Communicating with your intended market can be done in a variety of ways. However, these ways and means are often expensive. For small businesses, sponsored events are much too expensive.

When capital is in danger of being spent elsewhere, then the advertising becomes bad business in itself.

Advantages

The perceived advantages of using giveaways in place of other advertising methods are the following:

1. If you are strapped for cash, then the gift can be simply small, useful items.

Cardholders and key chains are still important items that people use on a daily basis. Print your business's name on these items and watch as your business line becomes busy with activity.

2. These types of items add a very personal touch to your approach in business. Often they are kept for a long time.

Imagine people's sons and daughters growing up seeing your business's name. Now that is simply good marketing.

3. Direct communication is key to business success and profit.

Using this type of advertising directly communicates with consumers and people literally take 'a piece of your business' home with them.

4. You can exercise your creativity with the products used.

In the event that you have special events, left over items may just be reprinted to serve the purpose of advertising specific events. Other than that, nothing goes to waste.

5. You can handpick your market this way. The most important thing is that you can actually access and use of promotional gifts, other market territory.

If you wish to directly compete with another business in another part of a city for example, you can gain part of the market through use of such products.

The trick is showing that you can provide better goods and services than the other business. It still is fair competition and it would encourage growth for all businesses concerned.
