            Although the PPE Kit is quite expensive, it is important to consider buying it. The safety of yourself and your workers is the most important aspect of your company. Without the workers, you wouldn’t be able to run a successful company. IF someone in your office gets Covid, the entire company could be out of work for a few weeks. It is much better to pay a little more money to buy the PPE kits and ensure the safety of your company than risk getting Covid. As the world is getting vaccinated, let’s do our part and keep the workplace safe and germ-free.

Virtual Event Giveaways

Virtual event giveaways, also known as virtual event swag, have always been relevant to businesses. Today, due to Covid, virtual events play an even bigger role. They help to build the customer-to-brand relationship. Giveaways, gifts, or swag are a fun, exciting part of most events and something that attendees look forward too.

Why have Virtual Event Giveaways

            First and foremost, virtual event giveaways boost engagement and amps up the digital event experience. During Covid, it helped make things feel a little more normal and made the event more personal, like an event in person would have. The giveaway also strengthens the relationship between companies and attendees. Lastly, the giveaway extends the life of the event for potentially years. For example, if a company gives away a t-shirt and the attendees wear it for years, then the company is still receiving free advertising. Other giveaways could be gift cards, online classes/memberships, free digital tools, and charitable donations that connect good vibes with the brand.

How to Share Virtual Event Giveaway Items

            There are many ways to get your giveaway into the attendees’ hands. The first thing you can do is send participants a gift box upon registration. This guarantees that the attendees receive the giveaway before the event. You could also send the giveaway after the event as a thank you for participating and being a part of the brand’s community. Another great way is through games. Games provide the participants a chance to win a prize. It also allows a fun game to take place during the event.

Benefits of Virtual Events/Giveaways

            The world will hopefully be going back to normal soon, but there are still benefits to keeping virtual events. Some of the benefits of virtual events are that they are eco-friendly, they are easy to personalize, and they can take place at any time or date. These benefits will keep virtual events relevant for years to come.

            Great giveaways for any event can be subscription boxes. At Wenning Branding we specialize in making fulfillment and subscription boxes for companies. You can use these as a giveaway for events or as a thank you to loyal customers. Reach out to us if you need subscription boxes!

PLA Utensil Set

We all use plastic, whether it is plastic utensils, plates, or other items. We all know it’s harmful to the environment, but it’s so convenient that we try to ignore the fact. We try to make excuses and by saying, “it’s not that bad.” Well, now there is a way for us to use plastic utensils and still not harm the environment.

Made from PLA, which stands for Polylactic Acid, a polymer made from renewable resources. PLA comes from corn starch, tapioca roots, and sugarcane. It is biodegradable and transforms into a natural material such as water, carbon dioxide, and composite.

           The PLA Utensil set as stated above, is great for the environment and just as convenient as regular plastic utensils. The company focuses on going green. As well as going green, they donate one percent of their sales to nonprofits that help protect the planet.

Barstool Sports Emergence

            By now, whether it is through our previous blogs or your knowledge, you are probably aware of Barstool Sports. Barstool was not always the powerhouse they are today. The point of this blog is to teach you about Barstool’s history and show you how they became a cult favorite over the last few years.

Barstool’s History

Sportsbook

            Barstool started in the basement of Dave Portnoy’s parents’ house in Milton, Massachusetts. Barstool originally was a hardcore sport, gambling, and fantasy football newspaper. The first issue released on August 27, 2003, and Portnoy had homeless people hand the papers out in public transport stations in Boston. In 2007, barstoolsports.com opened to the public, and the brand started to take off. People started talking about Barstool more, and they continued to grow through word-of-mouth. People loved the content and would share it with their friends. Growing in popularity helped them move to the next stage of their business in 2010, where they would host parties at Universities around the country.

           From 2010-2015 nothing major was happening at Barstool. They were growing their social media presence tremendously while still hosting parties and running their website. In 2016, Barstool company changed. Portnoy relocated the company to New York City. He then sold a 51% stake of the company to The Chernin Group. After this, Barstool Sports hired Ericka Nardini to become the new CEO. This move helped the company convert to a more lifestyle feel while including what the company was founded upon, sports and gambling. In August of 2020, Barstool sold 36% of the company to Penn National Gaming. The value of Barstool was 450 million dollars at the time of the sale. Now in March of 2021, Barstool is valued closer to 4.5 billion dollars. The increase in value is because Barstool owns a sportsbook now. Dave Portnoy has made many people very wealthy, and it is exciting to see where he will take the company in the future.

