Inexpensive Giveaways

Get attention at your next tradeshow with inexpensive giveaways.

Inexpensive giveaways are the ideal promotional products with which to get the most value for your dollar at tradeshows this season. Some of our most popular inexpensive giveaways include keychains, pens, reusable totes, can koozies, cinch packs and stress balls. But just because you’re opting for inexpensive giveaways at your tradeshow booth doesn’t mean you have to blend into the crowd. In fact, if you’re only planning to do what everyone else is doing, you may as well not go the tradeshow. Because the whole point of setting up a booth is to stand out and attract attention, to distinguish your company or organization from all the rest. And inexpensive giveaways, when chosen properly, can do exactly that. Keep reading to find out how to make the most of your inexpensive giveaways.

Spotlight on Inexpensive Giveaways

When shopping for inexpensive giveaways, try to think from the perspective of a tradeshow attendee. If you were walking around a showroom all day, what would you want to receive as a tradeshow giveaway? One of our most popular inexpensive giveaways for tradeshow booths are cinch packs like the String-A-Sling Backpack. The average polyester cinch pack runs around two dollars and has a large imprint area for advertising your logo. Since tradeshow attendees will be receiving inexpensive giveaways from almost every booth, you’ll want to make sure that whatever you offer is useful to them so they don’t throw it out or forget about it. A cinch pack will give them something they can carry all their other giveaways in. People on the tradeshow floor who may have missed your booth will see others walking around with the cinch pack, your logo emblazoned on the back, and come, hands full of stuff, looking for your booth. There are seven words every booth wants to hear from a tradeshow attendee: “Where can I get one of those?”

A good inexpensive giveaway doesn’t have to be one that they’ll keep for years. Consider custom labeled bottled water, and again, put yourself in the minds of your tradeshow attendees. Most people who have been walking a tradeshow floor for hours will be practically falling over one another for some water. Give out bottled water at your tradeshow booth, branded with your custom label. Again, other attendees will see people walking around with your logo on a bottle of water and come looking for your booth. Once they do — once your promotional products have grabbed their attention — it’s in the hands of your booth staffers to figure out how to retain the visitors’ attention. After extending a friendly handshake, offering a giveaway, and asking for the visitors’ contact information, staffers can hold contests to keep attention focused on their company or organization’s tradeshow booth. Passersby can enter the contest to win premium giveaways like wine sets and picnic baskets. Then staffers will announce over a megaphone that they are drawing the winning raffle ticket. Entrants then return to the table to find out if they’ve won. This is just one idea to keep potential clients interested in your company beyond the inexpensive giveaways.
