Suppliers of promotional items

Can anyone recommend a decent supplier of promotional items please

I need one that does not have a ridiculous minimum order requirement as I will be funding this from my own pocket.

I am looking for balloons, key rings, pens, stickers and the like to hand out at local events to promote our local Freecycle site

Thank you
Happy riding on two or three

  • Actually a good place to look for this sort of thing is the good old Exchange and Mart. There is normally a plethora of firms offering promotional items.

    However, I am afraid that from a purely commercial point of view there are always minimum quantities because of set up time, cleaning (in case of printing) and simple economics.

    We use http://www.silk-group.com/promotions/catalogue.html at work.

    Their cheapest pencils are 10p for 1000. I have no idea if this in in your budget or not.

    Have you tried looking at local printing firms?

    You can buy stickers on ebay.

    Hi, have you tried vistaprint, I think they do magnets, note pads, etc, etc and are quite good for prices, have had some email offers from them but haven't used them myself yet.
