I received product free of charge, all opinions are my own and others will vary.
In February, my husband and I took the plunge and purchased a 3D printer. This new adventure is currently a hobby, however, we are hoping within in the coming years we can turn it into a small business. We have discovered that in order to turn our fun hobby into a small business, we need to advertise and get out in the community more to be seen and to help educate people about 3D printing.
We first booked a vendor event and then we started to print products to take. When the time arrived for the event, we took the machine to show those interested how everything worked. With this being our first event, we were prepared with products, however, we weren’t prepared with everything else.
Oriental Trading, has a wide range of products that will help all those small business owners be prepared when it comes time to promote their company. Whether you’re looking for affordable personalized products or products to draw in the crowd, Oriental Trading has you covered.
While the first vendor event didn’t receive the turn out all the vendors had hoped it would, my husband and I left there better educated on what to do differently. Recently, I had the opportunity to check out several different products that I thought would help better prepare us at our next vendor event.
I noticed we had no bags! How do we expect people to carry off their many treasures from our 3D printing booth without bags?!? Oriental Trading has big bags, small bags, medium bags, pink bags, black bags, purple bags, neon bags, and even blue bags. With our logo being blue, we went with blue bags.
We went with the extra small bags for the jewelry and medium bags for everything else. We noticed several kids at the event, so we wanted something to draw them in, while still promoting our business. So we also picked up some mini game books, bubbles, and stickers.
Of course, we want to advertise as much as possible and in every way we can, so we will be making labels using address labels to place on the back of the mini puzzle books.
However, that wasn’t all we felt we should have, what is one thing people use almost daily? Bingo! We also ordered some personalized pencils, we wanted away to have our name and website on a product that would be useful to others.
With getting personalized useful items for your company/brand you’re giving others a way to help you advertise your company, which in my opinion is a great advertising technique.
Now that we have bags, goodies for the kids, and useful advertising products we’re ready for our next event. With being a small family ran hobby/business, we also expect our daughter to help out with everything from setting up, to talking to potential buyers, and we cannot expect her to do this for free! Thankfully, Oriental Trading also has great items you can purchase to pay your children with!
Oriental Trading has everything you need to throw that awesome office party, pay your kids for their help, and to get those affordable personalized business products to help with promoting your company.
Make sure to follow Oriental Trading on all their social media channels, so you can stay up to date on any deals, sales, or clearance items they may have.
