Using Promotional Chocolates and Personalised Sweets To Generate Business
Personalised Chocolates are one of the best promotional gifts to send to a client and generate goodwill towards your corporate brand. Why? Well everyone loves chocolates and the ranges available today mean that there is generally a chocolate product, be it a chocolate bar, box of chocolates or individually wrapped pieces to suite any budget and client.
Off course the same principles apply to promotional sweets, however there is a difference. Whilst promotional sweets such as wrapped boiled sweets, sweet bags and even lollipops are considered as general promotional giveaways, there is something more indulgent about promotional chocolates. Simply put promotional chocolates somehow have more of a premium image.
Another distinguishing factor is the fact that chocolates vary in their texture and taste. Clients can off course choose from milk or dark chocolates, or even white chocolate. In addition it is now possible to provide Fair Trade and organic ingredients, in addition to fruit and nuts that may also be incorporated to create pralines and other specific items.
Traditionally chocolates are also associated with our seasonal holidays like Christmas and Easter when specially packaged promotional products sell very well. Here are are talking about promotional advent calendars and promotional Easter Eggs.
Personalised sweets on the other hand tend to be used more for tradeshows and conferences, seminars and exhibitions – and hence their token giveaway role as lower cost promotional items. Promotional mints also tend to lie in this category of promotional confectionery. A key factor with these types of products is that they are supplied in larger production volumes and a client may opt to have them supplied sugar-free.
Another important consideration when selecting between promotional chocolates and personalised sweets or mints is off course ‘handling’. Chocolate melts in ‘warmish’ temperatures and it is for this reason alone that they are generally less suited to mass distribution as giveaways at corporate events. Individually wrapped boiled sweets, chewy candies and lollipops are more appropriate and if children are involved, less likely to cause a mess.
