Target Pet Owners for Marketing Opportunities

Americans love their pets.  An American Pet Products Association report found that in 2012, 83.3 million Americans owned a dog while 95.6 million people had a cat. That's a lot of pets and a lot of pet owners and a lot of individuals that your pet-oriented business could (and should) be targeting. Do you hear me pet sitters, pet therapy teams, veterinarians, pet food and toy suppliers, kennels, groomers, doggie daycare centers, and every other business that associates with the cute, cuddly, fluffy, and tail-wagging animals that many of us refer to as our "kids?" Consider the Paw Letter Slitter emblazoned with your corporate name and phone number or Web page. It's a great giveaway for clients and prospects as well as partners. Imagine how many veterinary clients you could reach simply by handing this item over each time a new pet owner walks through the door. Or what about leaving this letter slitter with each bill for your pet sitting business? Include one with every grooming appointment. A small token gift is all that is needed to market you to new faces. And it never hurts to market your business to long time customers, too.

A Spoonful of Common Sense without Spending a Lot of Cents

One of the best promotional items I have personally ever received is probably among the simplest in my house. It's the medicine spoon, and a pharmacist gave it to me once when I had to go pick up a bottle of amoxicillin for my feverish son. This has been a wonderful addition because not only have I used it for my kids, but also for myself and even the dog. The spoon is made of durable plastic, measure up to two teaspoons and is dishwasher safe. Who could use this spoon? Anyone! Who should use this as a promotional item? Doctor's offices (including pediatricians), pharmacies, and hospitals are all ideal candidates. For conferences and workshops on health topics, I suggest that you order several hundred to distribute to attendees. Simple and inexpensive means it won't put a dent in your marketing budget. Effective and promotional means it keeps your business in the collective thoughts of your recipients every time they use it. Know that this medicine spoon is something that really will be used. It's a great opportunity to give a promo item that will reach many.

Keeping Your Customer Protected

Don't get scammed and don't let your clients or customers fall victim either. The counterfeit detector pen is useful for any business that accepts cash. I've seen these used in retail and grocery stores, banks, and pizza parlors. Now imagine all of the people you could reach by using this pen as a marketing tool for your business. Any business owner, whether small or large, would find great use and convenience in this. And no matter what your business is -- financial advisor, insurance salesperson, bank, payroll specialist, manufacturer , etc. -- you could find value in giving this detector pen to your clients and potential customers. It's a way to say "Hey, I care about your business and I care about our relationship, and here's a small token to help protect your own business interests." Not many people have the opportunity to give a business gift that can be protective. Here's your chance to do that while sending out a strong marketing message for yourself at the same time. One small pen. Lots of amazing benefits. Now, why wouldn't you go ahead and order this item?
