Keeping it Cool with Custom Fans

Are you coming up blank for your next promo item? Do you want something useful that will stand out? Branding your business properly is crucial for its success. How do you get in front of more people? By giving them something fun and useful!
Try custom fans. They are inexpensive, useful, and fun. Fans make great gifts for trade shows, sporting events, outdoor events, campaign materials, and educational materials. Personalize your fans with a full-color graphic of your business for the most awareness or use them to grab attention with funny images, unique phrases, or other eye-catching graphics.
Who Should You Use Custom Hand Fans?
You may wonder how a custom fan would help your brand marketing. Anyone can use them – people of all ages, demographics, and needs use fans. Consider fans if you want to:
- Keep your audience cool - Whether you give them away at an outdoor sporting event or indoor venue! When there are crowds, it’s hot, especially in today’s environment with masks. We all overheat quickly, making fans something most people will appreciate and use.
- Provide something useful -Again, if your audience is hot, they’ll use the fan. With the eye-catching graphics and branding, you get more awareness out there. People use fans indoors and outdoors, increasing your chance of more than just a few people seeing the branding.
- Show you care - How many times have you been to an event and see someone handing out fans. What’s your first thought? You get in line to grab one, right? Wouldn’t you love to be ‘that business,’ the booth that everyone flocks to because they want what you have? This creates a positive impression of your company even before they know what you do or sell. It’s a great first impression.
- Provide a reusable product - Most people keep hand fans around. They don’t throw them out the minute they get home. People use fans time and again, and when they pull it out, it’s a great reminder of your company, creating brand loyalty in the future.

Reasons to use Custom Fans
Have you considered using custom fans or are you still not sure? Here are the top reasons our clients use them:
- They are inexpensive. Many companies have a tight marketing budget, but most can fit in the cost of custom fans. They have a great return on investment, especially when you brand them well enough that more than just your recipients see the branding.
- Fans catch the eye. Stretching your marketing dollars over a variety of mediums helps increase your return on investment. Social media advertising, flyers, and mailers are all great, but they don’t reach everyone. Many people ignore written advertisements, but when you give something useful, such as a fan, they use the product without realizing the subliminal messages they receive.
- Fans are universally useful. Everyone uses fans at some point. Most people keep them handy for those times they are hot, not just at the event. Even if they’re for one-time use, such as at a sporting event or other outdoor event, they do their job, keeping everyone cool and getting your company at the forefront of more minds than traditional marketing allows.
- Fans are fun. Most marketing materials don’t show off your ‘fun side.’ Fans give you a chance to ‘be cool.’ Whether you choose a funny shape fun, such as the Emoji Hand Fan, or you keep it simple. Fans offer a ‘silly side’ to marketing that you rarely get to use.
Custom fans are cool. (See what we did there!)
They keep your audience cool, and they help your marketing efforts. They don’t require a large investment and they make marketing fun. Whether you market to kids, adults, or seniors – everyone appreciates the thoughtfulness of a fan while you can use your marketing strategies to build your business.
