Things You Should Do
These to-dos serve to create a more inclusive, quality-focused, and brand-aligned strategy for selecting the best trade show giveaways. These tips will make sure the items you choose act as an effective brand ambassador during and after the event.
Do Give Attention to Detail
You’ll want to invest in quality control and make sure that each trade show giveaway is in perfect condition, as they represent your brand. Don’t overlook minor flaws or damages, as these can reflect poorly on your company’s image and standards.
Do Align with Brand Values
Choose giveaways that resonate with your brand’s ethos and values, delivering a harmonious message. Don’t opt for items that contradict your brand’s message, like selecting non-eco-friendly products if you promote sustainability.

Do Leverage Technology
Consider tech-friendly giveaways that are in line with modern needs, like branded power banks or stylus pens. Don’t forget to ensure tech products adhere to quality and safety standards to avoid negative repercussions.
Do Be Mindful of Diversity
Think about the diverse needs and preferences of your audience, and choose giveaways that cater to a wide range. Don’t select items that may inadvertently exclude or alienate certain demographic groups attending the trade show.

Things You Should Not Do
These “don’ts” are crafted to help avoid pitfalls in your trade show planning, ensuring that your giveaways not only make a positive impression but also serve as effective, ongoing marketing tools.
Don’t Oversaturate
Flooding attendees with an excess of generic freebies is off-putting. Providing too many common items like pens or notepads may dilute their perceived value and lessen your brand’s impact on the event attendees.
Don’t Ignore Cultural Sensitivity
Disregarding cultural and regional sensitivities when choosing and designing your giveaways can end up being offensive. Inappropriateness, even if unintended, can cast your brand in a negative light and potentially harm relationships with prospective clients or partners.

Example of an Effective Email Follow-Up
Following up with an email is a solid starting point. Your email could start with something like:
“Hi Name,
I hope this message finds you well. It was a pleasure meeting you at the Trade Show Name. I recall our conversation about a specific topic or product and thought it might be beneficial to revisit some of the key points. Provide a brief summary or offer additional insights. Would you be open to a call next week to discuss this further?
Looking forward to connecting, Your Name”
After the email, if there’s no response within a week or so, a phone touch can be the next step. This doesn’t have to be a lengthy call but a quick check-in. For example:
“Hi Name, it’s Your Name from Your Company. We met at the Trade Show Name and discussed specific topic or product. I sent over an email with some further insights, and I just wanted to touch base to see if you had any questions or if there’s anything else I can provide.”
By combining both email and phone touches, you’re showing genuine interest in building a relationship and addressing their needs.
