Promotional merchandise offers great value for money. For only a few pence per item you could easily promote your business by sending a customer a great present as a thank you for an order. Sending seasonal gifts for Christmas or Easter also improves customer relationships and, as you know, retaining custom is far easier than trying to gain new business. That’s why promotional gifts are worth investing in.

Each promotional mug has a branding area that can be screen-printed or laser engraved, depending on the effect you are looking to achieve.
Promotional Merchandise
Choosing the best promotional merchandise for your business marketing will naturally depend on the industry sector that you are targeting. Branded promotional mugs can be a great choice for many organisations that are office-based, but if you are a business that specialises in outdoor gear, you might want your customers to associate you through a relevant promotional item such as a water bottle or a sports bag. If you exhibit at trade shows, you can find specific products that are ideal for the event and environment. Consider the potential of Code Promotional Merchandise’s personalised pens, promotional folders and promotional carrier bags for your visitors to keep the new materials in as they wander around. Or think about gifts with a real impact...something unusual and unique that will help you stand out from the crowd! Don’t forget...your choice reflects your company!
Value for money corporate gifts
As any marketing manager, brand manager, sales director or MD will tell you, a key part of any outlay on marketing is ensuring the best value for your money. And that is precisely why many companies consider promotional merchandise to be a vital part of their marketing mix. Let’s take the promotional pen as an example. The most obvious first step is to decide on an affordable branded plastic pen. Plastic pens have an immense price range to work within – the Panther Eco pen is less than 18p whereas the Prodir pen is closer to 40p. So you will need to decide your priority for a campaign whether to provide a pen as a cheap giveaway or one that has longevity of use. If you are considering a promotional pen that will last and look more “upmarket” you might want to consider the metal pen. Promotional metal pens, generally start from around 85p each, but can cost between £3-4 with branded names such as Waterman, Parker being even more expensive.
Promotional Desktop Items as Promotional Merchandise
Promotional desk top items are a great investment and work extremely well to build your business’ brand quickly! As marketers strive to get brand messages to the right target audience, the increasing versatility of promotional desk-top items is becoming a valuable weapon in the marketing tool kit. Paper based promotional desk top items have often been the traditional route for promoting a brand e.g. the promotional sticky note pad, but even this has evolved to allow for bespoke shapes, a wide range of colours and a wider range of sizes.
Promotional note blocks are also extremely popular as promotional merchandise due to their large branding area and the added option to include a drill hole that can also carry a promotional pen or a promotional pencil. Promotional pen potholders have moved on from the plastic only variant. There is now a growing range of metal versions, which encompass clocks, photo frames and calendars. Even promotional calculators have developed with larger branding areas and a wider range of colours to ensure a higher rate of retention.
Time specific promotional desktop merchandise includes the promotional calendar, promotional seeds, and promotional plants. Using time specific promotional merchandise has grown in popularity because they are easy to deliver and have superb ability for message delivery.
What kind of promotional merchandise is available?
The beauty of promotional merchandise is its adaptability to suit your needs and there can be no greater example of this than seeing how promotional products can be themed around social events, providing excellent opportunities for delivering your brand messages. For example the England inflatable football clapper stick is available in red and white, has a good branding area, and has had good exposure in the UK market. The promotional large foam finger, the old-fashioned football rattle, or the promotional fanfare horn are all popular items, and can be given out to coincide with major football events.
