Specialty Advertising: Adapting to New Marketing Strategies

Adapting to changes is the only way to ensure that your business thrives in Tampa. Both business models and advertising strategies need to change in order to adapt to the varying needs of their target market.  Included in these new strategies is specialty advertising.


ImageSpecialty advertising, one of the many forms of company promotions, deals with the distribution of promotional products or business gifts to employees, clients, and prospective clients to increase brand visibility. They normally come in items that have the company’s name and logo on them.  Some businesses even include mailing address, phone numbers, and websites on gift items. Compared to other forms of company promotions, specialty advertising has become increasingly popular among local businesses in Tampa because promotional products are not expensive yet they can immediately create brand recognition in the short run, and brand value in the long run.  

Promotional products under specialty advertising include pens, mugs, shirts, caps, key chains, calendars, and other items where important company information can be printed on. Marketing promotions of this type are better than mass campaigns because people tend to remember the brand that gave them something tangible as a gift and because a promotional item stays as a medium of advertisement as long as it is used by whoever received it. For instance, promotional pens can be used until it runs out of ink. Promotional calendars, meanwhile, can be used all year long. Think of the money you will be able to save in this type of advertising. One promotional item can achieve the advertising objectives of a dozen billboards and a thousand flyers that you might have used in one whole year. This cost-effectiveness is what makes specialty advertising very popular for small businesses.

Promotions through specialty advertising items can only be effective as a marketing medium once you follow these steps:

  1. Set your goals and objectives. If you want to advertise, have a clear goal and expectation in mind.
  2. Think of your target audience. These are the people that will buy your products or avail of your services. Get to know their needs and wants for an effective promotions campaign.
  3. Consider the distribution method that you will use.  Attention to distribution channels is essential. Any promotion will fail if it does not reach the right people.
  4. Last but not the least; choose the best company that manufactures promotional products. If you want to be remembered by top executives, you need to invest on quality promotional items.
