Do-It-Yourself Custom-Branded Promotional Items

Promotional Items Tutors Should Absolutely AVOID

  • Branded Clothing:

    • Your students do NOT want to wear anything with your logo on it.

  • Candy, Cookies, or Anything Else That's Edible

    • Giving away anything edible is a little creepy. 

  • Cash, Gift Cards, Discounts, and Anything Else That Feels Like a Kickback.

    • Nothing says "we value you as a customer" like, "New customers are worth $50.00!"

  • Anything You Wouldn't Enthusiastically Use or Give To Your Own Child.

    • This includes fidget spinners, obviously.
