These are the best steps to follow whenever making a business marketing related purchase or investment. When it comes to custom logo printed drink bottles this process will guarantee you select the right item and get the maximum return on your financial investment.
Promotions Benefits of Using Branded Water Bottles
One of the great benefits of adding your branding to a custom brink bottle is the fact that everyone needs to drink to survive! And beyond that it’s a pleasurable activity as consumption of our favourite refreshing beverages is a pleasant break in the day almost everyone enjoys. Australia is a harsh, dry land and anyone who ventures onto the great outdoors would be advised to carry with them an effective means of transporting water. It’s this general interest and utility which ensures every custom printed drink bottle you hand out is likely to find a long-term use. But more than that, really effective promotions not only satisfy the intellect, they have an emotional component which can create a long lasting positive disposition towards your brand. As your clients take a cool sip of water from a promotional drink bottle you have provided, the chance is that some of that satisfaction will rub off on your brand image.
Besides their obvious utility, custom water bottles have another great advantage. Longevity. The sweet spot for all marketing is a calculation of the number of impressions a branded item or representation of your brand can make on a prospective client. If something lasts a day, it has to have its full effect in 24 hours. But hand out a custom branded metal drink bottle which lasts a decade, and every day your logo will be doing its subtle work to remind the lucky owner that your company is there when they need you.

Wide acceptance and appeal are excellent qualities in a promotional item as it is a chance to maximise your return on investment and reduce potential wastage by way of unused goods.

Office Workers: Even though they may be sitting indoors and enjoying the controlled, air conditioned environment, office workers re still subject to dehydration.

Minimum Drink Bottle Order Quantities
Minimum order quantities vary depending on the style of bottle you choose. In general the minimum quantities shown on this website are the smallest order quantity we can provide. This number is mandated by the wholesalers and printers who complete the order and is unfortunately generally out of our hands. It may sometimes be possible to make up a minimum order with multiple colours of the same product. This will generally be outlined in the product details.
Bottle Order Payment and Insurance Options
Unless agreed otherwise, payment for promotional bottle orders should be made shortly after approval of the production proof to ensure a timely delivery of your order. For government and public institutions products can be invoiced and shipped on account, however please ask in advance if this is required.
Building Brand Awareness
Success in marketing and promotions is more an art than a science. Consumers and the overall market for goods and services are not necessarily rational or predictable. What works today, may fail the next so the successful marketer is always open to new ideas. But what does work in the long term is persistence, so the pattern of ensuring your marketing and promotions messages are constantly being exposed to potential buyers is the best way to be on the list of potential suppliers when a purchasing decision is in the offing. This is a perfect example of the advantages which logo personalised drink bottles offer as marketing tools. Because a drink bottle with logo has a long life of simple utility putting it in the hand of somebody who may one day purchase your products ensures that your contact details will always be on hand, and even better, if the bottle you have handed out is appreciated, a positive disposition towards your brand will develop in the mind of the consumer. The marketing game, particularly if you are hoping to be around for the long-haul, is a slow but steady proposition. In this respect custom branded water bottles are the perfect device to win friends for your brand and influence marketing decisions in the long-term.
Increasing Customer Loyalty
Business is about relationships and successful long-term relationship building is the goal of all credible marketing activity. Often it can be the case that the first sales acquisition is revenue neutral or may even cost more than it returns in gross profit, so continual reordering and long-term business association is a necessity.
