Why Branded Mints and Candy For Your Business is a No-Brainer

Customized mints and candy are a fantastic and versatile way to promote any type of business! They can be placed and shown anywhere for any occasion including; meetings, tradeshows, mailing promotions, events, holidays, gift baskets, goody bags, lobby areas, and fundraisers. They are very customizable, with choices from a variety of different flavors and colors. With both sides of the wrapper useable, you have a great opportunity to convince the customer to employ your business, with logos, slogans, phone numbers, e-mails, website addresses, street addresses, a custom message, patterns, and the application of an entire spectrum of color.


Recent research with customers of businesses that offered mints reported that 71% of customers felt more valued, 61% were more likely to return and recommend the business to others, and 69% felt more highly of the business. Taste and smell are also two of the strongest senses used in the recollection of memory. Research published by The Washington Post showed that peppermint stimulates the brain, improving memory and increasing alertness while helping it relax. Meaning mints will make your business more memorable! It is proven that complementary mints and candies improve and grow your business!


Custom-wrapped mints and candies are a low-cost way for businesses to make a statement, establish loyalty and create a lasting impression. The small mints make a big impact when you have tens, hundreds, or thousands ending up in the stomach and pockets of your customers daily. Someone doesn't have to have ever been to or know of your business to make an impression with custom wrapper packaging. Maybe a stray wrapper has fallen onto the ground near a trash bin. Someone will pick it up, be curious, and read the content, before throwing it away. Leaving them thinking about your business!



A List of How Custom Mint and Candy Wrappers Can Be Used To Promote Your Business:


1. Elevate Brand Recognition

- We recognize many things mostly by colors, images, and words associated with it. Use your logo and colors and make your candies and business memorable.


2. Help Customers Share Tailored Messages

- Think Taco Bell sauce packets. Use messages like "Thanks" "Good choice" "Pick me" or let them have fun and write their own message! This encourages sharing and will spread your brand!


3. Promote Key Priorities

- Such as catering, gift cards, loyalty programs, e-stores, social media and more. Get your message and business priorities out there with the easy traveling small candy/mint!


4. Engage Consumers

- Include your call to action, a coupon code, direct them to a website, or a QR Code sending them to social media they can  follow to continually get your business on their feed. Find ways to influence your customers and get them coming back for more.


5. Promote New Products and Services

- Or old ones looking to gain traction. The good thing is that candies last a long time, meaning they can be used for years and for anything! Include them in a mailing promotion so they don't immediately throw your flyer away. They're going to want that candy.



Let's not forget the real reason everyone grabs a piece... THEY'RE TASTY!!!  Who doesn't love a free mint or piece of candy?!

Kettering allowed us the opportunity to make lapel pins and cord keepers to use as gifts for their students and staff. These are very popular because they show affiliation with the university. The pins and cord keepers symbolize achievement and belonging, and they are very stylish. It makes a statement to others to show that you are a part of something that is worthy to be shown to people. Here at BYD, we offer branded swag to help attract the best candidates to your business. Corporate swag, also known as promotional products or branded merchandise, can offer several benefits for businesses as part of their marketing and branding efforts. However, it also comes with some challenges. Here's an overview of the benefits and challenges of corporate swag: Benefits:  Brand Awareness: Corporate swag can increase brand visibility and recognition. When people use or wear items with your company's logo, it acts as a constant advertisement. Customer Loyalty: Giving away branded merchandise to customers or clients can foster a sense of appreciation and loyalty. It can make customers feel valued and more likely to return or recommend your business. Employee Morale: Providing employees with branded swag can boost morale and create a sense of belonging. It can also serve as a tangible reminder of their association with the company. Trade Shows and Events: Branded items are popular giveaways at trade shows and events. They can attract visitors to your booth and serve as reminders of your company after the event. Lead Generation: Swag items can be used as incentives for lead generation. For example, offering a free promotional item in exchange for contact information can help build your marketing database. Cost-Effective Marketing: Compared to some other marketing strategies, corporate swag can be cost-effective, especially when ordered in bulk. Tangible Marketing: Swag provides a tangible way to connect with your audience. People often retain and use branded items, extending the lifespan of your marketing efforts. Challenges: Costs: While corporate swag can be cost-effective when done right, it can also become expensive, especially if you invest in high-quality or custom items. Budget constraints can be a challenge. Waste: Swag items that aren't well-received or are of low quality can lead to waste. They might end up in the trash, and this can have negative environmental implications. Effectiveness: The effectiveness of swag can vary widely depending on the type of items you choose and how they align with your target audience's preferences. It's essential to select items that resonate with your audience. Storage and Distribution: Managing and storing a stockpile of swag items, as well as distributing them to the right people at the right time, can be logistically challenging, especially for large organizations. Competition: Many businesses use corporate swag, so standing out in a sea of branded merchandise can be difficult. To be effective, your swag needs to be unique and memorable. ROI Measurement: It can be challenging to measure the return on investment (ROI) of corporate swag. Determining whether the cost of producing and distributing swag results in tangible benefits can be elusive. Sustainability Concerns: With growing environmental awareness, there's a greater emphasis on sustainable and eco-friendly promotional products. Using non-environmentally friendly swag can generate negative perceptions. In summary, corporate swag can be a valuable tool for marketing and branding efforts, but it should be approached strategically. Careful consideration of the type of items, their quality, and their alignment with your target audience is crucial. Additionally, managing costs, waste, and sustainability concerns should be part of your swag strategy to ensure its effectiveness.
