7 Fun Promotional Products to Celebrate Your Business


When attending events, people coming to your booth enjoy picking up promotional products that remind them of your business and are useful in their homes.

A study by the Advertising Specialty Institute revealed an 85% recall rate on promotional items. In addition, most households have an average of 30 promotional items, including pens, mugs, and travel accessories, which help increase the recall rate for businesses. 

Handing out promotional items has many benefits for businesses, including: 

  • Increasing website traffic
  • Boosting brand awareness
  • Helping increase free customer reviews and referrals
  • Finding new social media followers

Below are seven fun promotional products to celebrate your business and hand out to customers and potential customers.

7 Fun Promotional Products to Celebrate Your Business

1. Coffee Cups and Mugs

Branded coffee cups and mugs are a favorite among those who collect promotional products and swag. Clients and customers will be reminded of your business every time they enjoy their morning coffee or cup of tea. 

2. Portable Chargers or Power Banks

Everyone has some portable electronic device, such as phones and tablets, which they carry.

Giving out portable chargers or power banks offers customers a way to charge their wireless devices without finding an outlet. Many people do not spend the money on these devices and will carry the one given to them with your company logo everywhere they go. 

3. Travel Pack and Accessories

Several accessories help travelers make their journeys much more effortless and offer a unique opportunity to create and distribute promotional items.

Create a travel pack and accessories if you have travel customers, such as travel notepads, passport holders, organizers, and bag tags. 

4. Food, Snacks, and Chocolates

Food, snacks, and chocolates make for good prizes or promotional giveaways.

Work with a local food brand to create branded goodies to give away to customers or at an upcoming community event. Promotional food, snacks, and chocolates include fruit baskets, cookies, pastries, boxes of chocolates, and cakes. Include a thoughtful card and personalize the promotional basket for the client or customer you send it to.

5. Pens, Pencils, and Highlighters

Some of the everyday things people grab from event tables and businesses are pens, pencils, and highlighters. These are popular items and very affordable when looking for branded promotional items to give away. 

6. LED Flashlights

LED flashlights can be full-sized flashlights or as small as keychains and are popular giveaways at events. Use branded LED lights as prizes to winners who stop by your booth during a promotional event. 

7. Reusable Water Bottles

Today, everyone has a reusable water bottle they use to go to the gym, go walking, or have with them when out of the house. In addition, branded reusable water bottles are perfect giveaways at events and can be spruced up with built-in diffusers, straws, etc. 

Whether you are looking for some promotional items to send out to clients, use as giveaways, or hand out at an upcoming promotional event, there are many to choose from that people love.

Selecting the best promotional item to hand out ensures people who receive it will keep it in their homes or pass it along to someone else who may be able to use it all while keeping your brand top of mind.

Dad-Approved Print Marketing: Tough, Practical, and Built to Last

  Father’s Day may be behind us, but the dad energy lives on. You know what we’re talking about—classic dad traits: practical, no-nonsense, a little sarcastic, probably wearing cargo shorts, and definitely giving side-eye to your “modern” marketing campaign. And if we’re being honest? Your next print project could probably use a little more of that. So let’s take a moment—post-Father’s Day—to appreciate what dads (and dad-like marketing) have always done best: kept things simple, sturdy, and surprisingly effective. Here’s what your next print piece might look like if it were designed by everyone’s favorite unofficial brand strategist: Dad. 1. Paper So Thick It Could Be a Coaster If your brochure can't double as a shim for a wobbly table leg, your dad would probably question your paper choice. He doesn’t believe in flimsy print. Neither should you. Thick stock = serious message. 2. Fonts You Can Read From Across the Garage Your dad doesn’t “squint at design.” He wants to se...
