Video Game Manufacturers Use Challenge Coins to Promote New Titles

Written by All About Pins | Aug 31, 2012 4:00:00 AM
We’ve been noticing a growing trend lately.  More and more video game manufacturers are including challenge coins as gifts with purchase.  Whenever one of their customers buys a new title, they are given a limited edition challenge coin that ties into the game’s theme.  This is a great way to boost sales, create a buzz about a company, and make fans feel special.  Who would have ever thought that one coin could do all that? Video game challenge coins maintain thematic realism. For example, military games = military traditions = coins.  Symbolic of heroism, challenge coins have been a long standing tradition with the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.  The ever popular Call of Duty is releasing a new game Black Ops 2 this November and their collector editions come with a challenge coin.  This is a great way to grab attention and increase sales. Coins to promote product launches are very popular.  If you want to grab people’s attention, you can do so easily with a highly stylized gift like a collectible coin.  Sequentially numbered, these items have a greater perceived value than other giveaway items like t-shirts and mugs.  People are more likely to hang onto them for years and years. Video game coins can have a decorative edge on them.  They can also feature things like 3D images, dual plating, and antiqued metal.  The highly stylized pieces of memorabilia can also be created as medallions or bottle openers.  This makes the gifts functional and attractive. Promote your newest video game title with a fun and meaningful collector’s item.  Visit http://www.allaboutchallengecoins.com to see the different styles of coins available.  Submit your inquiry and questions to info@allaboutchallengecoins.com.  You can also call 1-800-667-5931 toll-free.  We’ll honor your request for a free price quote and full color digital proof.