What Makes Barstool Successful

Pardon My Take

            Barstool has been so successful because it has found a way to target all demographics. They want to make people laugh and have done so by making everything they talk about satirical. They have done a great job of this through their social media pages, podcasts, and unique clothing line. One of the creative things they have done to gain popularity is One Bite Everyone knows the Rules, a series hosted by Portnoy. He goes around the country trying the best-recommended pizzas and rating them. His rating has become the gold standard when considering good pizza. If the pizza has a rating is above a 7, that means that it is GOOD. Barstool also hosts a ton of popular podcasts. Some of the most well-known podcasts are Chicks in the Office, Call Her Daddy, Pardon my Take, and Bussin with the Boys. The podcasts cover everything from sports to dating advice, which helps them connect with such a vast audience. They also have made the term “Saturdays are for the boys” extremely popular and profitable. This term has also had spin-offs like “Saturdays are for the girls.” Essentially, they created a mainstream and profitable meme. Besides all of this, they also host Rough and Rowdy, which are amateur boxing matches. They have even gotten involved in stocks and investment advice over the pandemic. Barstool has had great success because of the wide variety of industries they involve themselves in. Their portfolio has helped them create their cult following, which will help them be even more successful.

The Podcast Explosion

            Many of you have probably heard of podcasts, but do you know what they are? Podcasts are digital audio files made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device. Typically, they are available as a series, where new installments can be received automatically by subscribers. Podcasts have blown up over the last few years. Podcasts have become a mainstream, accessible, and easily digestible way to engage with stories and ideas. In this blog, we will be discussing all things podcasts. We will talk about why we listen to some of the best podcasts out there.

Statistics

Podcast 1

            Within the last three years, podcast listeners have grown 37.5%. 43% of people in the US listen to podcasts, with 75% of Americans being familiar with podcasts. On average, people who listen to podcasts listen to about 6 of them per week. So, who makes up the active listeners of podcasts? 44% of listeners are millennials, while Gen X makes up 33% of listeners, Baby Boomers make up 16%, and Gen Z makes up 7% of listeners. Lastly, males listen to podcasts slightly more than females. Out of all active listeners, 56% are male, and 44% are female.

Why We Listen

Podcast 2

            It has become easy to access podcasts daily. The podcast boom’s cause is three things; the ubiquity of smartphones, time spent in transit, and online music services. It is easier to multitask to podcasts than any other medium, bringing a dose of productivity to any part of your daily routine. Podcasts attribute to the brain-stimulating and addictive effects of audio learning. Another reason that podcasts are so popular is that it is unlike radio. Podcasts are listened to as much at home as when out and about. It has become mainstream to listen to while doing household chores, cooking, working out, and many other activities. Lastly, there is a podcast for everything. No matter your interests, you will be able to find a podcast perfect for you.

Popular Podcasts

Podcast 3

            I wanted to share with you some of the most popular podcasts and podcast genres. Comedy is the most popular genre, with 2 Dope Queens, The Joe Rogan Experience, and WTF hosted by Marc Maron being the most successful. The next biggest genre is education. The top podcasts in this genre are TED Radio Hour, Freakanomics Radio, and Radiolab. News is a big genre with The Daily, Up First NPR, and Serial leading the way. Then we have my favorite genre, sports! Pardon My Take (my favorite), Fantasy Focus Football, and 30 for 30 ESPN are some of the most popular podcasts out there. Lastly, gaming is a hugely successful genre. Game Scoop, Giant Bombcast, and Fireteam Chat are some of the most well-known in the genre. I could go on and on about podcast genres, but we would be here for days.

What is to Come?

Spotify

            Podcasts are going to continue growing in popularity. The percentage of people who actively listen to podcasts has increased significantly in the last three years. It hasn’t only been growing with millennials but in people 55+, which increased by 29% last year. Podcasts have become popular on all music streaming platforms. For example, Spotify spent over 400 million dollars on podcasted-related acquisitions. Spotify is only the beginning. As podcasts become more popular, more large purchases will take place. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend you start to listen to them!

