However, one area that appears to be somewhat insulated is event marketing. A recent study says events and meetings are playing an <em>increasingly</em> crucial role in the marketing mix despite the current economic conditions. This is good news for ad specialty distributors who are tapped to provide products for these events.</div><div><br />Fifty-three percent of the 1,000 senior level marketers surveyed said event marketing "is the discipline that best accelerates and deepens relationships with target audiences." Slightly more than a quarter (26 percent), said it drives the greatest return-on-investment—<strong>up 4% from 2007</strong>. The EventView 2009: North America report was conducted by an independent third party research firm on behalf of the Meeting Professionals International Foundation, the Event Marketing Institute and George P. Johnson. </div><div><br />"The underlying theme of the 2009 EventView data is that smart marketers will answer the call of their bosses to drive business as soon as possible," says David Rich, senior vice president for strategic marketing/worldwide at the event marketing company George P. Johnson. "This is best accomplished by accelerating the shift away from passive and interruptive marketing tactics and moving as quickly as possible to the more targeted, direct and engaging strategy of brand experiences that in and of themselves deliver value to the prospect or customer."</div><br /><div>About a third of survey respondents (32%) also said events are a vital part of their marketing plans. </div><br /><div></div><div>What are your event marketing plans this year?</div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11794336154373024799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408638800365117318.post-18405204572387182182009-02-25T13:46:00.000-08:002009-02-25T13:50:26.306-08:00Kaleida Drawcord Backpack<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_16KwtCVVXTg/SaW8hK7SrDI/AAAAAAAABtk/kphbOowzDTs/s1600-h/Polka+Dot+Drawcord+Bag.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306855013980744754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 310px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_16KwtCVVXTg/SaW8hK7SrDI/AAAAAAAABtk/kphbOowzDTs/s320/Polka+Dot+Drawcord+Bag.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Want a break from the usual event bag?

I was working at an advertising agency in St. George, Utah, and going to school full-time at Dixie College. I had a customer looking for imprinted brochure holders, business card holders, t-shirts and mugs. 10 years ago we didn't have the resources on the internet that we do now, but even still, I was searching online for a promotional products supplier that could get me all the products under one roof. I found a man by the name of Bob Spooner in the Mid-west who was willing to help. After rounds of quotes and samples, he did what I least expected: he encouraged me to start a company of my own and connected me with the distributor so that I could manage the orders and make the profit myself. He became a mentor and a dear friend. The agency, TenneyClemons Advertising, became my first customer, and they are still a customer today.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Times have changed. There are hundreds of promotional products suppliers on the internet now, and it would be easy for me to find one. Now I have to work harder to separate my business from my competitors (and I'm sure you are looking for ways to do the same for your business). I've made a lot of mistakes over the years - I'm not perfect, but my dedicated efforts to grow my business have been spent in client retention, not finding new clients. And it has paid off:</span></span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;">- On average, 97% of my business has come from repeat customers or referrals every year for the last 5 years. That last three percent is new customers that I had to pay for, meaning that I bought advertising or paid to be a member of the chamber of commerce. I've slowly learned I need to pay less money on getting new customers and more on keeping my current customers happy. </span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;">- Doodads Promotional Products has run profitably every year since it began back in 1999. I used my own money to start the business, made that money back in the first 6 months and have used that money to grow the business over the years. It was a very slow growth process, but it was worth the wait.</span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;">- Everyone is talking about tough times, but I'm grateful for a solid business structure and practices that will keep me afloat. In all honesty, it's been the slowest three months I have ever had. I won't lie, it's been painful. But I'll make it.</span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;">I wanted to do a post in celebration of 10 great years. Not to boast, but to give you an insight into Doodads Promotional Products and how we do business. We'll be celebrating on this blog over the coming months. Giveaways, events and more - stay tuned.</span><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:13;">In the interim, if you want to know more about what we do, give me a call. </span>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11794336154373024799noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408638800365117318.post-3926680992684741472009-02-21T20:36:00.000-08:002009-02-23T07:14:06.568-08:00Health and Wellness Items on Tradeshow Special<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_16KwtCVVXTg/SaDWeS5h07I/AAAAAAAABsk/N_h2YKwneMU/s1600-h/40077_L.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305476176999994290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_16KwtCVVXTg/SaDWeS5h07I/AAAAAAAABsk/N_h2YKwneMU/s320/40077_L.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Every quarter, Norwood, one of my preferred suppliers offers discounts on over 200 products in a number of categories: Health and Wellness; Bags and Meetings: Golf, Sports and Fun; Auto Tools and Flashlights; Drinkware; and Writing Instruments.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I wanted to highlight some of the Health and Wellness items for this post.

Just wanted to share with you some great Trade Show Specials on pens. I have over 100 pens on sale as part of the Trade Show Sale, but I wanted to highlight BIC's new SOLIS line. I've always loved BICs quality, and the Solis line is fun and hip with unique pen design - they are sure to stand out!</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Not only are they under a $.60 each, but they are keeping the catalog minimum of 300! Typically when pen companies offer discounts, they increase the minimum order so that their per order price stays about the same. Not BIC, and that's just one reason why I love them.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So why not stock up on pens, today? Give me a call. If you'd like to see more of the pens on sale during our Trade Show promotion give me a call. We also have Golf Items, bags, desk accessories and more. Over 500 products on special to get you ready for upcoming events! 801.592.1101</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Some fine print. There is a screen charge of $25.00. Shipping/Handling and tax are not included but tax is based on your local tax rate and shipping is determined based on weight. <em><strong>And I have a coupon that I can give to one lucky customer for a FREE screen charge with the purchase of 750 pens or more!</strong></em> </span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This special is only good through March, 2009.</span></div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11794336154373024799noreply@blogger.com2
