Promotional Items Branding Guidelines Revision & Extension
Goals To expand upon the existing promotional item section of the Branding Guidelines to: Effectively utilize promotional items as one tactic in an integrated marketing campaign. Strengthen UC Health brand and compliment current one system branding by streamlining approved imprints to prevent brand dilution. Cut production costs by ordering in bulk and eliminating unnecessary set-up fees for new promo items from different manufactures for the same item.
