Spring Break Promotional Strategies: Making the Most of Custom Printed Items

As the winter frost begins to thaw and the days grow longer, the anticipation of spring break lingers in the air. For many, it’s a time to escape the routine, embark on adventures, and create unforgettable memories. It’s also an opportune moment for businesses to amplify their brand presence through custom printed promotional items. Spring break offers a unique window to showcase your company logo on products that travelers will carry and use throughout their journeys. We at The Odee Company give our hats away for reasons below.

Here’s why spring break serves as the perfect occasion to leverage custom promotional items:

  1. **High Visibility**: Spring break is synonymous with travel. Whether it’s a beach getaway, a ski trip, or a cultural expedition, people are on the move during this time. By offering custom printed items like tote bags, water bottles, sunglasses, or beach towels, your brand gains exposure in various destinations, capturing the attention of diverse audiences.
  1. **Enhanced Brand Recognition**: Promotional items serve as mobile advertisements for your business. When travelers sport your logo on their apparel or accessories, they inadvertently become brand ambassadors, extending your reach beyond traditional marketing channels. Each time someone uses your branded merchandise, it reinforces brand familiarity and strengthens customer loyalty.
  1. **Practicality and Utility**: The effectiveness of promotional items lies in their utility. Items like travel-sized sunscreen, luggage tags, power banks, or reusable water bottles are not only practical for travelers but also demonstrate your company’s commitment to enhancing their experience. By offering functional products that cater to travelers’ needs, you align your brand with positive associations and enhance customer satisfaction.
  1. **Memorable Impressions**: Spring break is a time for relaxation and enjoyment. By incorporating your logo into the fabric of the vacation experience, you create lasting impressions that resonate with your target audience. Whether it’s through branded apparel worn on excursions, custom beach balls tossed around on sandy shores, or personalized travel journals documenting adventures, your brand becomes intertwined with cherished memories.
  1. **Social Media Amplification**: In today’s digital age, every moment is an opportunity for social sharing. When travelers showcase your branded merchandise in their vacation photos or share experiences on social media platforms, it amplifies your brand’s visibility to a broader audience. Encourage user-generated content by running contests or incentives that encourage customers to share their spring break moments featuring your promotional items.

In conclusion, spring break presents a prime opportunity for businesses to elevate their brand visibility and engage with consumers through custom printed promotional items. By strategically selecting products that align with travelers’ needs and preferences, you can leave a lasting impression on your target audience while fostering brand loyalty and recognition. So, as the spring season approaches, seize the moment to showcase your company’s logo and make a memorable impact in the hearts and minds of travelers worldwide.

Does Direct Mail still work?

“Why send direct mail anymore?”
“The younger generation is into instant platforms like TikTok and Twitter!”

True. However:

A study by the USPS shows that Millennials are highly engaged with receiving mail:

https://www.uspsdelivers.com/millennials-and-mail-5-myths-and-the-truth-behind-them/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s great! Does the Post Office have anything that reaches out to the younger generation via technology?

Yes! Informed Delivery is a program that allows mailers to reach mail recipients that have signed up for Informed Delivery through e-mail.  Residents signed up for informed delivery receive a black and white image of every mail piece being delivered each day. Statistics show that the younger generations are signing up for Informed Delivery more than any other age group.  Mailers are allowed to set up an Informed Delivery campaign that turns those pictures into color and be posted at the top of the recipients daily USPS Informed Delivery email!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That seems complicated, can The Odee Company help?

Yes, and Yes!  It can be complicated but Odee has the experience in setting up Informed Delivery campaigns so it’s easy for you! Just provide us an image that is representative of the mail piece and an image directing the email recipient to your website and we do the rest. The day the mail piece is to be delivered – the USPS will email the two images to the recipient to notify them it’s in their mailbox and if they can’t wait, click the image to go to your web-site.

To be honest, I was really hesitant about the ‘green’ printing, but you have shown me that it’s not only possible, but awesome the way that the vibrant colors are displayed.

Thank you! We will definitely be using you guys again in the future! It was so nice to not have to think about anything, you guys came up with the art work, which looks great! Every other company we contacted wanted us to come up with the art work, I am sorry, I am not a designer! So it was so nice that you guys took care of that for us- and your cost is very reasonable… Some of the other companies wanted us not only to come up with our own artwork… but wanted to charge us a lot more than you guys! You were so professional and such a pleasure to work with… I just really wanted to write this email and say thank you!
Have a wonderful holiday!

I want to Thank You at Odee for the excellent service and the quality of the finished product you provided. As I mentioned in one of our conversations, communication with Odee was more responsive and direct than printers I contacted locally.
I was initially concerned that the distance between upstate New York and Dallas might hinder the kind of communication that would assure that the finished product would duplicate my original drawings exactly. …the final product exceeded my expectations.
George S.

From concept to the finished product, The Odee Company is an integral and indispensable member of our publishing team. We actively seek out and value all their input—from ideas to cautions to solutions to “you really won’t like the results from that approach.” Actually, none of us want to attempt our tasks without all of them being part of the project.

Heather J.

“We used Odee’s variable printing capabilities on the HP 3050 to produce a high end campaign designed to penetrate Fortune 1000 and major brand name organizations and connect with C-Level and VP-Level decision-makers. The response rate from this direct marketing effort was 16%, considerably greater than the industry average of less than 2% and well above the performance of past campaigns. Subsequently, it has yielded several multi-million dollar opportunities that our sales force is actively pursuing at this time.”
Heather R.

Thanks again for the team’s patience and hard work to get the books to me for our first big event. Everyone loves them. Especially me.

Thanks again for all of your help. We’re working on our new Omni Wall Charts. I should have them done by the end of next week, and I’ll be asking you for another quote and sending them your way.
