Promotional items are more than just giveaways — they’re an opportunity to create a deeper connection with your audience and leave a lasting impression. Whether your financial institution is participating in a community event, promoting a special loan offer, or setting up a booth at a conference, the right promotional products can not only enhance the experience but also extend your brand’s reach. From logo-branded mugs to reusable tote bags, these items will serve as a reminder of your event long after it’s over.

If you are planning an event or promotional giveaway but don’t know where to begin to look for quality items, start by visiting LKCS’ logoed products online store at getlogoed.lk-cs.com.

But before you start, let’s look at the site and explore the options available. Whether it’s your first time browsing or a returning customer, the site is broken down into several key areas that make searching for and ordering promotional items a breeze.

Let’s start by looking at the home page

There’s a lot to explore so we’ll take a closer look at what you’ll find in some key areas.

We’ve made it easy for you to view products based on the event you are planning or promotion you are marketing! We’ve done the hard work of searching through the hundreds of thousands of available products and organizing them by events, promotions, and seasons.

Drop down menus are a quick way to jump to results for these top five categories. If you have a product in mind, start a search here. Rotating banners highlight a seasonal product.

LKCS is a promotional product distributor and proud member of the Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI). If you want to learn more about this, click on the Read More Button in the Welcome Section.

We’re going to skip that and scroll down to the next section of the site:

ASI-recommended products are highlighted here. Each page refresh brings a new assortment of customer approved products. Click on any one of the products shown for full details, or navigate to the two links beneath the product photos.

If you click on the See all Products link, you will be taken to a landing page showing all the products that correspond with the six items shown above, plus more options. But if you want a broad overview of all the product categories available, just click on the See all Product Collections.

Next up is the Product of the Day

Here one featured product takes center stage. A quick glance at this section might be all it takes to prompt an order. Or you might simply be interested in reading one of several current industry-related articles.

By clicking on the featured product of the day, you’ll see its assigned CPN number (LKCS’ Coded Product Number) with a short description and pricing breakdowns for specific quantities.

NOTE: some products require a minimum order.

Images are available here to download. Other color options will be shown along with a blank option too. Save your favorites or add items to your order.

Some products offer the opportunity to create a virtual sample.

Upload your logo to the sample or type in text instead. If you just want a blank image, create one with the Create Blank Image button. Click the save button to save your logoed product.

Some of LKCS’ customers start their searches in the last section of the site, the Event Planner. Marketers might not have items in mind yet, but they have an event or promotion that’s scheduled. ASI once again highlights the top categories.

Here’s what customers might find if they click on the Golf Tournament link:

Most items show are based on their price level. Silver items are mid-price range. Product text includes marketing suggestions.

Proceeding to Checkout:

If you’ve added items to your cart, you can check out from there. Keep in mind that some promotional items require a minimum quantity to order. If you have a logo or artwork to add to the product, you can upload it at checkout.

In the shopping cart, you can upload a logo under Artwork. If a quantity entered is smaller than the required minimum shown, you will be notified.

Need suggestions or advice?

LKCS’ customer service representatives are also available to help you with product ideas and ordering. They can search through a vast selection of products to find items that fit within your budget. They will also confirm if the artwork you provide meets production standards or if it will incur any set up fees. If you need to get approval for your promotional items before ordering, LKCS can also create a product presentation to pass along to the decision makers.

Here are some of the top seasonal events and promotions that LKCS helped financial institutions with last year:

• Spring Annual Meetings
• Summer Golf Outings
• Fall Fairs & Festivals
• Christmas Club Promotions

When it comes to hosting a successful seasonal event, it’s not just about what happens at the event — it’s also about creating lasting impressions before, during, and long after the festivities have ended. Promotional items are an excellent way to keep your event top-of-mind and build excitement among your account holders. Visit getlogoed.lk-cs.com to find the products on your list or call 815.223.0391.
