M&M's = Memorable Marketing

 Print

Posted by: David Kotowski on Aug 15, 2009 01:00

I love bringing candy filled gift bags with me when I visit businesses near our apartment communities as part of an outreach marketing program.  I've been doing it so long it's something that I don't have to think about when planning marketing visits.  I usually have to put some thought into updating promotional flyers.  However, a cellophane bag of candy tied with a ribbon (holding a business card, of course) doesn't change... but maybe it should.

 

The bag itself is fine.  So is the ribbon.  The candy could be better. What if it could help communicate my brand and my message?

 

Whoa. :)

 

My next gift bags are going to be filled with customized M&M's.  Apparently everyone's favorite ‘melt in your mouth, not in your hand' treats have been available with personalized images and messages since 2004 (I can't believe I hadn't thought of this already).

 

You can visit mymms.com for more information and to order.  In addition to ordering as many loose candies as you desire, you can also visit their Business page for cool customized packaging products.

 

Before you order be sure to check the Sunday paper for coupons.  I recently found some earlier this month (thus prompting my interest in the product).

 

Happy Leasing!
