Trade shows are one of a kind event where being “basic” is not a norm. The reason would be because it’s not for the public and is usually only attended by chosen representatives and members of the press.
One thing that brands want when they attend trade shows is to make an impact.
But how do you make an impact with a ton of other brands with you?
A simple but awesome way is through the products you give away.
Giving away products costs a lot of money that’s why you want to make sure you receive something out.
Enough with the old giveaway items that get stored in a box or lost on the way home of your attendees. That usually happens because the items are not that important and are easy to forget about.
Creative promotional products beats the usual handouts.
For that, we made a list of the best creative promotional product ideas for you to give away at a trade show:
Creative promotional products ideas
3-in-1 Stylus Pen
Have you ever seen a stylus pen that is also a phone stand? The Transformer 3-in-1 Stylus Pen creatively transforms into a pen, stylus, and a stand for your phone! This lightweight product with a slender design will surely refresh especially to people who get lots of the usual pens.
Custom printed shoelaces
People’s fashion sense doesn’t have to be loud and proud all the time. There are subtle accessories that add more character to one’s fashion style than anything else you can imagine.
I’m referring to custom printed shoelaces. If you’re considering even these away at a tradeshow, come up with a great design everybody will be happy to use. You don’t have to slap your brand on the shoelaces because it’s not cool. You can use beautiful patterns as your design. You can just use a printed tag along with the shoelaces so people can still associate your brand with the giveaway.
Lip balm balls
The weather can be harsh to your skin especially your lips. Extreme weather can burn your lips which makes you uncomfortable. Therefore, giving away lip balm balls to help prepare people for winter or even summer is a good idea. This giveaway is perfect if you’re running a fashion or wellness business and want to share your message of wellbeing to people who visit your booth.
Collapsible water bottle
A collapsible water bottle is a light and a perfect partner for travelers. This is not only unique but also useful for people who want to save space on their bag.
T-shirt in a can
T-shirt in a can is a two-in-one giveaway. Aside from a t-shirt that your attendees can wear, they can also reuse the can to store small things. Plus, people like opening things with little surprises so you can also add some handwritten notes to make it more personal.
Do you think you can use the creative promotional products ideas above?
When you’re at a trade show, you don’t really have to worry about people thinking you are not being genuine because all you do is give out promotional items. It’s meant for showcasing and showing products which is why you need to stand out from the rest.
If these items aren’t enough, look at lots of promotional product ideas for you to see and find online. Don’t limit yourself with the ones above – keep searching and find the ones that best reflect your brand.
