You need to promote your business, but your promotional budget is tight. Choosing to spend some of that tight budget on promotional products
is a good idea. For a small amount of money, you can get great exposure
if you choose the right products and distribute them effectively.
Here are some of the less expensive, yet highly effective, promotional products that you can choose for your business.
Writing instruments – Some of the most popular promotional products
are pens and pencils. Pencils are usually the least expensive, and
inexpensive mechanical pencils are a good choice over pencils that need
to be sharpened. Pens can cost a bit more than pencils, but they are
still a very economical choice and the recipients usually appreciate
them. Regarding pens again the lowest cost form of pens are generally
plastic, but even though they are low cost they are available in a
massive range of colour options and finishes so even if you are on a
tight budget it doesn’t necessarily mean that the product will look
cheap and tacky.
Refrigerator magnets
– These little promotional products are powerful marketing and
advertising tools. They can sit on a refrigerator door for years,
getting the attention of potential customers each time they need a
glass of milk or quick snack. They are very inexpensive, effective
promotional products which are sure to meet the tightest of budgetary
requirements.
Sticky note pads
– These small square note pads are inexpensive items that are always
appreciated by their recipients. They not only advertise your business
to the person who receives the notepad, but they also advertise your
business to the people who receive the notes that are written on them.
Chip Clips
– These clips that hold a bag of chips or other snack item closed
tightly are always snatched up by potential customers when offered.
Your company’s pertinent information can be imprinted right on the clip
and viewed every time potential customers have a snack attack.
Rulers – Rulers are very useful items and they can be turned into a business card by imprinting your company’s information on them.
Luggage tags
– Imprint your company’s information and leave the other side blank for
customer’s to write their information on before they attach it to their
luggage. Make the tags brightly colored, and you will have created a
very practical promotional product that will get used.
Computer screen cleaners – These little items are like dry squeegees for a computer screen that scrapes away the dust.
Computer calendars – These ruler-like calendars attach directly to the top of the monitor’s casing and are a long lasting advertising item.
Each
of the items mentioned above can be bought for under $1 a piece and are
very practical items. Promotional products don’t need to be expensive
and flashy. They just need to advertise your business clearly, be very
useful, and be distributed effectively.
