While some believe that you should cut back on marketing during slow economic times, savvy business people see this an opportunity.

Your job as a promotional products professional is to show your clients the benefits and cost effectiveness of promoting their businesses no matter what the economy. And what better way then through the use of a targeted, effective promotional product.

What's the best way to show the effectiveness of promotional products? Practice what you preach and self-promote.

Self-promotions will get you more business.Your clients will enjoy receiving gifts from you. Self-promotions open doors and get your clients thinking. They also keep your name in front of your best prospects.

Personally, I have received great results with food gifts, photo frames, comfortable grip pens and sticky notes. It 's always nice to see my company name on a client's desk. Better yet, many a self-promotion has turned into an order because the client liked it so much.

Brad Shuman, of Pro Specialties in San Diego, a participant in a workshop I gave at the ASI Show, sent me a thought provoking article with great self-promotion ideas. If you're looking for fresh, creative ideas.click here to read the article.
