Teeny Tip: Advertising Specialty

January 29, 2015 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

150129 branderscom key ringKey rings make good advertising specialty items.

How many times have you helped a customer hunt frantically for mislaid keys that are SOMEwhere in your consignment or resale shop? Once you’ve found them together, offer your ring with the tip to carry an extra set in her make up bag in her purse.

You can also use imprinted key rings as giveaways during a “The Key to Fashion” event, an “Unlock the Money in Your Closets” consigning/ selling/ donating promotion, or even offer them free with every $X purchase, “this weekend only!” (You’ll be amazed at how this sparks additional purchases!)

An added bonus: imprinted key rings are one of the most inexpensive items in most incentive catalogs, too.