5 Emerging People on Social Media

Covid-19 has affected and changed the world as we know it. Many people’s entire lifestyle has changed. Due to the pandemic, people have started to use social media much more. Social media has emerged and become more prominent in everyday life. Because of this, some people have found great success over the last year. 

Portnoy

Dave Portnoy 

Dave Portnoy is the owner of Barstool Sports. He has already been extremely successful. During the pandemic, Portnoy was able to take his name from being just known in the high school and college community to becoming a household name. My parents, who are both over 50 and aren’t active on social media, even know who he is! Portnoy has been doing “One bite, everybody knows the rule” for years. This segment is where he goes to the best-ranked pizza places and tries and rates their pizza. Portnoy has also been donating thousands of dollars to small businesses that have suffered during the pandemic. Portnoy continues to expand his fanbase by investing in new ventures like NASCAR and day trading. Portnoy has been getting positive attention everywhere. I’m sure this won’t be the last time we hear of him. 

Jake Paul

Jake Paul 

Not everyone on this list has gained popularity for the right reasons. Jake Paul is one of those people. He built his reputation off of controversy. Whether it was on Vine, posting questionable videos on YouTube, or taking shots at professional boxers like Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor. While all of this was happening, he decided to become a professional boxer. In his debut, he knocked out Nate Robinson, a former NBA player. His next fight is against a former MMA fighter, Ben Askren. I think most of the world (that cares) is rooting to see Askren knock Jake Paul out. It is crazy to see someone become so famous and prominent by being so disliked. People hate him so much that they like him. It is insane! 

D'Amelio

Dixie and Charli D’Amelio 

Dixie and Charli saw a rise in popularity over the last year. Both of them are TikTok stars and two of the most famous teen celebrities in the world. They rank number 2 and 3 on the list of top-earning TikTokers. Their rise to fame has earned them sponsorship deals with Hollister and Morphe cosmetics. Charli also has a drink named after her at Dunkin! Not only this, but brands are head over heels for them. Record labels have offered to pay for them to dance to their artists’ latest hits. Also, brands have asked them to endorse their products as well celebrities have invited them to collaborate. All of their fame has earned them their own Hulu 8-episode mini-series. 

Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan 

It seems like Joe Rogan has been around forever. His rise to fame started in 2001 when he was the host of the show Fear Factor. Since then, he has become one of the voices behind the UFC. If you tune into any UFC event, you will surely hear Joe Rogan commentating the fight. What has taken him over the top in popularity is that he is the host of The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. This podcast is currently one of the most popular podcasts. He talks with A-list celebrities about pop culture, current events, and anything else you could imagine. Some of the people that have been on the show are Mike Tyson, Elon Musk, Lance Armstrong, Bill Burr, and Bob Lazar. The wild thing is, Joe Rogan is going to continue getting more and more popular. 

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift 

Yes, I know Taylor has been famous forever! She completely upped her game in 2020. In 2019 Taylor lost the rights to her music. So last year, she decided to release two new albums, Folklore and Evermore. Both of these albums were received beautifully and produced many top hits. The best part of this is that Taylor might gain even more buzz. Taylor has said that she has started re-recording all of her music, so she has the right to release the music under her name. 

She has also gained more followers over her social media platforms in the last year. Don’t be shocked if her popularity continues to skyrocket over the next couple of years. 

Social Media’s Power 

As you can see from the above, social media is extremely powerful and influential. All of these people and many others have seen their popularity rise due to social media. This where Wenning Branding can help your company. We can’t promise that you will become like Dixie and Charli D’Amelio and have millions of followers. We can promise is that we can help your company expand its social media presence and gain more followers! 

Aroma Putty Product Highlight

Every year there always seems to be a few trends that blow up. Recently, popular trends have started over social media, so when we found one that didn’t have anything to do with social media, we thought we would cover it. It is called Aroma Putty. 

Putty 1

What is Aroma Putty

Aroma Putty is a silly putty that is scented. The putty is a tad more complicated than just good-smelling putty. Anyone can use Aroma Putty. The putty attempts to reach an older demographic. Since toy stores are closed, impulse purchases are at an all-time low. The power of children to influence their parents to purchase something is essentially non-existent. Aroma Putty rebranded to show how it can help kids who had their schools, activities, or summer camps shuttered with stress relief and focus. It can cater to parents by having more adult scents like rosemary, rose flower, and mint. 

