This is a great attention seeker for crowds and media and gives a good publicity to your business. If you are into manufacturing children’s products; you can hold a painting competition followed by rewards for the winners; you can have your company logo and address details on the rewarded items.

You are sure to get media attention; so you will generate news without spending on it. Besides, give away free kites with the relevant company details to the visitors.

Charity tie-ins –

If you are planning to launch a new product in a certain community segment; offer the product to a local charity as a part of a raffle prize or a fund raiser event. You will be able to successfully create visibility for your product among those who buy and / or attend the event.

Community service

Free hair cuts or hair setting

If you are launching a hair care product; you can promote a trial use for the product by holding a free cut and styling event in the areas where you have your stores or outlets; it will fetch you a lot of target customers and give your product a good launch.

Giveaways
