What are the best giveaway ideas for your company among the endless giveaway suggestions on the Internet?

A cost analysis is necessary

Can you really give things away at your exhibition while others give them away? If you don’t believe you can justify it, don’t give it away!

Your event can be more successful when you give away giveaways cost-effectively and correctly. Alternatively, you might give away these items only as a gift to your potential leads and sales prospects.

If you manufacture your own products, shouldn’t you be giving samples of them away? It will save you money, and it will give your customers more information about your product. At a recent event, we gave out seed paper samples to promote our eco-friendly displays.

Brand it

You should brand and link all promotional items to your brand.

A logo that reinforces your company’s identity will help people identify your freebie. This example illustrates how brand recall works. The price quoted for single color printing should be double checked with the supplier.

Whatever item you choose to buy, consider how you can customize it to make it more distinctive. For marketing plush toys, holes are punched into business cards and used as flyers.

Wouldn’t you like to put branded packaging on your sweets? Or how about adding stickers? There will be no satisfaction for their hunger. Make your brand unique!

Summary

The promotional product market is rich with options. The giveaway should fit your event and your budget as well as be relevant.

When writing, it is important to keep your audience in mind. Is office stationery necessary for corporate types? For your creative audience, what type of giveaways would you prefer that are multi-purpose and eco-friendly?

Make sure you give away something that symbolizes your brand both during the event and in the long run to make the most of your brand recall.
