Marketing and advertising are a big part of promoting your company or business.
With the economy being in such a downturn the past two years, it is more important than ever to have your business be known to a wide range of customers in order to be successful.
Traditional methods of advertising can be costly and more and more companies are now choosing alternative methods to get their name out there.
Whether it is by helping to sponsor a large activity or a charity event with corporate gifts, by having your name put on the different banners and t-shirts or by giving away promotional merchandise, at a place where people would likely be interested in your business.
Sporting events have really used the support and monetary assistance from corporations to sponsor events, or even a new stadium.
It is now quite common for a lot of major sports teams to have their venue be named after the main corporation that helped to sponsor that place.
For example, the Denver Nuggets play at the Pepsi Center and the Denver Broncos now play at Invensco Field.
These are both the names of companies that have helped to pay to have their name be known to a wide variety of sports fans that will go to that venue to see their favorite team play.
Obviously, large sponsorships like this are limited to large and economically well off corporations that have the money to put their names on such a big place.
Another way, smaller businesses can get their name out there in the sporting world without having to have as much money is to be a sponsor of an event like a marathon or even a smaller 5K in their area.
Running races have become extremely popular and to organize many of these events for charitable purposes can be expensive.
Now race organizers rely on donations from local or national businesses to handle the bulk of the expenses.
In return for the sponsorship, the business has their names put on all promotional items that are related to the race like t-shirts, banners and other things.
The bigger the race, the more advertising for your business you will get.
Other ways to advertise your business is to sell additional promotional items to sell.
Retail stores and restaurants usually do this and sell quite a bit of merchandise for their places at their actual place of business.
One good example of a highly coveted items are the hard Rock Café t-shirts that have the location of the restaurant on it and can only be purchased at those restaurant locations.
This has made that group of restaurants a great additional income.
Another way businesses may advertise their companies in an unique way is to offer free giveaways if a customer purchases something or even simply comes to the place of business.
For example, a car dealership can offer free tote bags with their dealership name on it for the first 500 people to test drive their newest car in stock.
