Product of the Week: Pop Up Display Podium

Welcome to the Hasseman Marketing featured Product of the Week!  Our goal each week is to show you a piece of branded merch that we love…and give you 3 reasons to love it too!  This week we feature Pop Up Display Podium.  Watch this short video below.

Here are the 3 reasons we love the Pop Up Display Podium

So EASY:  Setting up your table for events can be a real pain sometimes.  With the Pop-Up Display podium, it takes a lot of the fight out of it.  It makes set up a snap!

Full-Color Imprint:  When it comes to having a display, you want to tell your story.  The full-color imprint allows you to tell that story however you want.  Have a full-color logo?  No problem.

Easy For Travel:  Because it breaks down into a small carrying bag, you and your team can take this anywhere.  Those big displays are cool and have a place.  But for those “pop up” events, this Pop Up Display Podium can be the perfect tool to promote your brand.

So that’s why we love the Pop Up Display Podium for our Hasseman Marketing Product of the Week!  Want to learn more?  Click here to start shopping today.

TARGET Marketing Framework

Targeted Marketing is an essential element for any business to thrive in today’s marketplace. The success of a business depends on how effectively it reaches its TARGET audience and how it positions itself as the go-to solution for the audience’s needs. You don’t want to target everyone.  It works to reach exactly the right type of person. Your customer.  That is why we at Hasseman Marketing have created this TARGET Marketing Framework.

Let’s talk about what TARGET stands for…and how you can implement it in your business.

T-Stands For Target

When working with clients, so many of them are stumped by the question, “Who is your perfect customer?”  Many of them are even a bit annoyed.  They will tell me that everyone is their customer.  To that, I always say “If everyone is your customer, no one is your customer.”  You just can’t market to everyone.  You don’t have the budget.  Spending the time to target that ideal customer can help you create a marketing message that reaches them…right where they are!

A-Is for Attract

The next step is to build your audience.  While many people understand that this means social media, they lose sight of building the list that they own.  Now is a great time to start to develop assets (like a lead magnet) that will help you start to build a list that you don’t rent…you own.

R-Is for Reach

Now is the time to expand your Reach.  Now that you have a way to collect information, it’s time to promote and create content across all of the platforms that your ideal customer likes.  Make sure you are not JUST selling.  Too many businesses create “content” that is just advertising.  Create content that provides value.  When you do that, you can create more content…and it will help to grow your reach.

G-Is for Go Get it!

Now it’s time to sell.  It’s time to “Go Get it!”  So many entrepreneurs and marketers leave money on the table because they are wishy-washy and don’t ask for a sale.  When you are providing value, just do that. But when it’s time to sell…go get it!

E-Is for Enthusiasm

Okay, so you have customers.  Now it’s time to build a brand.  It’s time to create enthusiasm for the brand.  Your organization can do this by creating an experience that dazzles the customer.  And one way to dazzle your customers is to show appreciation.  This is the perfect time to grow with your customers…and create a tribe that is loyal to your brand.

T-Is for Track

At this point, you have a lot of activity.  But what is working?  Now is the time to create a scoreboard in order to track the activities…and the results.

So there you have it.  These are the basic guidelines for the TARGET Marketing playbook.  Do you want the TARGET Marketing Playbook?  You can get that for FREE here.

And if you want to dig deeper still, please attend our latest webinar on the TARGET Marketing Playbook coming up on Thursday, May 4th at 2 pm.  Please click here to register!  We can’t wait to see you there!

6 Reasons To Attend Our Trade Show

It’s a tradition like no other.  For over 15 years, Hasseman Marketing has hosted an “End User” trade show and has invited our customers (and people who want to be customers).  It’s evolved and grown over the years and we are quite proud of it.  This year’s event will be Thursday, October 12th from 11 am to 3 pm at NewPointe Community Church…and we are fired up about it already!

The event started simply as a “customer appreciation event” and we still use it to dazzle our VIPs.  But we have expanded the and now call it our annual Trade Show (you can register here).  This year the theme is “A Night at the Movies.   It’s certainly a fun party…but we get business done too!

But why should you come?  We want this event to be fun AND add a ton of value.  Here are 6 reasons to attend The Hasseman Marketing Trade Show.

Incredible Product Access

We invite some of our top (and favorite) supplier reps to showcase their lines at the show.  I like to say “There is no way I could fit all of this in my trunk.”  You get to see and touch and feel the product and see what it’s really like.  We all know that many products look the same online or in a catalog.  But when you get them up close you can really see a difference.  This is the perfect place to make sure your brand materials are on point.

Idea Generation

As you walk around and see the latest and greatest in Promo, you will come up with some great ideas for upcoming projects.  The reality is, the show is at a great time of year for year-end gifts for your team or customers.  But some of our best customers come every year and start to plan their marketing for the next year and beyond.

Great MERCH

Nobody leaves empty-handed!  We put on a fun event where (with the help of our suppliers) we invest in putting some really cool SWAG in your hands.  In addition, we build the event around a theme so you can see how we use a bunch of different items around a theme!

Additional Services

You may think you know all that we do at Hasseman Marketing, but we find that most people discover new ways to promote their organization!  Having all of the ideas in one place can be very illuminating!  For example, did you know we do website development or in-house print services?  We do.  And you can find out more about them at the event.

Tasty Food

You have to eat right?  We have food and drinks as well.  Each year we get compliments about the tasty treats and we know this year will be no different. The event this year is on Thursday, October 12th from 11 am to 3 pm at NewPointe Community Church in Coshocton County.   Our goal is to create an event that provides value and fun…and you never want to miss.

New Location

And yes, we are going to have it at a new location this year!  We are excited about the space…and we think you will be too!

So please join us on Thursday, October 12th.  The event is from 11 am to 3 pm, so just come when you can!  And if you register here, you will get additional goodies and VIP treatment.

Product of the Week: Super Soft T-Shirt

Welcome to the Hasseman Marketing featured Product of the Week!  Our goal each week is to show you a piece of branded merch that we love…and give you 3 reasons to love it too!  This week we feature a Super Soft T-Shirt that everyone will love.  Watch this short video below.

Here are the 3 reasons we love the Super Soft T-Shirt

Everyone Loves A T-Shirt:  When you are creating a campaign of any kind, a t-shirt is a great place to start.  They can act as uniforms, status symbols, or serve as a way to show allegiance.  A t-shirt (done right) is an item that nearly everyone will love.

Soft Soft & Comfy:  And when we say “done right,” we also mean comfy.  We know that there is a place for those less expensive t-shirts.  But if you want an item that everyone will love, a soft, comfy t-shirt will get worn all of the time.  And isn’t that the point?

Message On The Front:  Finally, more and more, we are seeing brands not just slapping their logo on the front of cool merch.  Take your merch up a notch by putting a fun or inspiring message on the front of the t-shirt…and your brand on the back.  By putting your brand in the backseat, you will create a t-shirt that will be at the front of your customer’s wardrobe!  That’s what we did here…and people offer to PAY us for this one!

So that’s why we love the Super Soft T-Shirt for our Hasseman Marketing Product of the Week!  Want to learn more?  Click here to start shopping today.
