Convention Whiz
Lesson #11
Purchasing Promotional Goods
Written By Titmowse
Our previous lesson concentrated on sources where you can buy business cards and print materials for your adult business. In this lesson, we’ll focus on other types of promotional goods.
While it’s practically mandatory to hand out business cards or brochures, it’s almost as common for adult businesses to give away t-shirts, mousepads and other such promo goodies. Cool freebies can bring your business recognition and popularity among webmasters. Business cards get shoved deep in pockets. Brochures end up on the showroom floor, but a promo pen will be used for weeks. A coffee mug with your URL will be drunk from. A logo t-shirt will be worn. Your company’s free calendar will get looked at all year long. Cards are good. Print materials are good. A free beer mug is better.
So, what sort of items can you have personalized? Virtually anything you can imagine t-shirts, hoodies, stickers, mousepads, and flashlights, even boxer shorts. Your company’s logo can be printed on whatever you want and you’d be surprised at how inexpensively it can be done.
What’s more advantageous is you can shop for, create and buy promo items online. As with paper-printed merchandise, an adult webmaster need never leave their home to get what they need. The possibility of denial or public humiliation is avoided with online services. If you need promotional goods some adult-friendly sites are:
Branders
(http://www.branders.com)
Click on a product. Click on a color. Click on a logo and in no time flat, you've got your business name on anything from car mugs to mints.
E Promo
(http://www.epromo.com)
You have to email them in order to check out the goodies at this site but the fine quality of work is worth the extra effort.
Killer Promotions

Enter their store and find what you need with their easy search feature. Order anything from wine carafes to pocketknives to personalized watches.
Loco Logo

Visit these sites. Check out their offerings. Be creative in your choices. Think of goods that will be appreciated and noteworthy. When you attend your next webmaster convention, make a lasting impression. The power of words is enhanced when they appear on tangible goodies!
