The major holiday season came and went. No more wrapping paper and packing peanuts flooding your office closets. No more confetti and champagne corks left to sweep out from under your desks. You’ve now entered the down-season where spending decreases and everyone falls into the winter blahs. Now what do you do to keep your company sharp and exciting? Create a giveaway schedule that recognizes the lesser celebrated months and holidays.

In an annual marketing campaign, maintaining awareness through traditional advertising can get difficult during down-times and off seasons. Flighting during this time drops and the consumers see less of your brand. Also, your traditional ads begin to lose their initial edge due to overexposure of the same advertisement if it does not have an evergreen theme. Finding a way to keep the attention of your clients can get difficult if you don’t take a different approach. Promotional products can shake things up a bit and bring more excitement during the slower month. Not only do they add excitement, promotional products in general, can increase and strengthen awareness and remind your clients exactly why they love you.

Sure you can go along with industry trend and send out promotions for Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day and Cinco de Mayo. When you choose the right product, these holidays can prove a successful time to profit. However, think outside of the box and correlate your promotional product with the theme of a given month so you can stand out in the memories of the clients. If you don’t have a large enough budget to have a monthly schedule for giveaways and then start with three or four of your favorite months and products.

Consider the following when investing in a non traditional annual giveaway schedule:

February: Responsible Pet Owner Month

Choose a product that rewards both the owner and the pet, while at the same time reminding your clients about your dedication and appreciation to them.
