Here are some interesting ways on how you can improvise your bottle necker and utilize it to provide marketing which can be of personal value and has meaning to your consumers:

  • How about packing your drink with the same drink in a smaller bottle?  Thinking of launching a new drink and want to test the waters in a new country.   In both these cases a bottle necker can work wonders.   The perceived value can be enhanced and it will encourage customers to try your new product or buy yours to get that little bit extra for free.
  • Pair your bottle with another promotional product of great utility or which creates synergy, for instance, a shot glass or a champagne stopper. This form of marketing itself benefits your customers by giving them something (incentives) they may need or want. By doing so, you are giving your customers reasons to choose your drink over the other brands in the same price category. Smirnoff executed it perfectly and had an overwhelming response. So why can’t you? Look here. Or even provide a recipe or a food/wine guide like how Michelin did and change the perception of consumers about your brand forever.
  • Accessorize and beautify your bottle with a necker in an eye-catching way to grab the attention of the consumers. Catch that impulse purchase – more often than not consumers determine their buying decisions on first impression which is your packaging. See Southern Comfort’s promotion.
  • Use the necker to convey any ongoing promotional campaigns that you may want your customers to know. A bottle necker may be the best way of going about to raise awareness and get your customers to register for your Facebook campaigns, promotions, lucky draws etc. See here for a perfect illustration.
  • Enable your bottle necker to carry distinct messages about your unique selling points. Why are you different from the rest? Show it through these neckers – you can have a fold out magazine if you want to go into details or give recipes etc….

Much of the time the Promotional Products industry connects bottle neckers with alcohol and beverages. However, they can be used for basically anything that is bottled. From sauce (look at Hot Sauce and Bottle Neckers), oil (Olive oil bottle necker promos) to shampoo, detergents and the endless list goes on…
