At An Opportunity Knocks, Our Goal Is to Help You Create Effective Marketing

with Engaging Promotional Products.

What do raising money through fundraisers, building trade show traffic, running a dynamic political

campaign, and encouraging a safe and healthy work environment have in common? They are all more

effective with the use of engaging promotional items.

Let’s Start with Fundraisers. Just about Every Successful Fundraising Campaign

Uses Promotional Products as Giveaways.

Promotional giveaways are a great way to set goals for your volunteers and to thank people for their donations. The greater the donation, the greater the giveaway. Nonprofit organizations use tiered promotional giveaways for their donors, starting with mugs and T-shirts, up to multi-disk collections and invitations to special performances. If your

fundraiser includes a 5-K or 10-K run, for example, logo T shirts and sport ‑bottles are ideal. An Opportunity Knocks has a great selection of giveaway thank-you products for donors, volunteers and service providers. Stress toys, tumblers, ribbons, and smaller items are ideal because you don’t want to be using up your resources by giving something too costly.

At a Trade Show You Want Your Brand Making Its Presence Felt.

In a trade show environment, one way to build traffic is by having noisemakers, just like you would at a recruiting event or a political campaign event. You can also engage people’s attention with things like lanyards, badge holders, and tote bags. All of a sudden, people who may not have even known you were there are now seeing your brand everywhere and thinking: This could be a good company to investigate; they have such a large presence at the show. Everybody is carrying their bag (great inexpensive advertising); I’d better go check them out. You can see, it’s a great way to build trade show traffic.

The Same Engaging Use of Promotional Products Is Effective Marketing

for Political Campaigns.

Having experienced multiple elections, local and national, you know all the different applications—the noisemakers, the stickers, the buttons, the temporary tattoos, the signage, and everything else screaming out somebody’s name or political party affiliation. There’s a reason why this is all so popular. It’s because it really works! The effect of engaging promotional items is that they actually help people make a decision at the voting booth. Voters become so familiarized with the names of the people on those products that they’ve received, and they remember them.

One Final and Especially Engaging Use of Promotional Products—To Maintain

A Healthy Organization.

Your people are your greatest asset, and without their buy-in and support you’re not going to be successful. There are so many things like pedometers, calorie-counting skipping ropes, exercise kits, massagers, body mass indicator scales that you can offer to help keep your people happy and healthy. They will know that you are seriously trying to reinforce everybody’s health and well-being. Overall, it's a great way to foster loyalty within your team.
