In the current economic climate, employee bonuses are often hard to come by for most businesses, but it’s still necessary to keep your workforce motivated and performing as necessary. From an employee perspective, there is nothing worse than working hard and not being recognized when going above and beyond your normal duties. People love to be recognized for their achievements; and not being recognized can be extremely detrimental to employee morale and affect overall company performance and profits. Oftentimes, lack of recognition, not lack of financial compensation, is a huge factor in employee dissatisfaction. There is no better way to increase employee performance than recognizing individuals for a job well done than providing some sort of employee recognition or corporate awards program that provides gifts or tokens of appreciation.

Tips for Achieving Success at a Tradeshow or Convention with Promotional Products
Tradeshows and conventions are still an important part of many companies’ marketing and sales strategies, and you need to stand out among the crowd with unique promotional products, compelling marketing materials, and leave a lasting impression.
Despite the declines that tradeshows and conventions experienced in the mid-2000s, according to ExpoWeb magazine, “moderate but steady momentum in the [trade show] industry has been building [in] the last couple years.” It’s still one of the best ways for companies to display and showcase their products and services face-to-face with potential new customers in their target markets. However, before you jump in (or jump back in) to the tradeshow and convention arena, here are a few questions to keep in mind: Continue reading Tips for Achieving Success at a Tradeshow or Convention with Promotional Products
But it Is Easy Being Green!
Just about everyone can agree that protecting the environment is important, and it’s no secret that many are taking steps to do so. Businesses are noticing this trend and working toward being recognized as environmentally friendly. For some companies, like Whole Foods or Patagonia, being green is part of their image, but even companies that don’t have to go green for PR purposes are doing it.
Companies go green for many reasons. They may recognize that being viewed as an environmentally friendly company can attract business. They may wish to go green to protect themselves from environmental liability. They may realize that reducing energy use also reduces cost. Or they may anticipate rising oil prices or oil shortages and seek alternative forms of energy. No matter the reason a company chooses to go green, the growing number of companies that are doing so is exciting.
Some companies insist that their environmental friendliness doesn’t stop at their front doors. These companies also choose to do business only with other companies that have a similar interest in protecting the environment. If you’re trying to partner with a company like this, promotional giveaways, as with any other company, are important because they help you stay top of mind and project a certain image. But if the company you’d like to partner with is environmentally friendly, you have to promote an environmentally friendly image as well. Leaving behind green promotional products will show your potential customer that you care about the same things they do.
Consider leaving a reusable water bottle with your logo on it. Every time your client or potential client quenches his thirst while reducing his use of disposable cups, he’ll think of you. Or leave your client with a notebook made of recycled paper or let her take a break in a busy workday by playing with a toy made of eco-friendly bamboo.
Showing clients and potential clients that you share their values is a great way to open doors, and by choosing custom printed eco-friendly items, you’re also helping the planet. Contact BRAVA Marketing Promotions today and we’ll help you project the right image to your clients.
