Guide to Using Promotional Lip Balm in Marketing Activity
In the Australian climate outdoor activity is often accompanied by extremes of weather. Hot Summers, cold Winters, floods and droughts are all part of the equation. To successfully market or conduct outdoor events under these circumstances requires consideration of these issues and is a reason many Australian marketing companies have settled on the value of promotional lip balm as an all-round branding opportunity.
It's not necessarily the Summer heat and dryness which leads to chaffed lips and dry skin. In Winter the air becomes dryer and stronger which can more easily lead to drying and cracking of the lips even though the process does not seem so apparent. It's difficult for us to negate this fact of life in Australia and it's the reason that many marketers have discovered promotional lip balms are a marketing investment which pays off all year 'round. Lips are particularly subject to chaffing as the skin is thinner than at most points of environmental exposure
The first commercially prepared promotional ip balm was sold by Charles Browne Fleet in the 1880's. Little is known of the chemical composition of this product however it appears to have been supplied in a tub rather than a lipstick applicator as is common today.
What is Lip Balm made of?
Most lip balms are composed primarily of wax, generally beeswax and carnauba wax are the preferred options. The wax acts as a media for the other ingredients which are specifically chosen to counteract the effects of wind drying and chaffing. Other active ingredients which would be found in the majority of styles include camphor, cetyl alcohol, lanolin, paraffin and a range of coloured dyes depending on the flavour and aroma of the individual product. These occlusive materials used are added specifically to prevent further moisture loss and soothe existing points of exposure.
What marketing advantages does promotional lip balm offer?
Other than the across-the-board popularity of the product lip balm is popular because of it's cost effectiveness, year round application and the great range of colours and branding options available. A custom lip balm tube printed with a full colour logo is something people will carry with them for a long time and which has the opportunity to expand exposure of the message it caries well beyond the confines of the location in which it was distributed.
How much does promotional lip balm cost?
Like everything else it depends on the volumes. In large quantities lip balm generally costs around $1 a tube including the full colour wrap printing on the label. More expensive options are available as one sees in the cosmetic business. Similarly, it does not necessarily follow that the most expensive promotional lip balm provides the greatest relief.
Custom lip balms manufacture
One of the great advantages of branding these items is the across-the-board option to go with full colour wrap print. This produces a compact and effective branding device which is not intrusive and shows off a logo or marketing message to best advantage. Packaging and appearance is everything in the world of fashion and personal grooming and the branding available on the range of promotional lip balm is far superior to the general level of logo reproduction seen on pad printed and overprinted promotional merchandise.
Three ways to use promotional lip balm in marketing
Outdoor Events: If you're asking people to participate in a community event or fundraiser while the wind is whipping around the simple gesture of lip balm to keep them moisturised will be much appreciated and make sure people keep smiling rather than fear lip crazing if they stretch them too far.
Conferences: A memento of your event like a custom printed lip balm tube is a great way for every person to feel a connection and be reminded of the event into the future.
Completion Gift:After working towards a major project which is eventually completed a simple gift like a lapel badge handed out to every person involved in the process is a great way to reward the team and create a lasting memory of its achievements.
