Celebrating 30 Years | Beyond the Screen: How NEMA Associates, Inc. Does Effective Tangible Branding

Intro

In today's digital-first marketing world, it's so easy to get caught up in clicks, likes, and shares. However, real branding lives deeper than the screen. It's about creating experiences, leaving impressions, and building connections that people can touch, see, and feel. That's where NEMA Associates, Inc. shines. For over 30 years, NEMA has been an innovator in both the digital and traditional marketing worlds, pioneering its position as a leader in developing tangible branded devices, materials, and products with ease. But, while the digital sphere often steals the spotlight, more tangible branding remains very much a cornerstone of the marketing mix with consumers. Why? Well, tangible branding turns your company's identity into a physical presence-one that speaks to your audience in a deeply personal and memorable way.  

The Power of Tangible Branding

When was the last time you saw a well-designed company T-shirt, vehicle wrap, or branded giveaway and didn't immediately associate it with professionalism or credibility? Probably not often. That's because physical branding works. It has staying power. It creates everyday memory recalls in consumers, turning a brand into a lifestyle or known and trusted brand.

For example, consider the person cruising down the freeway and noticing a quality designed vehicle wrap for a brand. That brand recognition might lead to a Google search, a discussion, or an exchange in business. And when it comes to branded apparel, such as fashionably cool hoodies, hats, even tote bags—well, that's not just a useful item, but rather a walking billboard for your company.

Why Tangible Branding Still Matters

  • Improves Memorability: Branded items offer a sensory experience that is just not possible through digital media. The feel of high-quality materials, the boldness of your colors, the ingenuity in the placement of your logo-these are things people remember.
  • Increases Reach: One car wrap or T-shirt covers not just one customer, but every soul he or she comes across while wearing it or using it. A moving billboard.
  • Builds Credibility: Real branding speaks volumes of the quality and attention that your company pays to details, thus proving professionalism and a degree of trust to the targeted audience.
  • Seamlessly Connects with Digital Campaigns: Savvy marketing connects tangible branding with the digital space, including a custom QR code on an item being given away that takes customers to your social media or website.

NEMA Associates: 30 Years of Mastering Tangible Marketing

With over three decades of experience, NEMA Associates has established a legacy of excellence within the branding world. While the DNA of digital innovation at the company is important, it's the seamless integration with traditional and tangible branding that makes it a real game-changer. NEMA crafts cohesive branding strategies where every element supports your business objectives.

Branded Clothing That Resonates

NEMA's knowledge of branded apparel goes well past the usual creation of standard giveaways. The team knows that where your logo goes, reflects who your company is. That's why NEMA produces high-quality wearables that people want to wear. Whether it's the latest athleisure, classic polos for corporate events, or limited-edition items to celebrate a product launch, NEMA will make sure your branded apparel speaks volumes to tell your story or reinforce your values. From corporate apparel to industrial uniforms, our experience is second to none.

Vehicle Wraps That Drive Visibility

Vehicle wraps are a perfect example of how NEMA bridges creativity with functionality. A single-wrapped car, truck, or van can generate tens of thousands of impressions daily. NEMA designs and installs wraps that are visually striking and strategically aligned with your marketing goals. Whether you’re a small business looking to boost local awareness or a nationwide brand aiming for cohesive fleet branding, NEMA creates solutions that move the needle.

Creative Print Media That Turns Heads

Flyers, brochures, posters, banners–maybe these are old-school methods of marketing. Why not? Because they're tangible, shareable, and perfect for face-to-face interactions. NEMA gives the meaning of printed media to the next level with catching designs, high-quality materials, and a philosophy geared toward creating keepsakes.

But that is not all; NEMA also manufactures custom-branded products, including retail product packaging, promotional items, and even event collateral such as branded step-and-repeat backdrops and displays used to outfit your presence at any trade show.

The Marketing Mix: Why Tangible Branding Can't Be Optional

Balance is what a marketing strategy requires to create a successful brand. As much as digital channels are vital for reach and analytics, tangible branding is equally important for depth and connection. Think of it this way: digital marketing may attract the attention, but tangible branding builds the relationship.

A well-executed tangible branding campaign complements your digital efforts. For example:

  • A limited-edition branded hoodie from your company can generate online chatter when fans post pictures in that hoodie.
  • A well-designed brochure handed out at an event can create traffic to your website with an embedded, not-so-subtle QR code.
  • A fleet of branded vehicles can reinforce your company's presence in key areas and create a cohesive, instantly recognizable identity for your customers as a moving billboard.

NEMA Associates gets this balance and works to help each client understand what portions of their marketing mix strike a chord online and offline.
