Trade Shows Feedback: Letter openers with your company logo. People keep these items for years.
Trade Shows Feedback: i think mouse pads could be something
Trade Shows Feedback: What is your product line?
The best give aways are not just eye catching, they are useful and if they are directly tied to your product it is even better.
From experience I can tell you that food/candies is the most loved give aways, but people don’t keep them long
Trade Shows Feedback: I went to a tradeshow and a guy stamped his logo and picture on golfballs! It was awesome that he could even do that, so everyone picked one up. It was neato. But yeah, depends on the product/service you’re selling. It doesnt HAVE to be 100% related. That guy’s biz had nothing to do with golf!!! But it was definitely memorable!
Trade Shows Feedback: Maybe some kind of toy they can give to their kids when they get home. Balloons, pencils, pens. Not knowing what kind of trade show you’re doing…
Trade Shows Feedback: It depends on your budget, your product or service and your taget client. Last week I was travelling and received playing cards, pens, a nice lined notebook (it’s 6″ x 8″) that I will use, a messenger bag …
I notice that gifts seem to go in trends. This year I’ve received quite a few very nice notebooks. They are hard covered, ringed and lined.
A few years ago I got lots of canvas bags. I think you could go back to the canvas bag IF you somehow positioned it as an environmental aid - this is helping your client reduce their carbon footprint by reducing their use of plastic bags - that type of positioning.
Something I like at very thin containers of mints that I can carry in my pocket or in my backpak on the plane. I’ve received these from a couple of different airlines and hotels. They have about two dozen small breath mints in them and come in a 2″ x 3″ plastic package with the company logo on it.
Trade Shows Feedback: When I was doing tradeshows, I always wanted to do flash drives, but my company wouldn’t spend the money.
Mint tins are pretty good, post-it notes, or anything useful to have around the office — I kept and used stuff from a mailing company that gave out rulers and information cards about postal sizes.
Trade Shows Feedback: Hello,
Every always keeps pens, keytags, shirts, cups, highlighters, ets. Depending on the season, for winter you can hand out ice scrapers for cars, gloves, travel mug, etc. Summer, you can hand out beach balls, frisbees, mini fans, handheld fans, bookmarks, etc.
I buy my giveaways from Best Buy Imprints. They have excellent prices.
Good Luck,
CM
Trade Shows Feedback: One of my favorites is the plastic bag used to carry everyone’s stuff. They are cheap and are like passing out signs.
Another is an inexpensive wall calendar. Once they are in use, you have the advertising affect for twelve months!
