August 8th, 2014 Show Notes – What the Customer Sees Marketing Discussion
Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. This week Terry and Aaron have a Google Hangout to talk about What the Customer Sees and dig into the marketing side of our industry. Many of our customers never see our real production facilities, so all they know of us is our product and our presentation. We covered subjects ranging from boxes to business cards, from price sheets to promotional products. It was a lively and very informative conversation to help you promote your own business.

What the Customer Sees
Lots of our customers never actually see our production facility. All they see from us is often our production and our promotion. Let’s talk about what the customer sees…
Business Cards
Your business card says who you are, and beyond your vital information. A crisp, professional look will give the customer the impression that you will also be professional.
Email Address
It’s always a bit amazing to see a professional business card, with a website listed, but the email address is something like John48359@somefreeservice.com.
Price Sheet
Positive approach…
Promoting Your Business with Promotional Products
Aaron – thoughts here?? Giveaways that keep giving??
The Package
By package, we’re referring to what your customer sees when they come on the appointed day to pick up their printed shirts (or receive them through UPS). This is an opportunity for you to leave a lasting impression on that customer.
Printer fold…
bags…
These shirts look awesome!
Boxes
Here’s a little secret about printed boxes…
T-shirt or hat in the box
for a $ or two 100s, 1,000s of views!
Hangtag & Stickers
Your Logo on the Sleeve
