In today's competitive world, it is hard for your brand to stand out. One way to bring attention to your company is through promotional items. However, how do you decide on items that potential customers want? You do not want to hand out stuff people will toss into the trash can? Here are seven effective promotional items that customers will appreciate.
1- Pickleball Paddle Set
Right now, pickleball is everyone. It is a perfect item for all ages. People can use them at the beach, park, and the backyard. The paddle presents plenty of room for customization. Companies can put their logo on one side and other information on the back. Do not forget about the carrying bag. It is another surface to get your name out there.
2- Custom Branded Hat
There is no surprise hats are promotional items people appreciate. Just about everyone wears a hat. Hats are great items to give to team members to wear when they are representing your company. They are a great item to hand out at tradeshows and other events.
3- Stickers
Stickers may be small, but they pack a punch. They are relatively inexpensive. However, people love stickers. Regardless of where they get stuck, they will be promoting your company. They are the perfect size for including in mailers, event giveaways, or to have on hand for a spur-of-the-moment giveaway.
4- Tote Bags
Tote bags are more popular than ever. People are saying goodbye to one-use bags and are looking for bags they can take to the grocery store, library, and farmer's markets. People often use the same bag multiple times, and you can never have too many.
5- Pens
Pens are a great promotional item because everyone uses them. Whether people keep pens in the car, purse, or briefcase, it is a welcome gift. Businesses can provide them on their countertops for people to take or even send them as a gift through the mail. Plus, companies of all sizes can afford pens as a promotional item.
6- Drinkware
Now, most people carry a water bottle with them all the time, making drinkware a great promotional item. However, do not stop at water bottles. Mugs, wine glasses, tumblers, cups with straws, and glassware have plenty of surface space for personalization with your company's name and logo. Customers will appreciate them for the fact they are reusable. Just think about how many people will see your logo when someone takes your water bottle to the gym or enjoys a coffee at the office with your company's mug.
7- Notepads
Just think about how often you were on the phone in your car and needed to write down something, but you did not have a notepad. Notepads are in the category of helpful promotional items. It goes the same for sticky notes. Notepads and sticky notes are small enough to slip into a purse, glove compartment, or backpack. When someone takes the pad out to write a grocery list or jots down a message, it will advertise your company.
