The next cup of coffee you have with a contact could spur them into becoming a customer and into bringing their friends and family along with them. People like doing business with those who are personable and nothing is more personable than sharing a cup of coffee and good conversation. It doesn't matter if most of the talk is business-orientated. Sharing a cup of coffee eliminates the common barriers between business executives or owners and contacts. It is common for contacts to wonder if their prospective business would really be appreciated by those running the company, or are they just another number, another pound of profit made for them. This can make contacts a bit leery and on guard when meeting with you. This isn't what you want because unsettled contacts are less likely to be receptive to hearing what you have to offer and why what you offer is of better quality than what is offered by your competitors. It is amazing that sipping on coffee while having a business discussion with someone makes such a difference, but it really does. It puts you both on the same level in the eyes of the contact and this is what you are striving for. Contacts that perceive you as personable, honest and someone they can relate to are more apt to agree to do business with you. Giving them a gift only confirms for them that you are indeed the company they would rather be handing their money over to in purchasing the things they need and want. Your promotional mugs don't just promote to a single person but to that persons family, friends, and coworkers. Promotional mugs also make terrific employee awards for work done well and company loyalty and dedication recognition.
