Top 5 Promotional gifts to giveaway at trade shows

Up and down the country trade shows are put on for all sorts of reasons. In the promotional and business gifts world, these trade shows are organised by suppliers as a way of enticing new customers in to start working with them and also to show current customers why they should remain working with them. There are hundreds of stalls there with hundreds of different people all saying the same sort of thing. So how do you stand out from the crowd?
Often the most effective way of doing this is by using exciting and eye-catching giveaways that are going to draw people to your stall. Once they have been drawn over then you have their attention and can start selling your company to them but they need that initial reason to approach you.

Here are 5 great gifts to giveaway at a trade show:

Cotton shopper bags

At these shows you are constantly being handed brochures and leaflets so a bag is a great giveaway as you can keep all these things in it. They are also very cheap, environmentally friendly and have plenty of space to print your company details on. They will also be carried round the trade show all day on someone’s shoulder and are therefore like a walking advertisement for your company. You’ll soon have people flocking round your stall in no time.

Pens

It may seem like an obvious one but pens really are one of the best things to giveaway at trade shows. They are light and small and can be placed in someone’s pocket or bag without annoying them. They are also guaranteed to be used as pens always come in handy. Print your company name and a few details on the pen and you will soon have people calling up enquiring about you.

Keyrings

Again they are a great product as like pens they are lightweight and small and can be fitted straight onto one’s keys so they are always there as a hanging advertisement at the tip of your fingers.

Chocolates

Walking round these trade shows all day can be hungry work so handing out small boxes of or individually wrapped chocolates is a really good idea. They are also a brilliant way of drumming up a buzz round your stall as who can say no to a delicious chocolate or two?

Mousemats

Mousemats are a very useable and handy item and also come very cheap. They come in a range of styles and materials and have plenty of printing space so you can maximise your advertising advantage. They are also very light so are not going to be a drag to carry round all day in your bag.

So if you are a supplier who is going to be promoting at a trade show, do not overlook the significance of promotional giveaways they really are effective especially if you think out of the box and offer something unique that everybody is going to want.