Crazy Aaron

How has Aroma Putty Grown 

Shockingly, Aroma Putty has been able to grow during these challenging times. Small companies that sell Aroma Putty have been able to connect with retailers that they would not have been able to in the past. In the past, there were large conferences held so that companies could sell their product to retailers. Some smaller companies may not have been able to afford the travel needed to attend the Conferences. Now that everything is online, it provides the companies the opportunity to meet the retailers virtually. 

A company that has been using these challenging times to its advantage is Crazy Aarons. They have been sending samples to potential buyers, and packages are delivered straight to potential customer’s homes. They do this because it grants an opportunity to get the toy in a child or adult’s hand at a low price. It has worked because when the putty reaches potential customers, they fall in love with it and see all the potential benefits mentioned above. 

Putty 3

Product Highlight: Crayola Relaxation Aroma Putty 

Crayola’s Aroma Putty use is as a fidgeting and relaxation gift. By squishing and stretching the putty, it releases the soothing scents. The scents from the putty; simultaneously invigorating and calming your senses. The putty helps to satisfy the need to knead or fidget. Besides providing aromatherapy, why else is this product a good purchase? The putty is also safe, non-toxic, and doesn’t leave residue on hands. The product is good to keep in mind if you are buying the putty for young kids. The putty also comes in a reusable and portable package. Lastly, the putty comes in many different scents. Some of those scents are lavender, frankincense, clove, coconut, tea tree, chamomile, lemongrass, orange, spiced apple, eucalyptus, peppermint, and cinnamon. 

Aroma Putty has become such a success because it is more than just a toy. It has been able to provide health benefits to people everywhere, no matter the age. Will aroma putty be successful in the long run, or is it just a trend that will die out? I am not sure, but if I had to guess, I think it will stick around for a while!

10 Reasons to Consider Rebranding

Your brand is what makes your business stand out. If you fail to stand out, your business is likely to fail. Branding is essential for your business. But did you know that knowing when to rebrand is just as, if not more important? If you are curious about when the right time to rebrand is, this blog is perfect for you. We will be going through 10 reasons to consider rebranding, so stay tuned!

rebrand 1

1. You want to turn your brand into a strong brand: 

A strong brand is a brand that stands out among the industry’s competitors. Some strong brands are Nike, Lulu Lemon, and Whole Foods. They are all thought of and associated with the leaders of their respected industries. By creating a strong brand, customers are more likely to choose your product, which leads to more revenue.

Overhaul

2. Your brand may need an overhaul:

People tend to assume that an overhaul is a bad thing. An overhaul can be a very beneficial move for your company. If your brand has become overly complicated or unrecognizable to your consumers, then an overhaul is necessary. See, an overhaul is not necessarily a bad thing! I do not know why rebranding is always negatively seen! It is not!

New Vision

3. Your brand name may no longer reflect your vision:

Take Google as an example. I bet you did not know that their name used to be Backrub. That name is not fitting for Google! The same thing can happen to your brand. The sooner you realize this, the quicker you can help your brand.

Differentiate

4. Your brand is failing to differentiate from the competition:

Netflix and YouTube have the same color sets, so what did Twitch do to make themselves stand out? They used a purple color set, which allowed them to make a strong visual statement and appear different to the consumer.

Moved or expand

5. Your brand moved or expanded:

If your company moved to another state and your brand is not known nationwide, you need to make a splash in the new marketplace.

Negative perceptions

6. Your brand needs to disassociate from negative perceptions:

If there is turmoil at your company, rebranding may help your public perception. The company will be viewed in a new light. Turn your brand into a brand that consumers want to represent.

New Audience

7. Your brand is trying to connect with a new audience:

Look at Coca Cola and their rebrand of Diet Coke. They wanted to target millennials, so they introduced a new can design and a plethora of flavors. Since their rebrand, they have seen a boost in sales from millennials. Your company should use Coca Cola as an example and follow in their footsteps. 

New Product

8. Your brand is launching a new product:

If your company is launching a new product, try creating a unique brand for it. Create a new logo design for the product. Consider even changing the name of the brand for that product. It is a good idea to assign a unique brand to each product your company sells!

