How do you make your promotional gifts stand out from the crowded field of your industry? Do you want to go for quirky gimmicks and doodads, or would you rather put your branding efforts on a promo that will get used in all sorts of situations? Since you're going for exposure and brand awareness, many times the second option is the one that works out the best.
If you aren't sure what practical promotional product would be best for your business, consider your goals. Do you have a business that would match up perfectly to a particular type of promotional product, or are you looking at this from a more general standpoint? If you already know where you will be handing out your promotional gifts, then finding a great item that will be used at that very place will help you to get tons of exposure for your business.
Once you've determined the main goal and place of distribution for your practical promotional gifts, you might need to brainstorm exactly what you would like to hand out. There a literally thousands, if not millions, of promo gifts out there – so this part can be the most difficult. Here are a few ideas to start you off, and remember – think about the overall impression these gifts will give people of your business.
Practical Promotional Gift Ideas
1.Promotional Pens – Yes, pretty much everyone gives these out, but think about it. If everyone else is giving them out too, they're probably a pretty good return on investment. Plus, people go through pens rather quickly, so earning a place in their backup pen collection is always a good idea. You can always go all out and get some very expensive pens done up – that will leave an impression in the field of cheap ballpoints.
2.Promotional Magnets – These might not get much play outside of the office break room, but you should get some in house promos.
3.Promotional Totes – These work out pretty well at trade shows and similar venues. You give them a handy bag to put all of their swag in, and you'll hopefully get some use outside of the show as well.
4.Promotional MP3 Players – While most people do own their own MP3 Players, you might get a few that haven't jumped on the bandwagon yet, along with others that are happy to have more than one MP3 Player.
5.Promotional Keyrings – Keychains are pretty useful in and of themselves, and you can also add in things like keychain tools and flashlights.
6.Promotional Mugs – It's split between in office and in house use, but either way most promo mugs do get a lot of use, and thus, a lot of brand exposure.
7.USB Drives – This is an up and coming popular promotional item. While it is on the more expensive side, USB drives are super useful and will almost always be put into use, no matter who you give it to.
8.Notepads – You would think that not many people use notepads, but they are always good for jotting down various notes.
