Why Do You Need Custom Promotional Products?
Whether you own a small business or multiple corporate locations across the country, promotional giveaways can bring a lot of brand value. We like to think of custom promotional items as small billboards without the huge advertising cost.
Just read stat from Promotional Products Association International: people who receive promotional gifts are 83% more likely to do business with the brand. We like those numbers for your business!
What Are the Top Promotional Item Categories?
The most popular product categories for promotions include drinkware, bags, keychains, pens and stationery. Let's look at the benefits and examples for each product type to help you shop.
Quality personalized pens at low prices are our specialty here at National Pen. Shop a variety of pens – including plastic, metal, gel ink, and stylus pens – and imprint with your name, company logo, or message. We make it quick and easy to create customized engraved pens for your office, events, customer meetings, and more! Tip: See the best pens by the most popular categories.
These logo items will always be popular because they easily fit into purses, travel bags, and car consoles so your recipients are ready when the writing itch strikes. We offer plenty of stationery options, from colorful custom sticky notes to notepads and notebooks. Stationery sets with a notepad and pen are an ideal gift when you're looking to impress. One last suggestion: promotional calendars can’t be beat when it comes to exposure for your business. Your logo will be seen for a minimum of one year—and for such an affordable price!
Keychains are affordable promotional items that make for great year-round gifts. Plastic keychains are always loved by companies because of the different shapes and styles they come in. Your imprint will stand out on a house-, heart-, or hard hat-shaped keychain! Order metal keychains for an expensive feel that won't break the bank. Many are laser engraved, which give off a professional impression. Promotional keychain flashlights are also great to use in your marketing toolkit, especially because you get two quality products in one. Customer will love having a handy flashlight on their keyring to light their way.
Logo drinkware is another favorite in the promotional items world. It makes sense because drinkware is such an integral part in everyone's day. Your customers or prospects wake up and pour coffee into a logo coffee mug. Then they take their next cup to go in a custom travel tumbler, which is when your logo gets great exposure on the bus, at the gym, and in the office. It's the type of advertising that normally would cost a fortune—but with branded drinkware, you can easily get your name out at a very reasonable price.
When businesses are looking to add promotional gifts into their marketing mix, custom bags and totes are always on our list of product recommendations. Here's why: bags are naturally the type of thing people take on the go, which gets your logo and contact information in front of a lot of eyes—and for the price of just one bag! Custom bags are also extremely affordable promotional items, so you'll be comfortable giving them out to a large group at trade shows or events. You can also consider giving custom reusable shopping bags to your clients or team of employees.
