A folder is a commonly used tool in offices around the
world. It acts as a container for important documents and protects them as
well. However, while most people only see them for what they are in practice,
marketing people and smart companies recognize their value as a marketing tool.
Personalized folders have the potential to be incredibly effective and powerful
brand awareness tools. This is where most people get confused because they do
not immediately see the potential. Sure you can go to the office store, buy a
stack of folders and they are useful but how does that translate into marketing
payoff? Well, it starts by realizing the in-store basics are designed to be
mass-produced and appeal to the masses. This means they are bland, neutral and
can be used in all industries. The modern personalized folder can be customized
to your exact specifications.
Major
Impact On Audiences
A
personalized folder can
be customized with any images, logos or information you want to post on the
exterior and interior of the folder. This becomes an incredible advantage when
handed out at trade fairs, presentations or to potential clients. As those
people walk around with them, they generate additional exposure for your brand.
Also, with a great external design the number of people who may ask about them
increases significantly. Your entertaining and personalized folders now act as
mobile billboards and a conversation piece rather than just a tool to hold
documents.
Memorable
Personalization
With a great design, you can create a very memorable
experience for the audience. An audience will remember your presentation, and
that will be capitalized on and reaffirmed with the folder they hold. Now
compare a great presentation with a boring store-bought folder, and you can see
why that may prevent brand recall. A presentation is visual, as is the folder,
which makes them a perfect pairing.
Expanded
Presence and Brand Recall
By having your company logo or your picture on the exterior
of the folder you will become more recognizable to people. The brand recall incited
by having your business image placed on
the cover is a major benefit to you. The more people recognize your brand,
especially those who are potential clients, the more trust they will have in
you. Trust is so crucial to the success of your business, and brand presence
and recall helps to create it.
There are certainly many other benefits to developing a
customized personalized folder for yourself
or your business. The customization is completely up to you and your own
marketing team. Not only is it a great tool for storing documents and
information for potential clients, but it also serves to promote your business,
create brand recall and generate additional impressions. Working with experts
will help you get the most out of your
personalized folders.
