Promoting your dental business is essential for gaining new customers, as well as retaining your current clientele. While they might already be a client, there is always something new on the horizon, and with the right marketing, they might be tempted to try a new practice. The key to any successful business is retaining clients while attracting new ones.
One way to keep your business on the minds of your current clients is to keep custom lip balm on hand to give away after dental procedures to help prevent their lips from getting dry and cracked after a treatment. Not only does this help your customer to heal properly, it gives them a reminder of your business so it is always fresh on their mind.
Marketing your dental office is not just a great way to obtain new clients. It’s essential, practical, and affordable. Custom lip balm is so inexpensive, you can’t afford not to give it away. Every time a client leaves your office, they are already beginning to forget the experience (let’s hope anyway!).
Giving them a personalized lip balm featuring your logo or custom graphics will not only help restore their lips after the procedure they just had (even if it’s something as simple as a cleaning) but will help keep the name of your practice on their lips – literally! Ordering promotional lip balm in bulk is the most affordable way to be sure you have plenty on hand for every customer, and ensure you don’t run out.
Keeping lips smooth and moisturized is great, but when you give someone a lip balm with an unpleasant flavor or a flavor they just don’t like, it won’t be used. Not only do we have a wonderful selection of flavors to choose from, but you can also mix flavors so you get a variety to let customers choose their own. That way, you know it will be used to ensure they think of your practice often.
At the Custom Lip Balm Store, we have a section dedicated to custom packaging so you can make a real impact on clients. We have several products that come with a Free Display Tub, so you can keep some at your checkout desk and let people take one as they leave your office.
Another way to promote your practice is with our Dental Tekbooks. These amazing marketing booklets allow you to fully customize a folding booklet providing information about our services, along with a custom lip balm featuring your logo or graphics with a full-color process imprint.
These booklets are imprinted on both sides of the card in a beautiful full-color process, and you can add a coupon, QR code, your website, and contact information, or anything else you deem relevant. We offer a single or double fold so you can choose the best size that meets your needs. They are ideal for mailouts, drop-offs, and event marketing.
See all of our custom lip balm packaging options to see what works best for your practice!

Creating a promotional giveaway with custom-branded products is a wonderful way to gain attention. A promotional giveaway is where a business gives away free products featuring its company logo to customers and potential customers to attract new business and build customer loyalty. It’s a way that allows you to connect with your current customers, and attract the attention of potential new customers.
Promotional giveaways are a low-cost, yet effective way to leave a lasting impression and keep your brand on the minds of your target audience. It’s cheaper and more effective than standard advertising and allows you to connect with your target audience.
Most people keep a promotional gift for an average of one year or longer depending on the product. Something like stainless steel drinkware or an umbrella will last for years, giving you extended exposure.
In addition to keeping your name on the minds of your customers, it’s a great way to attract new customers. Others will see your custom product being used, and it will pique their interest and prompt them to reach out to your company to inquire about your business and its services.
Promotional giveaways are ideal for showing your customers how much you appreciate them and their business. When people feel appreciated, it will increase their loyalty to your company. Items that people can use every day, like custom drinkware, is a great way to keep your name front and center so your brand is ever present on their mind.
While most custom products are a great way to promote your brand, some products do work better than others. Items such as custom bags, drinkware, pens, lip balm, umbrellas, and hand sanitizer are more effective than a one-use gimmick or gad items such as fidget spinners, stress toys, or other items that wear out or break easily.
When considering the kind of promotional product you want to represent your brand, consider long-lasting and useful items. Almost everyone owns a promotional pen or drinkware product. Why? Because they work. For instance, stainless steel drinkware is something that everyone can use, and use often. Drinkware that is versatile and can be used for both hot and cold beverages will give you more exposure than a plastic cup.
You also need to consider your audience. If you are a sports-related brand you might want to use a sports water bottle that can be used during workouts or while playing sports, or even hiking or biking.
No matter what type of business you are in, you can benefit from promotional giveaways. Whether you are attending tradeshows, hosting an event, or just looking for a way to show your customers how much you appreciate their business, promotional products are a winning marketing idea.
Promotional products are also a great way to show employee appreciation. And when you give your employees brand merchandise, they will often give it to a friend or family, giving you even more exposure.
Lip balm was been around for thousands of years! Lip balm was used by Egyptians as far back as 40 BC, including Queen Cleopatra and the pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Made with beeswax, olive oil, honey, and animal fat, these same natural ingredients are still used today.
