Turn Customers into Brand Ambassadors

Tips for Creating Brand Advocates: Promotional Gifts for Loyal Fans

Posted March 15, 2018

When customers love your company, they want to be associated with your brand. How can you leverage this desire to turn loyal fans into brand ambassadors? One method is through tangible gifts that double as promotional materials.

While social media engagement and other relationship-building activities are essential, company swag can be a good way to show fans you care while giving them the tools to build brand awareness. T-shirts and hats are ideal for fans that want to wear your brand, and if you're looking for a special winter gift, consider a logo-bearing fleece. Brand advocates always appreciate something they can use, so consider giving out a few customized water bottles and mugs that bring your logo to the gym and the workplace.

Tech items let fans know you're on top of the times, so consider handing out branded earbuds, USB drives or even Bluetooth speakers to those extra-special customers. Of course, if you're looking for a please-all freebie, you can never go wrong with some custom-packaged food and beverages. Whatever you decide, consider searching our collection for freebies your brand ambassadors are sure to enjoy and appreciate.

Give Business Cards That Stick

Instead of handing out traditional cardboard business cards, consider giving out magnets with your company's important information. This makes it easy for customers to get in touch, and magnets are viewed multiple times day after day. Make sure they're strong enough to keep papers attached to the fridge.
