DIY Colouring Merchandise – Tote Bags

What is DIY Colouring merchandise?

DIY is an acronym for Do It Yourself.

The concept of these products is somewhat similar to having coloring books. This is in the sense that on the body of the product, there is line art to which people are intended to add color using crayons, colored pencils, marker pens, paint or other artistic media. Unlike what we were sold to believe from time memorial, it is widespread knowledge that adults also enjoy colouring especially people who are artistically inclined and even people who aren’t. Research has proven that colouring is therapeutic and beneficial in the sense that not only does it improve your motor skills and vision, it is also known to reduce stress and anxiety levels.

From aprons to backpacks to tote bags to kites, books, and even shirts, this custom DIY colouring merchandise can be replicated on a wide number of products in many creative ways that represent your brand.

How can you incorporate this into your brand?

  • Gift with purchase: You can use a Custom DIY colouring apron for example as a free gift with purchase of your product. This is an incentive that continues to yield exponential results because people are always more motivated to buy a certain product when there is a gift attached to it.
  • Attach prizes and challenges around the product: You can run a challenge that says there is a free gift for anyone with the best colouring design and run a competition for a certain limited number of days. This is a known promotional bait that is bound to yield results because most people are competitive in nature. In order to qualify to enter the competition, a lot of people would most likely purchase the product and this means not just an increase in sales for your company but a widespread awareness of your brand. This is a great way to stay relevant and in the center of things by getting people talking about your brand.
  • Free gift incentive: The way this works is you attach the DIY colouring product of your choice (could be a bag, shirt, apron, or book, depending on your brand) as a free gift incentive for purchases over a certain amount. For example, say free DIY colouring tote bags for purchases over £50. Most people are likely to purchase way overstated amount in an attempt to earn the free gift promise.
  • On pack promotion: On-pack promotions are probably the most commonly used means of sales promotion in the retail world. They are an exceptional way to make your product stand out along the saturated shelves of the standard store. You can include any of these DIY alongside the sale of your product, (depending on your brand) as an on-pack promotion.
