When I am attempting to find those items for a client that is not just inexpensive, but are memorable and can have a good return on investment (ROI) I ask a lot of questions. Budget, quantity needed, demographics of the people you are giving the items too, the theme of the event, timeframe till the event, location of the event, weather at this location, etc. If you miss one of these crucial questions you might be just that person handing out ice to Eskimos in the winter. You will end up leaving the wrong impression and your marketing dollars were spent unwisely.
A good marketing director or sales rep knows to look at all the factors so that you can get that “Bang for your Buck” effect. Here are a few examples.
LIP BALMS: Great for a Snow/Ski events. Small item that a skier would need and use. A low priced item that gets the job done.
RALLY TOWEL: Great for your favorite sports team co-branded with the team’s logo, if you are an approved sponsor. Low priced team spirit item that gets waived around all game long and might even be seen on National Television too.
SCREEN CLEANERS: Perfect for a tech event or social media campaign for your company. Now that cell phones are the everyday used item this is a great item to give out and know they will be kept and used over and over again at a low cost to you.
CUSTOM HAT/CAP: Still a tried and true crowd pleaser. Hats have been a staple for many years and are here to stay. Give me enough time and quantity and I can get you this at a low price that will make it worth the wait.
There are so many other options out there for you to get that great ROI that you are looking for. Just let
me know what is needed and I will ask the questions. I’ve got you covered!
