Analogous Color Scheme:

Analogous colors are adjacent to one another on the color wheel. For example, green and yellow color combinations are analogous. This scheme works great for creating harmony and unity in your design.

Triadic Color Scheme:

Triadic colors are equally spaced across the color wheel and come in groups of three. Your primary colors-red, yellow, and blue-are the prime example of a triadic scheme. These colors often convey variety.

No matter which promotional products you choose for your marketing campaign, you can take your branding and customer engagement even further with the following tips:

Include Your Social Media

Include your social media handles on the items. Most teens and adults have at least one social media account. If you do not already have a business page, now is the time to make one and increase brand awareness. We can print your handle or page name on promotional items. Just give us the handle you use on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media platform you would like to promote.

Add Your Website URL

When somebody wants to know more about a business, they go online! We can include any website URL on any type of promotional item. This is a great way to increase website traffic. A URL added to a tote bag or tee shirt can generate quite a bit of traffic to your website.

Choose a QR or Coupon Code

We also recommend that you add a QR code or a coupon code to promotional items. These codes inspire consumers to take a desired action, such as visiting your website. Consumers are more likely to make a purchase when they have an incentive, such as a discount on their purchase.

We create fun and eye-catching promotional products that you can give away to customers and members of the community. In addition to printing your business name and logo or your own name and campaign logo on the items, we have some additional ways to help you advertise your business. Consider incorporating one or more of our great tips into your next order of promotional products! Call us today at (210)699-3800 or email sales@alamotees.com to get your order started.
