World Cup Fever Taking Over

Posted in News, Promotional Products on 25.06.10 by John Meloche

No wonder it?s called the World Cup. Of course, FIFA?s huge soccer event, which is played every four years features the best soccer ? excuse me futbol ? teams in the world. But it definitely also seems as if, unlike other sporting events, everyone in the world is watching.

World Cup fever is definitely rampant all over Toronto, which is a very multicultural city. So naturally, there are vehicles all over town sporting flags from all over the world. Toronto is home to people of all types of nationalities. The flags of such countries as Brazil, England, Portugal, Spain, Germany, Argentina and even Japan seem to be the most popular.

Today, the final games of the opening round were played and all of the match ups for the second round have been made official. Of note, is the clash between soccer powerhouses England and Germany. As well, two countries sharing a border in Spain and Portugal will square off next Tuesday.

Around the Synergy offices, there has already been a whole lot of smack talk going down. Apparently some bets have been placed that will see the loser of next week?s elimination match ups being forced to wear the jersey of his or her opposing team. The embarrassment, apparently, will never be lived down.

Now, it?s not that World Cup fever isn?t exciting enough as it is, but if you?re a business owner, you probably can?t help but think that the present is the perfect time to run a promotion. Think about it. All it takes is a few flags. Why not by a few ? they are relatively cheap ? and give them away as a free promotion in your store?

While you?re at, it would make perfect sense to add one of our exceptional promo products to go along with that free flag. See ?free? is always appreciated. But when it comes with something of major significance ? like a flag representing a customer?s country ? it will be greatly admired forever.

Now your promo gift, of course, should always have your company name and contact information included. So you not only want to make a friendly impact on your client by providing a free flag, you also want to make sure you are creating a loyal customer who will want to keep coming back. Make sure they know how to.

Next week, things are really going to heat up as it?s now ?win or go home? time in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Use this as an opportunity to help your business win as well.
