Imagine living in a world without color. It’s hard to picture, especially because color is such a huge part of our lives. While many of us may take color for granted, color has a major impact on our decisions and emotions. For example, think about when you go shopping, do you tend to gravitate towards certain colors over others? Maybe bright colors in the spring? Maybe red’s and greens in the holiday seasons? Whatever the case, consumers rely heavily on color to make their decision.

So why does color matter when selecting a promo product to represent your company?

The color of your promo product should determine your target audience. If you are trying to attract a younger audience to your business consider using Bright, fun colors on your products. If you want to attract an older, mature audience, try using neutrals. Color also conveys many emotions. If you know the general mood or emotion of your target audience you can use color as a tool in your marketing strategy.

Think about your brand image. Now think about your marketing? Is your current marketing meeting the same “mood” of your brand? Color is a great aid in enforcing your brand’s mood. Are you a fitness based company? Consider using cool blues to enforce motivation and tranquility. Business geared towards kids? Consider using bright yellows or reds to enforce the fun and exciting aura of your company.

Having difficulty determining a color for branded products, consider these questions: What color suits your brand personality and the characteristics of your products or services? What do you want customers to feel when they interact or associate with your brand?

When it comes to marketing, the colors representing your business can have a major impact. Who would have thought something so overlooked can be one of the number one decision making motives?