In the 1800s, a woman named Lydia Maria child wrote a book called The American Frugal Housewife. In her book, she wrote “Those who are troubled with cracked lips have found this earwax remedy successful when others have failed. It is one of those sorts of cures, which are very likely to be laughed at; but I know of its having produced very beneficial results.”
While this was not something most people were keen on trying, in 1859 a 22 year-old British chemist named Robert Chesebrough traveled to Titusville, Pennsylvania, where he learned about a natural, waxy ingredient with visible skin-repairing properties that helped to heal and soothe cuts and burns. Inspired, Chesebrough began working with petroleum and in 1865, Chesebrough created petroleum jelly. In 1870, he introduced a new product called “Wonder Jelly”, which was officially changed to Vaseline® Jelly in 1872.
In 1880, a physician named Charles Brown Fleet created the first lip balm, which later became the well-known brand “ChapStick”.
The 1900s brought about some of the most famous lip balm brands still used today.
In 2006, EOS (Evolution of Smooth) founder Jonathan Teller, created an egg-shaped lip balm made with 95% organic ingredients. EOS quickly became a best-selling lip balm with its aromatic and tasty lip balm contained in a colorful egg.
Today, there are numerous lip balm companies and products on the market. The most popular natural ingredients include beeswax, cocoa butter, honey, shea butter, and natural oils including coconut, sunflower, peppermint, or canola.
The benefits of using lip balm daily are many. Not just for winter, lip balm is a great product to use every day. It moisturizes, protects, and hydrates, keeping lips soft and supple while providing protection against wind and dry air. It soothes and heals already dry and cracked lips while helping prevent them from getting chapped again. Lip balm is ideal for use at night and helps protect new skin cells while you sleep. It also provides a smooth base and helps lipstick last longer when used as a primer.
Lip balms containing SPF are a necessity for protection from the sun, providing protection from UVA and UVB rays, and helping prevent sunburn and sun damage, and even cancer. Lip balm also helps prevent aging and reduce wrinkles around the lips.
The popularity of lip balm today is ever-growing. There are many brands, with a myriad of flavors and styles, guaranteeing that there is a lip balm for everyone!
Lip balm is also an effective and affordable way to promote any business or promotional event. Visit the Custom Lip Balm Store today to get started!

Whether you are a large or small business, creating a presence at a tradeshow can be a cumbersome task. With so many companies promoting their brand, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of booths and displays. In addition to creating an interesting and eye-catching area to draw the attention of tradeshow attendees, you need a way for people to remember your brand after the event is over.
People will spend all day traveling from booth to booth, checking out each vendor to see if what they have to offer may benefit them or their business. After seeing dozens of companies and their offerings, it can be hard at the end of the day to remember which company offered what services. Obviously, you need to have creative and interesting marketing materials on hand for visitors to take with them so they can review your services later. But is that enough?
In addition to printed marketing materials, another way to keep our company on the mind of prospective clients is by giving away promotional items featuring your brand’s logo, so they are reminded of your company each time they use it. Below is a list of some of the most effective promotional products for tradeshows.
Custom lip balm tops our list for several reasons. Lip balm is inexpensive and easy to buy in bulk. You have numerous types to choose from, and a large variety of flavors that can be mixed. Light and portable, it’s easy to carry 1000’s of lip balm into a tradeshow facility ensuring that you have something for everyone who stops by your table. With out Flavor mix option, you can order several different flavors and let people choose the one they like best – meaning there is a good chance they will use it more frequently giving you a lot of repeat exposure.
Talk about a necessity for tradeshows! With all the hand-shaking and people touching your displays, marketing tables, and everything else around you, hand sanitizer is a must-have for any large gathering. Try placing a couple of large 16 oz. pump bottles on your table so you and anyone else visiting your area can freshen their hands as needed. Additionally, you can get up a display of travel-sized hand sanitizers so guests can take one as the leave to freshen up with throughout the day.
You must have pens! Pens with your logo on it are just a no-brainer. They are cheap and affordable to buy in bulk, and easy to carry and setup anywhere you are. Promotional pens are great for tradeshows. People will use them throughout the day and see your logo every time. Will they lose them? Undoubtedly! But that’s ok! Because when they drop one, someone else will pick it up and see our name and logo – and it might even entice them to come visit your display!
There are so many ways to go with drinkware! You have many options and can do so much with it depending on how much you have it your budget. Here are a few top sellers for your consideration:
For the ultimate giveaway, consider a custom tote bag loaded with promotional goodies to hand out to potential clients! You don’t have to give one to everyone who approaches your booth, but instead make them special giveaways to those who really take their time to inquire about your services or products, seem genuinely interested, and are likely to give you a call once the event is over.

