Promotions companies work throughout South Africa developing promotional events.

These can include:

• Organising brand activations
• Researching customer views through field marketing
• Running experiential marketing events
• Inventing trade show solutions
• Design, print, and production of promotional material
• Developing media strategies
• Managing events, expos, roadshows, and conferences

Promotional companies operate in supermarkets, conference halls, corporate meetings, or on the street. They’ve got the expertise to understand your product/service, study the industry, and develop a promotional campaign to boost your business. The result is more awareness, more customers, and more sales.

Why do brands advertise? Why do they do marketing at all? Because it’s not sufficient to merely have a fantastic product. You need to tell your customers about it. All the best companies understand this – even Coca Cola continues to do promotions, despite dominating the soft drinks market. No brand can rely on prior success.

When a brand launches a new product, they’ve spent months (even years) perfecting their design or recipe. The same is true of their services. So much thought has gone into every aspect; after all, no product idea begins ready for the shop shelf.

No customer understands this. That’s the job of a promotional company – to explain why a customer should buy the product/service. It does this through in-person events.

They’re bespoke, personal, intimate. They’re a chance for a trained promotions team to generate a buzz – that will carry through into the online world.

Neither do brands have the time or expertise to create such a comprehensive promotional strategy. Often, they need to meet tight deadlines. That’s why even the best companies turn to a promotions company like Isilumko Activate. We have the resources and experience to run successful marketing campaigns, transforming your brand image.
