Choosing Promotional Products for Your Event

With so many options to choose from, how do you pick which ones are the best for your event? Start by identifying the type of event you’re hosting, and then select the items that best fit the theme. For example:

1. If you're giving out a lot of items, a custom backpack or tote bag would be handy for your attendees.
2. If you’re using name tags, a custom lanyard will work great.
3. Are you offering downloadable material? Provide your guests with a unique USB drive preloaded with content.
4. Will you have cold, canned, or bottled beverages available? A koozie or even a bottle opener could be a neat touch.
5. Hosting an outdoor event during the warmer months? Give your guests water bottles they can reuse, which is more environmentally friendly.
6. Hats are always a great choice to promote athletic events or any activities that will be outdoors.
7. If you provide coffee and tea, consider giving your participants a custom ceramic mug or travel mug they can use and take home to remember your event.