Outdated

9. Your branding is outdated to your company:

A new logo design or name can spark new life into your brand. Make sure the name is not too narrow or literal. Instead, focus on something that will get consumers excited and curious about the product.

Outgrown

10. You have outgrown your brand:

McDonald’s and LA Fitness both did not start assuming they would become national chains. They started off as small local businesses that grew to the point that they had to expand. The brand they started with and the brand they have today are different. The same can happen for your brand!

What to do once you have decided to rebrand:

Make sure your company does not make decisions lightly. When rebranding, your decision will have an impact and will affect how the brand is perceived. If you cannot get leadership to buy-in or build the right internal team, you should reconsider rebranding. Everyone has to buy-in and be on the same page. This will ensure that your rebrand is successful. Lastly, define your goals, create a timeline and stick to your budget,

Why Does Branding Exist?

People have many different meanings of the word “branding.” People don’t realize that a brand exists only in the mind of the customer. Branding is a marketing practice where a company creates a name, symbol, or design that makes a COMPANY identifiable. A brand is not a tangible object a company is!        

Smile

Customer’s Impression

Branding exists because a brand can make a memorable impression on consumers and allows customers and clients to know what to expect from a company. The brand is the total of all viewpoints a customer has about a company. Let’s take a deeper dive into the importance of branding.

Everything a company does affects how people view the company. Every interaction sends a message. It is the company’s job to make sure all messages support the brand’s strategy and image. Branding is critical to a business’s success since it changes how people perceive the company. When branding is done correctly, it will drive new business and increase brand awareness.

Vision

Branding Vision

Branding also can unite an audience. People become more committed to a brand if they believe they share the same goals and visions. A great example of this is Gatorade. Gatorade uses professional athletes to promote their products. Why do you think they do this? Children and teenagers are typically the people consuming Gatorade. When they see professional athletes drinking Gatorade, it changes the perception of being a sugar-filled drink to a drink that helps athletes refuel. It creates the vision of “If I drink Gatorade, I can become a professional athlete.” The brand Gatorade is seen as a sports drink that helps athletes perform better. While the company, Gatorade is honestly just another juice company.

As shown above, the way a company brands can create trust within the marketplace. If brands have a positive reception, it can increase a company’s business value by providing more leverage in the industry. Employees who work for companies with successful branding can see improvements in their pride, satisfaction, and work efficiency. Successful branding affects more than just the consumer. It can create a better workplace and create new opportunities in the industry.

5 Ways Fulfillment Can Boost Your Brand

Fulfillment can mean different things to different brands. To us at Wenning Branding fulfillment is branded promotional products in custom printed boxes gifted to your staff or members. Our fulfillment boxes provide customers with an exciting gift or experience. But what else can fulfillment do for your brand?

Customer Loyalty

1. Fulfillment can increase customer loyalty

Customers fuel your business. Gaining loyal customers is an integral part of having a successful business. There are only a finite number of chances to impress customers. By giving out a fulfillment box, you can offer a sample of what your company has to offer.

Money

2. Fulfillment can help bring in repeat sales

If your new customer receives a fulfillment box, your brand is already exceeding that customer’s expectation of your brand. Your brand is now associated with a feeling of happiness and appreciation. The customer is now motivated to come to your gym or purchase your product again. You have now created better customer service in the eyes of your consumers. Customers are more likely to make repeat purchases from a brand that offers an excellent customer experience. Now that your brand creates these unique experiences, you can expect a spike in repeat sales!

Brand Identity

3. Fulfillment will help build brand identity

Not only will word of mouth referrals increase, but your brand presence will expand as well. You might be asking how? As a business student, I learned that a brand could reach a new target market if your brand’s name is on something. For example, a person wears a shirt that your brand gave away. Any person that sees this shirt is now a part of the marketing campaign. Because of this, fulfillment boxes will help maximize visibility for your brand. As well branded, gift-like packaging makes a brand seem more upscale because to the consumer. As a result, it provides value and elevates your brand’s image in a favorable light.

