Right way of advertising the business can leave a big impression on the clients. One has to be very careful of how they portray their image in public .It is not only the money that is poured in to the advertising campaign but also the idea behind the content that is important.

It is also pertinent to mention here that the effectiveness of a campaign does not only depend upon the amount of money that you pump in the advertising campaign. The content, presentation and the communication are equally important. In fact, if the content or the idea behind the campaign is great, one probably needs to spend a lower amount of money on the media itself to get the desired outcome.

Though there are large advertising agencies that will help promote large multinational companies, there are enough initiatives that a smaller enterprise can also take. One of such ideas is that of giving away gifts to potential clients. Even though it is a fairly simple activity, many business units fail to take advantage of this opportunity. Branding of the gifts is not essential, it is the act that counts. No one is likely to forget the store where they were made feel special. Since personal rapport and trust are key drivers in the jewelry business, such a personal gesture can go a long way.

Note that the gifts that you give away do not need to be expensive ones. The monetary value of the gift is not important. What is important is the fact that you are giving away something and it is the act of giving that really counts. You can buy various items in bulk and then decide to give them away to various categories or classifications of customers. You can classify your customers on the basis of first time visit versus repeat visit, potential customer or one who actually purchased something and low value item purchaser versus those that make high value purchases.

Some of the gifts that can help you make up your own customized list are:

- Key chains with of various shapes and patterns with the logo of the store can be easily given off. Make a point not to embose the companys name in bold prominent letters. In fact avoid the name and retain just the logo. You want the people to use the gift and not advertise your product. Gifts with big brand names printed, usually sits in the junk yard or their cupboard.

- Caps, soft toys, playing ball and the like are also good gifts that you can give. These gifts go down extremely well with the customers since they can keep their children busy while they browse through the various offerings that you have on display without being disturbed. It is okay to print the name of your store on such items since the kids are not likely to mind the name as long as they have a great game or toy to play with.

- A lovely jewelry box or cloth pouch to store jewelry is another relevant gift to give. Remember that bulky boxes are not appreciated these days and small fancy storage ideas are considered a much better option. If you have to, then make sure that the boxes that you use are designed well. The customers would surely retain the boxes for its uniqueness. And the customer will feel special too.