Fall is a popular time for local schools and students involved in sports. Football is a mainstay of any school, which usually also includes the marching band on game night. While these are two separate groups, both are considered a sport, and work together during the football season and get a lot of attention from the students, teachers, parents, and other family members. Each club often sells candy, food, and products branded with its name and logo at the concession stand to raise money.
And while you could also do the same, by selling items with your logo and offering the proceeds to the school, or the club directly, another idea is to provide the members with materials (featuring your branded logo, of course) they can use, and often need.
A great way to promote your brand would be to supply these students with a tote bag filled with promotional products featuring your name or logo. Not only does it show that you care about the kids, but their parents will see your thoughtful gift and remember your business the next time they require your services.
Custom drawstring sports packs are a great idea for both the football team and marching band. They are ideal for holding everything a kid in either club needs, and it’s a great way to keep the materials separate from the rest of their school items, so they can grab it and go when it’s time for practice.
Football players will have clothing, shoes, towels, and maybe even a playbook to bring to practice, while marching band kids always have extra items to carry in addition to their instrument. They have band music and folders, instrument accessories, cleaning kits, gloves, shoes, jackets, and more. And if you fill them with useful items featuring your logo, you are sure to be noticed by their parents and teachers as well!
A sports bag is a great choice for these students. With the drawstring closures that also serve as handles, they can easily wear it – even while marching if needed! Our best-selling Non-Woven Hit Sports Pack sells for as low as $1.19 per piece and offers a large 8″ W x 9″ H imprint area for your logo, so it will be seen even from the bleachers!
All of these kids will spend a lot of time outdoors, first in the hot sun, then in the bitter cold once the weather turns. There will be a lot of chapped lips! An SPF lip balm (or two) would be a great addition to your bag and greatly appreciated. Starting as low as 33¢ per piece, our These lip balms contain an SPF to help protect young lips from the damaging rays of the sun, and the drying winds of winter.
Having hand sanitizer and a cleaning cloth in their bag is a great idea, especially for the marching band students that share instruments! In today’s world of fast-spreading viruses and your standard cold and flu, keeping your children as healthy as possible is always difficult.
Pair our 1 Oz. Square Hand Sanitizer Gel (64¢ and up) with our Value Microfiber Cloth in Printed Pouch (as low as 57¢) for a useful addition that parents and teachers will also appreciate!
For something unique and memorable, check out our Football Shaped Microfiber Cleaning Cloth. It’s perfect for the football team!
Both of these activities are exhausting and can cause severe dehydration if you don’t have water on hand! Our 20 Oz. Surf Bottle (Push Pull Lid) would make a great addition to your bag, and is something every member needs! Starting at only 73¢ a piece, it’s a small price to pay to keep the kids hydrated.
BPA-free, it holds a generous 20 ounces and comes in a wonderful selection of colors for both the bottles and the lids, so you can mix and match to complement school colors or those of your logo. You can also order an assortment if you want to have more than one color combination!
One thing every member needs is a pen or pencil! There are always changes in football plays, as well as the music and choreography for the band throughout the season. Including a promotional pen or mechanical pencil would be appreciated by the football coaches and band director, as well as the students!
Our Click Pens start as low as 21¢ per piece, and are a great option since they don’t have a cap to lose! Or you can opt for a Mechanical Pencil (46¢ and up). If you want to make an even greater impression, opt for one of our Full-color Imprint Custom Click Pens! Starting at only 33¢ per piece, your pen will truly stand out from the others.
If you put this all together, you can create a fantastic gift package for each child for only $3.67 per child! That’s a small price to pay for everything you get: 1) Knowing that you have provided a useful gift that everyone will appreciate, 2) Peace of mind for the parents, 3) and the huge amount of exposure your company will get when other students, teachers, coaches, parents, families, and more when they see your name and logo all over each item!
We’re mid-way through the Summer and while it might seem like it is too early to think about back-to-school promotions, parents and kids are already preparing for a new school year! From shopping for clothes and school supplies to prepare the kids with pre-school work, the season is already underway. Depending on where you live, school can start as early as the first week of August making it a great time to promote your business with custom lip balm.
The schools have been closed all summer, and the air is often stuffy and dry upon returning, leaving the lips of students and teachers parched, cracked, and yearning for moisture. A soothing lip balm would help restore and nourish lips while drawing attention to your business and its services.
Providing a custom lip balm with your brand’s logo to local schools to hand out to children is a great way to get your company noticed. Many elementary schools provide “back-to-school” backpacks they give to new and returning pupils filled with the supplies they need most.
