Limited budgets can also impress

Talking about making impressions, if there's one thing we've all learnt, it's that it doesn't have to cost you the earth to do this. There are many products out there that are very impressively stylish and ooze quality yet don't make a massive dent in your budget. A very good example of this is the keyring.

Promotional keyrings are ever popular and will always be so because of their flexibility, quality and cost. There are a wide range of keyrings available as promotional items with prices ranging from 20p and up. Many offer printing and engraving options to suit your needs and style, if you're going for the more corporate look then engraving is always best. Their flexibility is outstanding and is probably what sways most businesses decisions towards using them. There are also keyrings out there that offer a second utility such as a torch, pen, bottle opener and much more that will draw the attention of your potential clients.

Gifting items that are practical means that they will most likely be used which is what you aim for in promotional items. The more your item is used the more your brand name or logo is seen. So our advice is go for keyrings as they are a fantastic all rounder.

Relevance is important

After reading our post about promotional pens and their versatility and marketing success, why would you ever consider investing in a different promotional item? The answer is simple; sometimes a pen just won't do it.

It makes sense and proves just as successful to use a promotional item that is directly related to your business or campaign. For example, if you want to promote your golfing business then it makes sense to invest in promotional golf umbrellas, or if you want to market your new environmental awareness campaign you could use clothing manufactured from recycled cotton, so on and so forth.

By doing this you are proving to your potential clients that you have thought about your gift and that you are making a statement by gifting them. Your aim with corporate gifts is to make an impression, so ensure you choose the right item to do this for you.
