Finding Clients
While Scott M. Slade, president of Hauppauge, New York-based Lanco Corporation, listed markets good for health care promotions—health and fitness centers, spas, pharmacies, doctor's offices, nursing homes—he stressed that they are not the only companies interested in health items. "Health care products are also attractive to non-health-related business," he said. He offered an example. "We manufactured a very large quantity of credit card hand sanitizer sprays for a cobranding initiative between Walmart and two credit card companies," he said. "The hand sanitizer container looked like a credit card along with the artwork, which looked like a card. It was the perfect combination of a great branding initiative with a functional form factor and an item that has mass appeal." He listed more opportunities for health care items in non-health fields: lip balms and sunscreen for ski resorts and beach clubs; and hand sanitizers, first-aid kits and pill cases for offices or schools.
