Promotional Products are perfect for trade shows and events
Trade shows and giveaways go together like peanut butter and jelly. Promotional products, as the industry likes to call them, are irresistible when done well. Recently, customers have been asking for eco-friendly or sustainable products. And manufacturers have responded with 100’s of “green” giveaway ideas. We can’t share them all, but we’ll highlight some of the most popular and innovative ones.
If you’ve never ordered promotional products before, we encourage you to choose ones that align with your company’s values and marketing objectives. Yes, we all enjoy “fun stuff.” However, sustainable giveaways should have more than a 60-second lifespan. They should remind the recipient of your company’s products and services while boosting your trade show ROI and ROO (return on objectives).
Finally, the sustainable giveaways shown on many online websites are just the tip of the iceberg. To see the full assortment, contact a promotional product specialist. They are experts at finding the right product at the right price and can guide you on effective branding. While your competitor’s giveaways may be tossed soon after the show, your branded cup or pen or coaster or calendar will have a featured location on their desk.
Why Eco Friendly Giveaway Ideas?
According to Rama Beerfas, Chief Solutions Specialist of Lev Promotions, “Eco-responsible branded products are becoming more important in the marketing world. People like getting things that are relevant to their lives and appreciate them even more when they’re good for the environment – whether by being produced from sustainable materials or recycled products; and/or they can be planted, recycled or composted themselves.”
