Promotional Products for Every Budget
Are you looking for a way to make your marketing budget stretch even further? Consider checking out our latest blog post about some of the most popular promotional items for every type of budget, ranging from items under $1 to high-end products that are sure to turn some heads.
Are you faced with the task of ordering promotional products for your next marketing campaign but can’t decide? Understandable, because when it comes to bulk ordering promotional items it is not always so easy to keep an overview. An essential aspect that helps with those first stages of research – setting a budget. You probably already thought about this and have a certain budget in mind. If not, you should do so as soon as possible because this can determine what type of product you will be able to order. Price doesn't matter for your event? Even if you don’t have a limited budget, this type of information is also helpful when looking for and choosing the right promotional gift.
We have rounded up some of the most popular products based on your budget. Starting cheap promotional products for under $1 up to some of our more high-end promotional products. Depending on your desired target group, different products at different price points are possible for your marketing campaign.
Various Quantities of Promo Items
Like with many things, the more you purchase, the cheaper the price per unit is and that is the same for company swag. In many cases, companies and organizations would like to order many items for their trade shows or other business conventions to spread their brand and logo. Whether the products will be used all at once or at various events throughout the year, it makes sense to have larger orders with more products, if not only for convenience, but also to save on shipping costs as well. When ordering promotional items online, you should also take into account the minimum order quantity too. For small budgets, or even small events, we have many items that have small quantities and low minimum order amounts. These are the items that can be ordered with 50 items or fewer, in order to help you stay within your tight budget.
1. Cheap Promotional Items Under $1
If you are looking for budget-friendly and inexpensive items for something like your next career fair or if you have some budget left over and would like to spend it, you should consider some of these items under $1. All of these items start off less than a dollar, which means you can order more of them without spending too much money. Despite ordering hundreds of these items at a time, you might not even spend that much money, that is how cost-effective they are! Even with your custom branding, these items are still more price-friendly than more expensive items. These types of products, however, are not generally meant for every type of corporate gift. Products like this are better for adding to goodie bags at your next convention or trade show as they are better suited to be promotional giveaways rather than employee Christmas gifts, for example. Here are some of the most popular items under $1:
- Pens - What is great about pens is that they are so practical for everyday use. People will be reaching for your company long after they receive this item. You can order hundreds of them without breaking the bank.
- Tote Bags - By ordering tote bags, you don’t need to worry about putting items into the bag, because this is the bag! Add your logo to the outside of these tote bags to have it reach even more people without giving over your budget.
- Lanyards - If you are hosting a conference or other type of business event, lanyards are great to hand out to all the participants. Not only are they essential for large events, but they won’t cut too much into your overall budget so you have money free to spend on food and drink, entertainment, or even on the venue.
- Plastic Cups - Stadium cups are perfect for any large gathering. People can use these plastic stadium cups during the event, but also take them home as a promotional goodie. So not only are you saving money on these products, but they can be used both during and after the event for even more brand exposure.
2. High-End Promotional Items
Maybe you don’t have a budget for your next round of campaign marketing or maybe it is just a really high budget. This is where high-end promotional items come in. Due to the nature and quality of these products, they make great corporate gifts to hand out to top clients and partners. These types of products are also great to hand out as employee gifts too, whether in an onboarding box or as a special custom-made swag box. With many of these products though, the price per unit is generally higher so many of them have low minimum order amounts. Perhaps with the low minimum order amount, you can send these products out as executive client gifts to really show your appreciation and support. We also have a lot of brand name products for when you want to order memorable products. Here are some of our high-end products that we recommend for your next round of corporate gifts:
- Laptop Backpacks - These are great for employees or really anyone who travels a lot for business. Add your logo to the front to make these practical items something your employees or clients will always reach for. Laptop backpacks can convey how much your recipient means to you.
- Audio Products - Audio products like headphones and speakers are great for many purposes. You can keep them around your office, hand them out as employee holiday gifts or even send them to your most important customers and clients.
- Tumblers with Straws - Maybe you want to hand out some drinkware, but you would like it to have a bit more quality to it. That is why tumblers with straws are great. They are practical and people will be using them all the time.
- Padfolios - If you work in a business setting, a padfolio would be a nice executive gift to receive. Padfolios are great for showing your company pride when you attend conferences, business meetings or other networking events. Business bags in general are great for both employees and clients.
Spend your budget wisely
Whether you are on a tight budget or if you have the freedom to order whatever you would like, it is important to remember a few things. Some of these products have a minimum order amount, which could bring your costs up depending on the specific amount of promotional products you need for your event or campaign. For this reason, we suggest you consider your target audience and event for the gifts, this can help you set a budget or just stay within it. For example, if you are attending a trade show, it would make sense to have a lot of branded products at a lower price than only a few printed items at a higher cost. If you intend on giving out gifts to only a few people, then you might have the ability to spend more money per product when you only need a small amount.
