The 5 Most Popular Trade Show Giveaways
Trade shows are one of the places where product giveaways are as abundant as air, so what products make popular giveaways? I narrowed my list down to 5, and they are what make up the bulk of product giveaways. They all have quite a few things in common, and are serve a purpose at the shows where other products could not.
1. Pens: Kicking off this list is pens. Of all the items given away, pens have one of the longest shelf lives. Logo pens will almost invariably make their way back to people’s cars, desks, homes, etc. With the internet being as powerful as it is, all it takes is someone getting bored, noticing a logo pen, and Googling the brand.
2. Tote Bags: These are tremendously useful for trade shows, because people use them right away (and all through the show!). Tote bags carry your swag, and thus the logo is displayed as long as the person carrying it is at the show.
3. Candy/Mints: The only edible entry on this list, candy seems like a no brainer. Everyone likes to munch on things, and if you provide candy with your logo on it, people just might associate your company with sweetness!
4. Hand Sanitizer: You’re pretty likely to shake someones hand at a trade show. In fact, you’re likely to shake a bunch of people’s hands. You could hope that all of those people had perfectly clean hands, or you could just use some hand sanitizer. The venerable transparent liquid has become the best quick-fix germ killer we have, and in a situation where germs could be abundant, hand sanitizer shines.
5. Sticky Notes/Notepads: Perfect for jotting notes down with the pens you will inevitably receive. Sure, today our phones can do the same thing, but for most people writing down a name and number is still faster than adding a contact.
