Ideas for Promotional Items and Business Giveaways

Ideas for promotional items and business giveaways come from a wide range of custom products that vary from custom t shirts produced with screen printing to embroidery on hats and personalized polo shirts. It can be a good idea if there is a promotional item that is related to your business or industry to use them. An example of this would be golf shirts or golf balls if you are a coach for hire or jackets if you are in the construction business. There are a couple of main areas of products that make good ideas for promotional items and business giveaways that we will cover in this post.

Custom T Shirts and Personalized Shirts

Custom t shirts are on of the most common promotional items used for marketing and giveaways to bring exposure to a company or organization that go beyond the person who receives the giveaways. Screen printing is a common way to produce custom t shirts and allow a wide range of flexibility with the t shirt design. This is a common technique but you can also get custom t shirts produced using embroidery which works well for pocket logos and employee names, but is designed for small logos and doesn’t have the same ability to do fades and detailed graphics. There are several things to consider when getting custom shirts made and weighing the differences between screen printing vs embroidery

Personalized Pens and Stationary

Personalized ink pens and custom stationary are another example of business giveaways that are useful and serve as a constant reminder about your company or organization to the person who receives them and others that come into contact with them. Just think, how many times a day do you write a reminder or a phone number on a sticky note or notepad that may have been given to you by another company? An example would be notepads and sticky notes use by drug companies to give to doctors offices and passed on to their patients. Custom stationary and personalized ink pens make great promotional items and business giveaways.

Custom Balloons and Inflatables

Custom balloons and inflatables are used by all types of businesses and groups as giveaways and for decoration for special events or parties. You can get simple balloons printed with a company logo, slogan or just business name to hand out to kids and families that attend a grand opening or big sale that has been planned. Some businesses, such as car dealerships, get giant inflatables like a fly guy to display in front of the car lot to grab the attention of passers by. This can be a great attention getter and not only that but people tend to remember seeing something like this beyond that day and may bring it up in conversation with others bringing further exposure to your business.

Embroidered Hats and Baseball Caps

Embroidered hats and custom printed baseball caps are yet another commonly used promotional item for business giveaways. I don’t know about you, but I have received countless custom hats from all types of businesses from banks and car dealerships to oilfield supply companies. Hats and baseball caps are typically produced using embroidery but can also be made using screen printing. Screen printing is commonly used on six panel caps but not as commonly as they used to be. Today, most custom baseball caps are made using embroidery because of the speed and durability.

These are just a few of the literally thousands of different types of promotional items that can be used to market and promote a business or organization.
