      Video Production Review from Bryce McPartland

      We were referred to colormatics by our ad people at krem. We compared pricing and products of colormatics against a number of industry-specific marketing providers. Colormatics had the strongest portfolio and, surprisingly, offered exceptional pricing. Colormatics laid out a full shoot schedule which was pre-approved. They arrived on scene early one morning and traveled across central Washington to four separate locations to make an exceptionally tight yet comprehensive video about our firm. We began around 8 am and wrapped about 430 pm. Colormatics maintained excellent lines of communication including via email, text, cell and the video editing platform that they utilized. I always felt "in the loop" with them.

      Video Production Review from Allison Grunthaner Gibicsar

      Colormatics has been an outstanding partner in creating a huge amount of assets needed for our biggest product launch of 2023. This includes but is not limited to: social media videos, product videos, mattress cutaway visualizations, YouTube bumpers, edited b-roll, and more. The whole team is always willing to hop on the phone or quickly answer an email, with fast asset delivery and willingness to bring forth suggestions/solves outside of their scope.

      Video Production Review from Ryan Throckmorton

      Our team developed the idea of showcasing individuals who are making a positive impact online within their own communities. When we shared the concept with Colormatics, they immediately explored creative ways to bring it to life visually. They transformed our vision into a compelling visual narrative. The final piece blended live-action footage with motion graphics. We conducted interviews and also wanted to highlight the social media activity of these community members. Their profiles were used as a storytelling device, appearing almost like flashbacks, but animated in a way that made the content feel like it was unfolding in real time. We’re now experimenting with turning interview voiceovers into animated illustrations. We believe these could resonate even more on social platforms. The plan was to compare performance between the two video styles, and we’re looking forward to testing them soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do promotional marketing companies do?

Promotional marketing companies create campaigns that boost brand awareness, engagement, and customer action, using digital marketing, direct marketing, and experiential marketing.

They create giveaways, branded merchandise, contests, events, and digital promotions to attract attention and motivate purchases.

What factors affect promotional marketing agency pricing?

The type of promotion, the number of channels involved, and the level of creative work required influence the cost of promotional marketing pricing. Nationwide events, branded merchandise programs, or multi-channel digital promotions cost more due to higher production and logistics needs.

Materials, volume of promotional items, influencer or talent fees, distribution costs, and campaign duration also affect the price. Promotional marketing agencies with more experience or specialized capabilities may charge higher rates, especially if a project requires custom design, strategy, or advanced tracking.

Can I get a free consultation from a promotional marketing company?

Yes, many promotional marketing companies offer a free consultation to assess your goals and discuss possible strategies. It’s a good way to explore their approach and see whether they’re a good fit.

Before booking a consultation, make sure you clarify:

  • What’s included in the free consultation
  • If the consultation comes with any obligations
  • What information you should provide to make the session productive

What's included in a typical promotional marketing service package?

A typical promotional marketing service package includes the following services:

  • Campaign strategy
  • Creative development
  • Campaign execution

Core elements often cover:

  • Branded merchandise
  • Giveaways
  • Contests
  • Event activations
  • Digital promotions
  • Social media support
  • Product sourcing, printing, and fulfillment
  • Logistics and performance tracking

What questions should I ask a promotional marketing firm before hiring it?

Before hiring a promotional marketing firm, ask questions that clarify their experience, process, and expected outcomes, such as:

  1. What similar campaigns have you executed, and what were the results?
  2. How do you measure campaign success, and what KPIs will you track?
  3. What’s included in your service package, and are there additional costs?
  4. How do you handle product sourcing, logistics, and fulfillment?
  5. What is the expected timeline for planning, production, and launch?
  6. Will I receive regular updates or performance reports?

What kind of portfolio should a promotional marketing agency have?

A promotional marketing agency should have a portfolio that showcases examples of promotional marketing campaigns across different industries and promotional formats. Look for examples of branded merchandise, contests, experiential events, digital promotions, and integrated campaigns that demonstrate creativity and strategic execution.

The portfolio should highlight measurable outcomes, such as increases in engagement, lead generation, sales lift, or event participation. Strong case studies, high-quality visuals, and clear storytelling indicate that the agency can deliver effective, scalable promotions tailored to your brand’s goals.
