Branded Octopus Suction Coolie for promotions

Promotional Gift for boats - Octopus Suction Coolie

Do you own a bass boat?  Stuck on the back platform next to the outboard with nothing but marine carpet to set your wobbly can on?  Just set the OSC on the top of the outboard and no worries…this material is made of flexible PVC with no possibility of damaging or scratching gel coat, fiberglass, metal, Plexiglas, glass, or any other surface.

Ever been on a sail boat with cup holders cut into the top of the cabin cover?  Me neither!  Just set your OSC anywhere that suction cups stick and voila, your drink stays in place.  Waves, choppy water, slowly cruising; no worries…the OSC has the answer.  All in an inexpensive, quality product designed for multifunction use to keep your beverage cold and in place.

The beauty of this product is that while not being used to keep your drink in place, the OSC can still stand perfectly fine without using the suction cups to hold it down.  That’s right…you can replace all of your flimsy, old beverage insulators with the more functional Octopus Suction Coolie®.

Scanning QR codes with iphone

To make your promotional items more original, ODM offers you the possibility of printing a QR code (Quick Response Barcode) onto them.  On reception of their gift, customers simply need to scan the code using their phone. This will allow customers to access a message or song you have designed for them.

What we appreciate with this new idea is the fact that no matter what type of promo gift you chose the QR code can easily be added to customize it. What’s more, the messages you send them via the QR code are open to creativity and could be used for all sorts of purposes :

• Group Greetings and wishes (Christmas, New Year, CNY, Thanksgiving, Valentine’s day, etc)
• Individualized messages or songs (Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc)
• Thank you notes for attending your brand’s big events (trade shows, promotional events, sponsored events, etc.)

poncho ball keychain promotional gift

rugby ball keychain promotional gift

One could imagine all sorts of different shapes for the key rings, depending on which industry your company works in. For example if you work in sports why not chose a soccer ball, a rugby ball or a basket ball.

Of course this promo could be used in other industries too. Basically anything in relation with outdoors, that is to say with rain, will fit!

We appreciate this promotional item for several reasons :

• highly practical : no need to take a bulky umbrella out with you, just take a key ring in case of rain
• easily branded : just print your logo on the poncho and the gift turns into the perfect advertising agent
• low costs as its a standardized product
• multifunctional : a raincoat, a key chain and a souvenir

On Pack Vodka Promo - Tabasco bottle

This promotional gift campaign was actually very ingenious. Zirkova, an American vodka producer knows that its clients frequently make a the popular Bloody Mary cocktail. So it decided to promote this practice in its marketing strategy.

It now gives its customers a mini bottle of Tabasco sauce, one of the key ingredients, along with each bottle of Vodka.  The little bottle of Tabasco serves as a incentive to purchase item.

Here is one we found at a posh wine stand : a mini wine barrel. The barrel was made out of wood. It could be filled with wine that you could then serve thanks to the attached tap.

Though more costly to make than your basic promotional item, we thought it could make a great gift for :

• restaurants that carry your wine
• your company’s top customers
• a lucky draw
• a fundraising event etc.

ODM Promotional Products

Therefore, marketing Promotional Products has become a core pillar in ODM’s business. But what does this implicate? How do we go about marketing Promotional Products?

ODM  uses a complete marketing mix based on these following tools:

• E-marketing : websites & blogs
• Social media marketing
• Trade shows
• Partnerships
• Design

E-marketing

The first element in our marketing strategy is undoubtedly the internet. Indeed, e-marketing is the most efficient way of marketing to a wide range and number of customers, abroad or just close by, and this using a wide variety of methods including email, audio, video, blog, and social media.

Green Promo Products - ODM Green

ODM has developed over 30 different promotional products websites, some with over 5000 products listed on their databases.

Many are focused on particular promo product categories whereas others are broader and cover Promotional Gifts Marketing strategies in general.  We create valuable in-links and out-links to customers and partner websites .

We animate our websites via our blog posts. ODM has been writing daily promotional products blog posts here on the ODM Group website for years.  Whether its through posts written by our employees, Promotional Product fans, our partners or the interesting comments they attract, you can learn all you need to know about the Promotional Product market in an interactive and dynamic way.

Don’t hesitate to keep up to date on what is going on thanks to our blogs and websites.

Social Media Marketing

ODM is equally a big user of social media marketing. There are some that think “social media marketing” is just the latest buzz phrase in marketing, but the truth is it is a new venue that you can use to market and promote your products and services. Social media centers around interaction with colleagues, potential customers as well as current customers. Main utensils of this marketing mix are Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin or Foursquare.

Problem: There are times when customers can’t or do not wish to finish their beer in one sitting. However, leaving it open till later or till next day would mean that the beer loses all its carbonation – simply put, the taste turns bad.

Solution: Silicon Bottle Caps. A great way to preserve the freshness of your beer, it keeps opened bottles fizzy for up to 24 hours.

Designed with a snug fitting rim, it helps to keep the beer’s bubbles from escaping and locks out odour and dirt from the outside. This is especially useful in bars or clubs, protecting your beer from getting spiked.

Above this, the ingenious concept also doubles as a reusable beer charm to identify and differentiate opened bottles with its multi-coloured options.

Your Logo here: Printing & Deboss/Emboss

Since these bottle caps are reusable (being dishwasher safe), branding your logo (printing, deboss/emboss) on the cap allows for a long-term marketing. Using them at parties creates deep ad-impressions amongst people who spot the cool promo.

Beer Promos

Maintaining the bubbly goodness of your beer elevates the drinking experience for your customers. With a positive brand association like this, customers will naturally choose your beer over others. We reckon this would work perfectly with sodas as well…

Use the silicon bottle cap as an on pack gift to gain shelf space!

• Custom Glassware Promos

• Bottle Cap Dartboard - goes well with this promo…
