The question that gets asked often is how do I select the right promotional gifts for my business? ­­­ It does depend on what you are trying to achieve with the gifts, are they a thank you for an order or are they trying to generate interest in your company? Your budget is also very important.
If you are trying to generate business then usually you will be sending a large amount of items as a mailer or if you are at a trade show or conference.
You need to consider the size of the product as to mail large items quite often is more expensive than the product itself, the ever popular gift is the promotional pen as these fit the criteria perfectly, light, small can fit most budgets and they can be printed with your company logo and contact details.
They also work well for conferences as well as everyone will need to write down relevant details as they walk around, there is a great choice for all budgets from plastic pens, metal pens and even retail brand names including Parker pens, BIC pens, Prodir pens and Sheaffer pens.
Another popular trade show gift is the conference bag.
Again like the previous item they are light and practical, everyone will find them useful when walking around the show collecting brochures.
They also have a great branding area an idea might be to put the stand number on the bag so that your potential customer could be helping you advertise as they walk around the show.
For those who are looking for a gift to say thank you usually get a more expensive gift and less of them.
Desktop gifts are always popular and a perfect gift is an engraved metal clock.
There are some great chrome metal clocks that look very stylish and are a great way to say thank you another promotional gift that stands out from the crowd is a stylish photograph frame, these are ever popular and are great to be associated with happy times.
Whatever gift you choose we are sure you will find it will be appreciated by your customer.
