How a Promotional Card Holder Can Drive Brand Performance?

And as part of their marketing strategy, they gave away a promotional card holder to their customers. The card holder contains a card with QR code that when scanned will redirect users to their portal, thereby allowing for fast and hassle-free online registration.

Why We Love this Promotional Card Holder From PayMe?

• Can Be Attached to Mobile Phones: Customers can use this card holder to keep their business cards as well as their store-value card. Therefore, they do not have to bring their wallets with them when they go out. The promise of convenience is what makes this product an excellent marketing gift.

• Lasting Power: What we like about this promotional giveaway is the fact that customers can use them on daily basis. So when customers take out their phone in the office, on the subway, and on the streets, PayMe gains immense exposure at no additional cost. Being high-utility means customers are likely to keep them around for years. Promotional products that have value or are practical and durable are unlikely to end up in the trash.
• Slim Design: One might think that having something attached at the back of their phone feels uncomfortable. But PayMe’s promotional card holder is ultra slim and lightweight. So, if you are considering promoting your brand with a card holder, keep in mind that the functionality is as important as its aesthetics. Is it easy and comfortable to use? Does it provide convenience?

• Card with QR Code: As PayMe is an online app that allows for easy payment and sending of money to friends and family members, it only makes sense to offer customers cards with QR code. This way, it would be easier for customers to log on to the website anywhere, provided that they are connected to the internet. Therefore, PayMe gains better online presence thanks to their custom promotional products. To learn more how QR codes can be beneficial for business, check out this blog:
