    Digital Agency Deepens Client and Employee Engagement with Branded Merchandise

    Overview

    Bowe Digital, a full-service marketing agency, uses a remote workforce to meet the needs of over 200 global clients. Leadership wanted to boost employee morale and nurture client relationships by distributing branded merchandise but struggled to find the right items.

    GoDelta sourced over 50 unique promotional items that resonated with recipients and reflected the agency’s values and services. We also created custom corporate gift boxes to help the agency strengthen existing client relationships.

    Challenge

    With a remote workforce and few opportunities to meet face-to-face with clients, Bowe Digital needed to personalize its brand and customer experience. Leadership recognized the power that promotional products could have, but struggled with finding items that resonated with their target personas and reflected the services they offered.

    "I knew that we needed to give away swag. We started with cheap post-it notes, but it wasn't enough. We needed something that set us apart from everyone else. We wanted to be known for giving away quality products that matched the quality of work we were doing for clients."

    Finding the right promotional product distributor was key. Bowe Digital needed a reliable partner who understood their goals and had the strategic capabilities to select products based on their ideal personas.

    Goals

    Through a series of extensive discovery meetings, we uncovered Bowe Digital’s goals, challenges, and opportunities and created a project timeline to achieve these desired outcomes.

    • Increase brand recognition 
    • Forge deeper client relationships  
    • Distribute higher-quality promo items 
    • Boost remote engagement and morale

    Solutions

    Here’s how we used branded merchandise to help Bowe Digital stand out in a saturated market.

    High-Quality Promotional Products

    When searching for high-quality promotional items that reflect the value of Bowe Digital’s services, it was important to find new, forward-thinking, and trending promo items. The products they invested in needed to reflect the innovative minds behind the brand.

    GoDelta identified and sourced over 50 unique items for the marketing agency to hand out as tradeshow giveaways, client gifts, virtual event swag, and employee appreciation rewards. Once the products were chosen, our in-house graphic designers created digital mockups that incorporated key brand elements and strategic messaging. We packed and shipped each order, ensuring items arrived safely and on time.

    Employee Appreciation Gifts

    When it came to employee appreciation, one of the most successful gifts was a customized Bluetooth speaker. This gift boosted workforce morale, demonstrating how much leadership valued their hard work and dedication.

    "We personalized every item with each of our team member’s name, and people lost their minds over it. They weren’t even that expensive; it was definitely worth the investment."

    Corporate Gift Boxes

    Our team created custom corporate gift boxes to help Bowe Digital strengthen relationships with its existing clientele. Summer was right around the corner, so we got creative and designed a beach-themed kit that included branded sunscreen, aloe vera, and customized sunglasses.

    We included a call-to-action (CTA) inside the kit asking recipients to post photos with their swag items using a branded hashtag, and the winner with the best photo would receive a free TV. This strategy helped Bowe Digital build a personal connection with its clients while receiving user-generated content that could be used in future marketing campaigns.

    Results

    Bowe Digital successfully strengthened relationships with its clients and remote workforce by distributing thoughtful promotional products that reflect its brand values. Bowe Digital now has an impressive 89% closing rate, in part because they use memorable promo items to convert trade show leads into valuable customers.

    "Every conference that we go to now, we get at least one new client. I’d happily share that credit to the team at GoDelta."
