What Is the Purpose Of A Promotional Torch?

By Richard Joseph

In many ways promotional torches are not expected to do much; they are not expected to function on the same level as a much more expensive torch, nor are they expected to have the same level of durability or longevity. In short a promotional torch is really only expected to be a cute little knickknack that your company distributes as part of a larger campaign to get your name and brand out there. Well to some this may seem like a drawback in fact it is not.

While you are deciding on whether or not a promotional torch is worth your budgeting money it is important to remember that you are not purchasing these items for their functionality, but instead focus on the novelty value of the item. When you are purchasing promotional torches, for novelty, then you have just opened up a wide range of creative design options. These creative option would not be available for many of the more functional promotional items, which makes your promotional torch even more unique. A promotional torch should not be thought of as an item that can be utilized by a plumber while he is fixing your sink.. Instead you need to think of the exposure that creativity of your promotional torches will bring your company, while the recipient is shows it off to friends, family and co workers.

If your company is looking for a serious torch maker, there would be no way that you could consider creating a hot pink starfish shaped torch. However since this is a promotional torch a hot pink starfish shaped torch may be just what you're looking for if you're promoting a cruise line or a fish store. In fact choosing a specialty shaped promotional torch may actually move your promotional torch from being a disposable novelty into a curiosity that may be kept around for a long time. There are no guarantees of course that your specialty shaped promotional torch will make this jump however you might as well stack the marketing deck in your favor anyway that you can.

Another form of creativity that a promotional torch offers, is the ability to change the color of the LCD bulb. You can design your promotional torches into what ever shape you would like and then you can find an appropriate color light bulb to match. For example, it you have designed your promotional torch into the shape of a heart and choice to make the heart pink, you can then utilize a red LCD bulb, to give it more appeal then a plain white light bulb.

You can also decide to go a little further with your promotional torch and include a tricolor light, of red, green and blue. These are a little more expensive then a regular white bulb, however they make a greater impact on the audience. These types of promotional torches are best used at large company events or conventions.
