3 Ways to Flex Your Brand With Custom Hats

Branded items, like custom hats, offer benefits that other types of marketing materials can’t. Unlike a TV or radio spot, whose effects can be short-lived, quality merch items are keepsakes. Months after the promotion ends, your merch continues to be worn. It flexes your brand without incurring any extra ad costs. If you’ve considered ordering branded merchandise, here are three ways to market with it.

Complimentary Merch for Customers Equals Walking Billboards for You 

If you want to extend your brand’s reach and build goodwill among existing customers, consider giving them complimentary, high-quality merch, like custom design snapbacks. Customers who wear the branded merch become walking billboards for your business. What’s more, stunning visuals combined with quality embroidery speak to potential customers in ways that other forms of advertising may not.

Encourage Customers to Collect Limited-Run Merch 

Limited-run merch for events, like restaurant pop-ups, can add serious cash to a business’s bottom line. This is particularly true if the merch, like customized snapback hats, won’t be sold anywhere else and will be discontinued once the event ends. The power of this technique comes down to FOMO. Owning one of these hats puts customers in an exclusive club.

Create Merch for a Brand Collaboration

Piggyback marketing combines the advertising dollars and the mailing lists of two non-competing, but complementary businesses. Often, the marketing collateral from the collaboration is branded merch and is part of a larger function, like a product release. Here’s how it works. Get custom made snapback hats with both brands’ logos and add the hats to press kits or sell them at event booths.

To reach both brands’ customers and generate hype for the collab, there should be secondary advertising, such as email marketing. Businesses participating in the campaign can offer a discount on the event-related merch to their mailing lists. This gives the campaign and the custom hats even more mileage.
