What types of promotional items should you offer at a trade show?
There are a variety of promotional items available on the market that can be used at trade shows or other commercial events. You can choose practical items such as personalized pens, key rings or reusable tote bags that will display your logo and/or brand name as well as other relevant information. These items are relatively inexpensive and easy to distribute to show guests. Additionally, they are generally appreciated by guests because they may have some use after the show.
If you're looking for a high-end gift, consider items like personalized candy bags or wallets engraved with your logo. These choices are considered premium and can be extremely effective in promoting your business. This is because they are likely to be kept and used for a long time after the event, plus the food always leaves a lasting impression and is much appreciated.
