It would be a good idea to order your promotional mugs in a variety of colors, styles, shapes, weights, and sizes. There really isn't another promotional item that has such a need to be individualized. If the promotional printed mugs you have purchased arrive inside individual boxes that is good.
There is an old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words. Do you think that adapting this saying to promotional mug presentation might be meaningful? Well let's see. How does this sound to you, - a well presented promotional mug is worth a thousand sales? The first thing you might be thinking is what does "well presented" actually mean? The rest of this article is going to give you examples of ways to make your promotional mug distribution meet the criteria for being well presented.
Okay, before the examples, maybe it would help to have a definition to apply the examples against. Well presented in the context of this article means when you, or an employee, gives a promotional printed mug to a customer the presentation includes: 1) looking the customer in the eye and saying ‘ Thank you, I (or we) appreciate your business” - using the customer’s name is ALWAYS a part of the thank you and 2.) making sure the promotional mugs you are giving away our attractively displayed or packaged. Now for the examples...
1. If the promotional printed mugs you have purchased arrive inside individual boxes that is good. If this box is attractive and colorful it may not need additional adornment but, if it is a brown cardboard box, it would be nice to wrap it in attractive paper for presentation.
2. Your promotional printed mugs may arrive in individual boxes and the mugs are wrapped in a plastic sack or bag inside the box. If this is the case, it would be a value added service for you to take the mug out of the plastic wrapping and wash it before presenting it to a customer. It seems like there is often packing residue and debris inside these plastic wrappers and this does not make a good presentation.
3. It would be a good idea to order your promotional mugs in a variety of colors, styles, shapes, weights, and sizes. There really isn't another promotional item that has such a need to be individualized. People are very rigid about the mugs or cups they drink their coffee or tea in and if they do not have their favorite mug, the sensual satisfaction they get from drinking their beverage of choice is lessened.
Taking the individualized needs and wants of your customers into consideration, when purchasing promotional mugs, will show them you really appreciate them and you are anxious to meet all of their needs - not just their business needs. A well presented promotional mug in this circumstance would mean that you have a sample of each mug out of its’ box or wrappings and available for customers to “try out” or “try on” so they can select the perfect mug to take home with them.
None of these ideas actually require much additional cost but, taking the time to plan for a well presented promotional mug distribution goes a long way in adding to the positive feelings people have after dealing with you and your business.
