Time-Saving Marketing Tips

In today’s fast paced business environment, time is a precious commodity.  So being able to market to customers (and prospective customers) in a jiffy is essential. Here are some things you can do in a hurry that can have a big impact:


Sales Flyers

We do the work…you get the credit! 

Every week, SanMar emails customers several sales flyers with our latest great deals.  When you see product that’s right for your customers, all you have to do is click a link at the bottom of the flyer, add your contact info, and send it to them.  We’ve even added the suggested retail price, which can be altered or taken off.

It’s fast, easy, professional…and a great way to boost sales.

Presentation
Boxes

Who doesn’t like to receive a gift? 

Give your customers a pleasant surprise…have us package your apparel and accessories in a beautiful presentation box featuring the Port Authority®, Sport-Tek™, Nike Golf and PING® Collection Apparel logos. Extra touches like this will not only win you customers, it will keep them coming back!


1-2-3 Search

It’s not enough to be a resource to your customer.  You need to be a quick resource for your customer.

The search function on SanMar’s online ordering helps you do just that.  When a customer calls looking for a royal blue sport shirt under $20, you don’t have to tell her you’ll check on it and call back.

Tell your customer what they need to know then and there!

1-2-3 search lets you find products by type, brand, price, color…you name it!  Not only that, but you can see “real time” availability of the product you’re looking for, as well as where it will ship from.  That way, if your customer’s in a hurry (what are the chances of that?) you can see if what they need is available for 1-day ship.

Custom
Websites

Making a custom website is quick?

Yep.

It takes no time at all to whip a simple custom website together with a cherry-picked collection of product for your customer.  Instead of sending your client a catalog (which takes time and isn’t tailored completely to their needs) use SanMar’s Custom Website Tool.

It’s fast, and impressive.

The Custom Website tool lets you get as detailed as you want (although those looking for a fast marketing solution will want to keep it simple). 

If you have a little bit more time, you can create a website for your customer.  For example, set up a school website that shows available athletic and spirit wear featuring the school’s name.  Use custom colors, logos, pictures, backdrops and more!

For more info on custom websites, give SanMar’s customer tech support a call at 800-426-6399 X4830.

SanMar has more than 50 pre-built flyers at your disposal that advertise a range of product—from tees to outerwear and accessories (and everything in between).

Why not use pre-built flyers as a way to keep at the forefront of your customers’ minds?

Send a pre-built flyer out once a week.  Pick a day, and stay consistent.  It will show your customers that you’re thinking of them, and the flyers may nudge them to purchase!

There’s a lot of competition out there.  To stay on top, it’s imperative for businesses to continually market themselves, and remain a resource for their customers.
