While marketing is a powerful tool that can and will cost money, it needs to be within your company&#8217;s reasonable budget<\/li>\n<li>Streamlined- same logo, same color scheme: keep it uniform<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Top Useful Items Customers Want!<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/416\/Chargers.html\">Charging Sets<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Why we recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Highly intriguing. In our smartphone, tablet, and laptop-infused world, who doesn&#8217;t need another charger?<\/li>\n<li>Chances are, someone forgot their appropriate device, and they will feel INCREDIBLY grateful for your company providing them with one.<\/li>\n<li>These are long-lasting products, and your name is associated for however long your customer keeps this item!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/426\/Cell-Phone-Accessories.html\">Cell Phone Accessories<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Why we recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everyone has a cell phone, but most people don&#8217;t have the fun accessories that come with it. Remember, the best promotional giveaways offer the customer something captivating AND useful to his or her daily life.<\/li>\n<li>In today&#8217;s selfie culture,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-item\/IP-255-2850-39423495\/Fisheye-Lens-Set.html?cid=426\">fish-eyed lenses<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20012\/Selfie-Sticks.html\">selfie sticks <\/a>are coveted and widely-used items. Your item (and logo) tags along with the individual on his or her travels, adventures, and with friends.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/153\/Travel-Mugs.html\">Travel Mugs<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Why we recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/money\/business\/2013\/04\/09\/coffee-mania\/2069335\/\">83% of people drink coffee.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Many trade shows supply coffee with refreshments throughout the day. Wouldn&#8217;t YOU prefer carrying around your java in an insulated mug instead of a flimsy styrofoam cup? Yeah, your customers prefer this as well!<\/li>\n<li>Other great options like travel mugs include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/154\/Tumblers.html\">Custom Tumblers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/141\/Vacuum-Bottles.html\">Vacuum Bottles<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/517\/Flasks.html\">Flasks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/275\/Highlighters.html\">Highlighters<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Why we recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Every other company is already handing out pens<\/li>\n<li>With price averaging, they are very cost-effective (comparable to pens)<\/li>\n<li>Everyone needs a highlighter. In a world swimming in pens, aren&#8217;t we always searching for that one, lone highlighter? Your customers will be grateful for this!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Promotional Giveaways: Best Bang for Your Buck!<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/594\/HAND-SANITIZERS.html\">Hand Sanitizer<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Why we\u00a0recommend:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Satisfies a simple need: people walking around trade shows are touching a bunch of stuff. We all want clean hands.<\/li>\n<li>Incredibly cost-effective. For less than a dollar apiece, these tiny bottles can last customers for several weeks (hence, your name stays in their purse or desk drawer for that much time).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-item\/IP-255-9200-40350805\/Cylinder-Mint-Case.html?cid=720\">Breath Refresheners<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Why we\u00a0recommend<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Everyone likes a breath mint, especially at a trade show with culinary vendors or onsite food.<\/li>\n<li>Sharing power. Remember in middle school when someone opened a pack of gum and everyone wanted a piece? Same applies to mints. More people passing around your promotional giveaway = more attention to your brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always, promotional pen styles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/300\/Ballpoint-Pens.html\">Ballpoint Pens<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/301\/Click-Pens.html\">Click Pens<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/307\/Stick-Pens.html\">Stick Pens<\/a> always make great giveaways and are the perfect budget friendly option. Promotional giveaways within trade shows are essential for branding your company. They allow the customer to &#8220;take&#8221; your company home with you and essentially advertise it through their daily living.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipromo.com\/promo-products\/20026\/Contact-Us.html\">Contact us<\/a>\u00a0for questions or concerns!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People love free stuff.