Customer Satisfaction

4. Fulfillment can increase customer satisfaction

When customers have encouraging first experiences, there is a greater chance of turning them into loyal customers. Loyal customers are more likely to recommend you to friends and family. If your brand makes the customer satisfied, then they are more likely to invest in your company. The fulfillment boxes we create will make your customer feel instantly gratified and satisfied.

Customization

5. Fulfillment allows your brand to maximize customization

Fulfillment boxes create personalization for your brand. You can put whatever you want in them. For example, a gym might put a shake bottle, a shirt, and a sweat towel in the box. As well, every box can be different. You can customize specific items for your customers. Personalization allows you to build a connection and bond with your customers. These bonds can lead to some of the other ways we talked about how fulfillment can boost your brand. The possibilities are endless and allow your brand to stand out from competitors!

Everything You Need To Know About Membership Boxes

Clearly, the appeal for branded promotional products is prominent for any company. Branded promotional products in custom printed boxes gifted to your staff or members is what we call fulfillment.

Whether you are a small business or a large corporation, fulfillment impacts your company. What people don’t tend to know is all of the little things that go on in the background and why it costs a pretty penny to have fulfillment done correctly.

Fulfillment Costs

Behind the Scenes

When it’s time to buy new brakes for your car, you know from experience that you’ll have to pay for not only the brake pads, but you’ll also need to pay for the labor. You pay Joe the Mechanic to put your brakes on for you because Joe has the expertise.

There are MANY moving pieces that go into successfully completing fulfillment orders. There are also many necessary fees that go into the promotion boxes, like receiving fees. This covers the labor that goes into getting the items, unpacking and then organizing the material. There’s also the pick and pack fee which covers the labor involved in packing the boxes.

On top of this, there is still even more that goes into fulfillment! Some of these things include accounting for inventory storage and forecasting, kitting and bundling products, shipping the orders, and handling returns. If and when you see a large setup fee, this is why! You pay for the products. You pay for the service. You pay for the expertise so that you don’t have to lift a finger!

Amazon Fulfillment

Expectation vs. Reality

With Amazon taking over the world, people MAY have become spoiled. We assume that everything we buy will be at our doorstep within 2 days. We expect the same fast delivery speed for everything we order. We spend more money on product A vs product B just because it includes “free” shipping. This is called the Amazon Effect.

In reality, the average “click-to-door” time for non-Amazon companies is about 5 days. Amazon provides a great convenience, but we have to understand that they are making an enormous profit because not only do they sell products, but they sell convenience.

Membership Boxes

Who is Fulfillment Perfect For?

Fulfillment boxes can sometimes be considered “pricey.” If you plan on investing in them, you have to be all in! You may want to plan to spend upwards of $500 a month, depending on the size and reoccurrence of orders. If you are a company like a gym or a dance studio, who relies on new members in order to stay in business then fulfillment boxes could be perfect for you!

Consider the general budget for your company. Does your company have an events budget? Was your event cancelled due to COVID? If so, you may be in the perfect position to treat your staff or members with custom gift boxes!

Fulfillment Boxes

Where Does That Leave Me?

If all of this sounds overwhelming and you are not sure if you want to dive into the world of fulfillment, there are many smaller things you can do to treat your clients, staff, members and even prospects all while staying within your budget.

  • You can run giveaways via social media advertising that give away items such as pens, blender bottles, rally towels, and tote bags. All of these items would have your logo on it so not only are you making clients happy you are now advertising your company to other potential leads!
  • You could also giveaway these promotional items to clients when they visit your business.
  • Invest in branded tote bags instead of boxes to set yourself apart from the competition, while still staying in your budget.

What is Fulfillment?

What is Fulfillment and how can it help my business?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary has two definitions for the word fulfillment. The first definition is the act or promise of fulfilling. I’ve always been frustrated by a word that who’s definition uses a version of that word. If I don’t know what the word means, how does this help? The second definition is more what we are looking for although very simplified. The act or process of delivering a product to a customer. Let’s dig into that a little bit, shall we?

A small business owner carries with it a lot of hats you have to wear. As your business grows, you find ways to off-load some of those hats. Sometimes hiring an employee or purchasing software to keep your organized can help, but what about shipping? Let’s face it, shipping items for small businesses can be a hassle. It’s time consuming, costly and requires a lot of storage space. That’s where fulfillment comes in, and here’s how we can help you with it.
