10 Promotional Merchandise Ideas for Your Small Business: Part 3

It’s the final chapter of our brilliant ideas for using promotional merchandise to market your business. We’ve covered everything from golf balls, to viral products to reusable items, and now we’re discussing the final 4 ideas. Let’s get started…

USB Sticks

The great thing about promotional USB sticks is that they will be used over and over again and are very durable. You can decide how large you want the storage capacity to be, so your product will always be unique. If you are marketing to the tech sector, then USB drives are a good direction to head in as backing up data is a number one rule! If you are in the tech world and want to be used as support, include your company name and contact details on the design so customers can get in contact easily. A very useful product.

Plants

You really can get promotional desk plants nowadays. They’re great because they are eco-friendly, innovative, and a great way to bring the outdoors indoors. Take, for example, our promotional desktop garden tube, which is fully recyclable, made from 95% recycled materials, and contains everything you need to grow your plants in the tube such as soil, seeds, and growing instructions.

Clothing

Both promotional t-shirts and hoodies are very popular as they have a large print space, are unisex, and are cost-effective. With a lot of start-up companies not employing a strict dress code, more and more individuals are wearing casual clothing at work as well as outside of it. Let people wear your brand out by investing in promotional clothing. Use a big bold logo and lots of colours to stand out.

Power Bank

In today’s technology-driven world, it can be a scary thought to be without power in your phone or tablet. This is why promotional power banks are a popular choice for people of all ages. Trust us, people will remember if it’s your brand saving them from a ‘battery at 1%’ or ‘low battery’ situation when they need it most. We love our branded power banks because they have a keyring attached so they are very portable and you can flash the logo wherever you go, with the peace of mind that if you run out of battery you can charge your phone on the go. You’re welcome!

We hope you feel inspired by our top 10 promotional merchandise ideas for your small business.
