Above And Beyond Promotion

Best small businesses for promotional products?

What types of small businesses benefit more from promotional products, aka (specialty advertising) as a marketing strategy?

What are creative promotional/advertising ideas?

So I need to come up with a promotional item for this model I’ve made as if it was being sold in the real world.

It needs to be something like a poster, bus stand ad, t-shirt, leaflet, website banner, etc. which promotes the product, but I want something more creative. I can’t think of anything though. It has to be practical, as in something I could fairly easily photoshop my advert or model or whatever onto.

Thanks in advance.
haha. It’s not a real product. It’s for my graph comm project at school.

It’s a Sonic Screwdriver from Doctor Who.

Sections 6-9 must include:
The suggested approach for this part is to ensure Objectives, Strategies and Tactics are discussed
for each element of the marketing mix.
OBJECTIVE:
Objectives are simply the goals. The objective provided here would be one of the promotional (advertising) objectives for the new brand.
Example: Create awareness of the brand and achieve a 5% market share within the specified market segment.
STRATEGY:
Strategies are broad plans of action which companies develop to help them attain their objectives.
Example: Use non-traditional advertising
TACTICS:
Tactics are more detailed courses of action than strategies.
Example: Focusing on the Internet as a medium and using celebrities from extreme sports in ads with a humorous twist would satisfy the criteria of non-traditional advertising.

Tissue-Pack Advertising, does it work?

I am looking for new ways to promote our product and came across the Tissue Marketing idea that allows us to put our brand and marketing message on a pack of tissue paper to be handed out to people on the street or at a event.

I want to sell this idea to my boss, but I am not sure how it will work in L.A. and New York. The promotional idea is big in Japan, but they also have a different way (culture) of doing things than here in the USA.

Have you used this promotional tactic in the past and did it worked for you?
