Promotional products

budgetboy_2

Hi all,

I'm looking for a quick and simple way to promote my business and found these: http://www.blankkeyrings.co.uk/ and http://www.loopkeyrings.co.uk/

Anyone got any thoughts on these or any other promotional product sellers? What seems to work for you?

Thanks a lot!

Hi - keyrings aren't my thing so cannot say whether or not they are a good idea, keyrings tend to get shoved in drawers and not necessarily used especially if the person you are giving it to already has a keyring.

I have recently ventured down the promotions route and am having some heart shaped stressballs done (heart shape suits my business). I am using Chilli Promotions https://www.chillipromotions.co.uk - the customer service is great and nothing is too much trouble.

Depending on your business - would a pen be better - everyone uses pens.

Yeah I had thought about pens, might go down that road but everyone always seems to have heaps of promo pens anyway.

Maybe the mousemats? http://www.blankkeyrings.co.uk/10-mouse-mats/

In my previous employment we use to get lots of free stuff sent to us in the hope it would encourage us to spend money.

The usual 'tat' was; pens, calendars, mugs, keyrings, mouse mats, desk tidy's, watches, t-shirts, stress toys etc

To be honest, most of these were simply given away or otherwise we had to a) declare it to higher bosses, and b) we already had the items in abundance!

Our 'best' freebies were actually a box of chocolates (branded with Company's details on box) which was very nice. In addition, at Xmas, the company sent bottles of branded white wine for our Xmas dinner. Again, very much appreciated! and I still remember the Company's name!

Our strangest freebie was, what we thought was a stress reliever that flashed coloured led's when you threw it at a wall. When I spoke to the company, and thanked them for their high tech stress reliever, I was a might embarrassed to be told it was actually a mobile phone holder...... Oooops!

Haha,

So consumables seem to work?

Thinking about it there is a stationery company called TLC that send you a box of free biscuits every time you place an order.

Hi Budgetboy

My business offers all types of promotional items, and what's right for your business will be totally different to what's right for another as it's all about your customers and finding the right thing for them, that's also relevant to your business and gives the right message.

I'd be more than happy to chat through some ideas with you if you would like? We can talk about what sort of items may appeal to your customer and then try to find something that's suitable and fits within your budget.

Hope to speak to you soon.

Best wishes,

Jody

PS - Thanks for the recommendation Horace - it was very kind of you to mention us! :rotfl:
