Looking for a promotional giveaway item that will linger in the minds of your customers long after you've handed it over? Look no further than Total Merchandise's wide assortment of novelty printed products, which are perfect for adding some fun into your next marketing campaign.

Why choose novelty promotional merchandise items?

"Novelty: the quality of being new, original, or unusual; something that has not been experienced before and so is interesting; a small and inexpensive toy or ornament. (Cambridge Dictionary)"

Whether you take 'novelty' as meaning unusual or toy-like, there are all sorts of reasons why a quirky giveaway item can make an excellent addition to your marketing efforts.

• A novelty promotional item will stick out in the minds of your customers; with their unique nature, unusual promotional gifts can help make your brand far more memorable to your customers.
• It can keep your branding in the hands of your customers for a longer period of time. Not as 'chuckable' as quick-fix items, a novelty or unusual promotional product will tend to provide prolonged entertainment.
• A novelty promotional item can add a twist of 'fun' to your marketing efforts, adding a more relatable element to even the most serious of campaigns.
• Novelty branded items appeal to adults and children alike. Arguably the Haribo of promotional merchandise, novelty giveaways are useful for audiences both young and old.