A custom lip balm featuring your company name and phone number would be a wonderful addition to these gifts and a great way to promote your business! While it will typically be the children receiving the lip balm, it will be used by teachers as well, and parents are sure to see it when they check out their child’s book bag while filling out pages and pages of school papers required on the first day!
Another idea is to provide the school with a fish bowl or two filled with lip balms to keep on their reception desk and in the nurse’s office. That way anyone who enters the school is sure to see your full-color logo and graphics and call attention to your business.
Lip balm is an affordable way to promote any business on any budget. Perfect for children’s dentists and doctors, it’s a great way to gain new patients! Create a colorful and fun label that will attract the attention of both students and parents, and they are sure you call you at some point during the year when the child becomes ill or needs a checkup.
Not just for school-age children, lip balm makes a wonderful gift for college-age students as well. Many students are from out of state and are unfamiliar with local businesses. Promoting your brand to these young adults is a great way to grab their attention and gain new clients.
Custom lip balm is an economical and effective way to promote any business, any time of year. Get the jump on your competition and kick off the school year by getting your name in front of both repeat and potential customers! At the Custom Lip Balm Store, we even offer several lip balms that come with special packaging so you can promote your brand in a way that garners even more attention.
We offer fish bowl type tubs that hold 50 or 100 pieces of lip balm, as well as blister cards and Tekbooks that you customize with your full-color graphics, business information, website, and even a QR code and coupon!
Be prepared for that first day of school! Visit us today at customlipbalmstore.com to place your order!
New and small businesses have a lot of hurdles when starting out. Advertising your business doesn’t have to be one of them! While marketing is key in getting your name on the lips of potential new clients, you don’t have to break the bank while doing it.
Marketing a new business can be a trying time. Trying to find an effective, yet affordable way to get your name out might feel out of your reach when you first start your company. The good news is, it’s easy to promote your brand on just about any budget! Not all promotional products have to be expensive. While you have a lot of choices that fall in the under $1 category, there are also many custom items you can get for less than 50¢ a piece! Some for even less.
There are numerous products you can customize for 50¢ to $1.00 – custom bags, cleaning cloths, drinkware, hand sanitizer, lip balm, pens, sunglasses, and sunscreen are the most popular. Many of these options even have products under 25¢ per piece! So, no matter how low your current budget is, it’s easy to find a product to help promote your business and get you started.
Putting your logo on pens is about the cheapest item way you can spend your advertising dollars. Pricing starts below 20¢ a piece, making it affordable to buy in bulk and pass them out to anyone and everyone! The great thing about pens is not only will users see your company name or logo as they are writing, but others around them will see it too. And while pens are probably the most easily lost items, it doesn’t mean a loss for you. When one person loses a pen, another finds it, which extends your reach to another potential customer!
The best way for people to remember your name is by repetition, and if you give them a one-use item, they won’t remember you for long. You need to spend your money on products that will be used by potential (and/or current) customers daily so your name is always fresh on their minds.
When selecting a product to customize for your promotions, consider items that people will want to use over and over again, so your company name and logo are repeatedly seen by the user. Don’t bother with items that will be tossed after being used one time. Spend your money on items that will be used over and over again, giving your brand repeat exposure.
One of the hardest things about choosing a product is knowing what to customize. You can put your name on just about anything, but you want to be selective about the products you choose.
The key to a good promotional item is usability. Choosing a product people will use that is also seen by others is very important. It’s also vital to select something reusable, so you get the most bang for your buck. When you buy gimmicky little one-use gadgets or fad items, they usually just end up in the trash before you’ve had a chance to leave an impression on the person who received the item.
When looking for a product to represent your company, you want to choose something that your company would use, or that people might think of when using your customized item.
For instance, dentists and orthodontist clients favor custom lip balm. Almost everyone uses lip balm, and when your lips are feeling soft and moisturized, you tend to smile more. And no one wants you to have a great smile more than your dentist! And with prices as low as (or less than) 35¢ a piece, it’s easy to buy in bulk to pass out to every client when they come in for dental work or to use as a mailout for checkup reminders.
Another example is personalized pens. Pens are great for any business and work especially well for banks, realtors, car dealerships, and other companies you typically associate with signing papers.
Custom drinkware is another great promotional tool that works for any company. Not only does drinkware get a lot of reused, but your logo will be seen with every sip by the user, their coworkers, or other people around them.
