Promotional Items for Inexpensive Advertising

When I attend parties or events, one thing I always look forward to receiving is some kind of souvenir or something to remember the occasion by. I even had a collection of pens, mugs, shirts, etc., and I kept them all in boxes when we were still living in Navotas.
This love of collecting memorabilia has continued on now that I’ve started joining blogger events. And my favorites are these promotional key chains. Yes, I love key chains! I’ve got a whole bunch of them and these 2 are the ones I use now.

If you ask me, giving away souvenirs like these, engraved with your company’s logo or new product’s name is a pretty inexpensive marketing strategy. The name recall and the subtle advertising do pay off, especially if you decide on a promo item that’s made to last.
I’ve actually used this promotional strategy when I gave away goodies to my customers back in November and December last year. I printed out promotional gift tags and cards with my business’ name on it. And after those giveaways, I observed that there were more customers coming in. Here’s a photo of the gift tags I printed for my Halloween giveaway:

And when you talk about promotional items, you can never forget about Branders.com. I’ve read about them online and they’re the world’s largest online seller of promotional items, perfect for those companies who are looking for a simple yet effective way to market their company and/or their products.
When you join their site, you get to choose from over 5,000 promotional items like mugs, pens, eco-bags, shirts, key tags/chains etc. And they also offer competitively low prices.
Once you’ve selected a promo item, just add your logo and preview the outcome using their patented Design Studio technology. And once you’re done with that, you can get a price quote that’ll be locked for 30 days.
Oh, by the way, right now (as of June 15th), when you sign up, you can get a sample for free! What a treat!
I chose this black mug and used their Design Studio to add Certified Foodies’ logo. Nice, eh?

Branders.com’s site is also very user-friendly so, in a jiffy, you can come up with your promo/souvenir item mock-ups for your proposals to your boss. Go check out their site for your promotional items needs! :)
