how is perceived by the human eye and therefore the term visual comes to put in evidence this concept. What appears to the human eye is very important: let’s think for example to traffic signs and to the concepts they are able to convey and at their meanings written down, in the first case they are soon absorbed with no time spent in reading. Photos are understood also by analphabets while written things only by who is able to read. Let’s think, for example, to a magazine: where does our attention go ? On the images or on the text ? On the images is the right answer since an image is able to convey concepts and feelings in a blink of an eye. Visual advertising pays also attention to the colors that can be warm or cold and that play an important role in the image choosing process.
Images are one of the most important things on the internet that is the advertising channel of the third millenium, let’s think at when we see a website and at how our attention first focuses on the images, then on the title and last on the text: Google, in the section entitled “Webmasters/Site owners Help”, at the voice “webmaster guidelines” says “Make sure that your title elements and alt attributes are descriptive and accurate”. Really important is the ALT attribute, in which an alternative text can be specified and appears when someone moves the mouse over an image, since is put along with the title tag that is known for its primary importance: this shows how the text attached to images is important for ranking high in the SERPs. Then we want to pay attention to the images and their colors when we build our website but also out of it in external pages in which we can post images like the forums that allow to do this. Today a very used technique is article marketing that is about writing articles, including a link to our website for further informations, and sending them to the article directories that can be found by searching Google by article marketing.
PubblicitAdvertising is an article directory that allows to insert images along with descriptions, in this way more keywords will be specified making articles found by more queries. Really we can talk about Visual Article Marketing, article marketing enriched by a graphic appearance and therefore more attractive but also more powerful in conquering the top ten in the SERPs.