Another factor to consider is how portable a personalized item is. If you pass out products with your name on them that can be easily kept on a person, the more likely your logo is to be seen frequently not only by the user but by others around them. Hand sanitizer, lip balm, pens, and sunglasses are a great way to showcase your name while staying within your budget.
The bottom line is, you really can’t afford NOT to promote your business. With so many items with prices below $1.00, it’s one of the best ways to spend your marketing dollars to advertise any company. Get started now at PromotionalWebstores.com!
Promoting your company or brand is one of the most important things you can do as a business owner. Many people think it’s a waste of money, but you can’t rely on word of mouth if you want to grow your business properly.
No matter how awesome your product is, if people don’t know about it, they can’t purchase it or your services. One of the best ways to get your name out to the public is by sponsoring an event.
There are numerous kinds of events you can have, depending on what type of business you are promoting. For sports-related companies, sponsoring a local race, golf tournament, or even holding your own company-sponsored outdoor event is an effective way to get the attention of the masses.
For general businesses, offering to be a sponsor for an event, school, or sports team is a wonderful way to get involved in your community and let people know you are in business.
Let’s take a look at the top promotional items you want to have when sponsoring an outdoor event.
First and foremost, one of the most important items you can have on hand for any outdoor event is water! You want everyone to have a good time, but you don’t want anyone’s day ruined by a trip to the hospital for dehydration! Even if your guests are not participating in sports or any exertion activities, it is still easy to become dehydrated when spending time outdoors.
The easiest way to keep everyone hydrated is of course by keeping cold bottled water on hand. And sure, you can hit the local store and buy cases of water, but why promote someone else’s company at your own event? Have custom bottled water on hand for everyone to enjoy, that also gives you the benefit of your name being on the label!
Another convenient option is a custom water bottle. While this may not provide immediate hydration, it allows guests to fill up the bottle with their own beverage to enjoy during your event. And afterwards, they get to take it home and use it again and again, each time seeing the name of your company on the custom logo imprinted on the bottle!
Company golf outings are a great way to boost employee morale, and while everyone is out having fun, you can advertise your company on a promotional golf umbrella! While umbrellas are typically used while it’s raining, they are also good to have on hand during outdoor events. Golf umbrellas are larger and offer protection from the sun as well as the rain. Sponsoring a golf tournament is another valuable way to market your brand.
Not just for golfing, custom umbrellas are always a good idea to have on hand for any outdoor event in the case of rain. Whether it’s your event or you are participating in a larger event, people will be grateful to protect them in case of rain.
In today’s world, you should never have an event without having lots of hand sanitizer available! It’s inexpensive, fits into any marketing budget, and is a fantastic way to promote your brand during any event. Not only can it be used during whatever occasion you are promoting, but it is small, portable, and can be easily displayed, no matter the venue.
Fill bowls or other containers with hand sanitizer with your custom label, and let attendees grab them when needed. Then they can take home the bottle to use at home or the office later, which will remind them of your event and company.
Lip balm is another item you don’t want to forgo for your event. Being outdoors can take a toll on lips, leaving them dry and cracked, especially if it involves sports of any kind. You can even opt for a lip balm containing SPF to offer protection from the sun.
Custom lip balm is extremely affordable and gives guests another great reusable product they can use during the event and then take with them when they leave. Giving you another opportunity to keep your name, literally, on their lips!
Sunglasses are a must for outdoor events! Even in the winter, the sun can be blinding, and you don’t want accidents to occur during sporting events because people were blinded by the sun causing them to lose sight of whatever their goal is. Even if they are not participating in the event sport, onlookers will be grateful for the protection a pair of UVA/UVB sunglasses will provide for their eyes.
And of course, let’s not forget the custom sunscreen! A necessity for any outdoor event, sunscreen protects your attendees from the harmful rays of the sun. Most people don’t think about bringing sunscreen when they head out to a promotional event, so they will be grateful that you had the forethought to have it on hand in case they need it.
Even if your event is during the winter, the sun doesn’t take days off! Remember, you can get a sunburn even if it’s cloudy outside, so make sure you offer your guests the protection they need.
What about the fads, the gimmicks, the cute little toys with your name on them? Sure, you can go that route if you like throwing your money away! Because that is exactly where that gimmick will end up – in the trash!
No one keeps those cute little fad toys, and if they even make it out of the event, they will either be tossed in the trash when they get home or given to a child to play with until it breaks (which honestly, won’t take long).
So don’t throw away your marketing dollars! Get the best exposure money can buy with a custom water bottle, bottled water, umbrella, sunglasses, lip balm, and hand sanitizer and make your event as successful as possible!
