Top picks for trade show giveaways and products

On the trade show floor, standing out and being remembered by potential customers is crucial. While it’s true that networking and making connections to conduct actual business is always the top priority, there’s no question that the right swag or promotional giveaways can help make your company memorable. With that in mind, here are some of our top picks for promotional giveaway items to lure in foot traffic and hopefully leave a lasting mark on anybody that stops by.

1. Help them relieve some stress

Everybody has stress at some point or another and the pandemic may have increased those stress levels. Help your potential customers relieve stress by providing them with a stress ball. Standard stress balls work, but you can really stand out by choosing one that’s unique to your business. There are so many options available including hearts, homes or even hashtags. Pick a fun and memorable shape and they’ll be sure to remember you while they squeeze their stress away.

2. Help them keep their pets busy

What better way to connect with customers that are pet owners than by getting them something to help them bond with their pet? Pet owners are sure to continue using these types of items long after you’ve connected on the trade show floor. You can choose from toys like this branded dog disc, things to make their walks easier like this dog bag dispenser with a built-in flashlight, or even items to help them in their training endeavors like this reusable treat bag with a drawstring. If you can win the hearts of their pet, you’re sure to win theirs too.

3. Help them stay hydrated or nourished

Since trade shows and conferences can be busy and exhausting, food and beverage options are always a hit with crowds. Make an immediate impression by giving them a bottle of water featuring your logo to keep them hydrated right there on the trade show floor, or keep them reaching for your product for days with this branded mint dispenser. Looking for something that will hang with them even longer? Consider giving out this branded coffee mug with coffee gift set.

4. Help them stay organized

If you’re bouncing around from room to room, learning about all sorts of industry trends and products, you’re going to want to take notes so you can keep everything straight. Help them accomplish that feat with this pocket eco notebook complete with pen.  This cool recycled magnetic journalbook includes a convenient spot up front for sticky notes. Or help them get their whole year in order with a monthly planner.

5. Help make their everyday lives more convenient 

In order to stay top of mind, it’s always a good idea to give them something that they’ll be able to use weeks or months into the future. This 11-function multi-tool fits right in their wallet and is sure to come in handy. Everybody can use a bottle opener but what’s better than a bottle opener? A bottle opener that includes a key light. We’re in an age where you probably have to take video calls on your mobile device on occasion, but depending on where you are, the light conditions might be less than ideal. Fix that problem by giving them an adjustable ring light that clips right to their phone. They’ll be checking your logo out any time they need to take a call.
