Top 5 Custom Promotional Products
Mark Etinger
Everyone likes free things. Even if they only use them once, they recognize that they are the recipients of a nice gesture. Ideally, however, it’s important to be able to keep and enjoy the custom promotional items you have. You want to remember fondly the company that gave you these custom promotional items, not forget about them as soon as you place another of those promotional pens in that jar on your work table. With this list, you will have an easier time of getting your patrons to do so.
1. Promotional Pens: Arguably the most popular of all business promotional items, the pen is an easy item to make poorly. No one likes cheap pens. They’re hard to get the ink flowing from, they crack, get lost, and generally just become clutter. Everyone likes nice pens, though. That means you should spend a little more in a nice pen, even if you don’t choose as many, than getting tons of cheap pens and spreading the wealth. This will enhance the luxury value of your company, and patrons will appreciate your services all the more because they will feel more special.
2. Hygiene: Promotional items that are hygienic and useful, such as hand sanitizer, breath mints, and chapstick are big hits. People like to remember companies that make them feel better about themselves.
3. Green: Custom printed bags are a great way to show that you care about the earth. Besides recycling your bag, you are preventing plastic bags from being used and eventually winding up in the huge plastic tidal pool in the middle of the Pacific.
4. Stress Relievers: We are all stressed out, even if we say we’re not. We just carry it in different places – our neck, our shoulders, lower back. Even those yogi masters don’t mind playing with a a new stress squeegee ball, which you can easily customize to reflect the uniqueness of your company.
5. Umbrellas: Because being caught in the rain isn’t fun, and when we’re out we often lose our umbrellas by forgetting to take them with us. Thus everyone needs an umbrella, and most people need more than one. This goes back to the practicality of trade show promotional items: the more use people can get from them, the likelier they are to remember where and from whom they received them.
There you have it friends. If you’re going to a trade show soon, and want some custom promotional items to give folks, or even if you’re not headed to a trade show, and you just like to give things to your loyal customers, these five ideas will surely be a success.
