If you are headed to a trade show or convention to get new customers, raise awareness of your company or organization or just reconnect with customers you are more than likely looking to giveaway some sort of swag. After nearly a decade in the promotional products industry, I have learned not all items are created equal. So I have put together a list of the top 5 best giveaways that will give you the most bang for your buck. After all, you are not just buying the swag to give out to make friends: you want a return on your marketing investment.

1. Laminated Tote Bags

First of all, go big! Make sure you purchase at least one item that has a big imprint area for your company’s logo, website, or phone number. These non-woven laminated totes are very similar to the Lululemon shopping bags that you see everywhere. They are great quality tote bags and have a large place for your logo.

2. Custom Hand Sanitizers

Hand sanitizers are another great item to giveaway. Especially at the big shows where you come in contact with hundreds of people. These small and portable sanitizers have a perfect space for your imprint. Potential customers will keep hold of this useful healthcare themed item, reminding them of your brand. They are also an inexpensive option at under $1.

3. Stylus Pens

I normally advise against buying pens for trade shows, simply because everyone is giving them, away but this item is the exception. Our Curvaceous Twist Action Ballpoint Pen With Stylus And Rubber Grip is the perfect pen that people are sure to want and hold on to. The promo writing item has a ballpoint pen on one end and a stylus at the other end. A perfect tech-themed item to use with your iPhone, iPad or any other touch screen device or phone. These pens are also less than $1 with your imprint!

4. Customized Sunglasses

Our neon custom sunglasses are our best selling product for three years running. They are not just popular fraternity party props or wedding favors anymore! Companies of all sizes are using these fun and useful items year around. Another new and very popular option is the retro specs that come with an imprint on the front of the sunglasses. Don’t worry you can still see out of the glasses.

5. Stress Balls of All Sizes, Shapes, and Types!

Last but not least one of the other most creative and poplar swag items for your next big convention is stress relievers! They come in hundreds of shapes, colors, and styles to match just about any branding you have or service you may offer. We have a wide selection of thousands of creative stress balls in everything from fruits to body parts to technology themed items.

Combat Stress with Unique Giveaways, From Stress Balls to Hand Massagers

Lately I have been very stressed and who doesn’t get stressed at some point, especially towards the end of the year with all of the holidays, travel, family, and parties. Since it’s a part of life (these days) why not “de-stress ” them with a fun stress reliever? I think they are one of the absolute best giveaway item, especially at tradeshows! Forget the boring stress ball and get creative. Stand out from the rest of the crowd!

Here are some of the neat ways our customers have used them.

We had a recent customer who is a judge place an order for a stress reliever in the shape of a gavel.

Bus drivers are another customer that we have seen a few orders from to relieve a little stress. They obviously deal with a lot of people and even children on a daily basis. We have them in all shapes to best fit your company.

Another way to let go of some stress is with a little massage. Going to a spa takes time and money so save a few bucks with a fun hand massager that you can use at your desk or on the couch watching TV. Of course you can change it up with fun shapes like a hand, foot, or even a football. Get rid of the knots and keep on working.

Let go of the stress and let us help you with your promotional needs. You could relate it to something with your business or do something fun for the season. We would be happy to help you let go of the stress and replace it with promotional gain!
