Exhibition Merchandise & Ideas For Your Trade Show Business

An exhibition can be a great way to get your company in front of new people and improve brand recognition. If you've been to an exhibition before then you'll know about the huge amount of promotional items available. To help you navigate through the world of promotional products for exhibitions, we'll be going through a few options for promotional merchandise, some tried and tested, and some a little more unusual.

Tried and Tested

There are a few products that you're almost guaranteed to see at these types of events, but there's a reason for that - they work.

Pens

A decent ballpoint pen is always useful, whether you're a journalist and spend days writing notes, or a computer user who needs to jot down a message quick. Rumour has it that some ballpoints can even be used as a lock pick for older bike locks, not that we recommend this use.

Depending on the specific model of pen you decide on, a pen can have a sizeable area to print your branding on. Our best selling Curvy Ballpens are available in a huge variety of base colours and can be printed in an area of 60mm x 8mm.

Tote Bags

Especially with the UK's new regulations on shopping bags, these tote bags are becoming even more useful in day to day life. Use them to carry shopping, to store things around the house or to carry your lunch in - it's up to you.

One of the best parts of these attractive bags is that they can contain other promotional merchandise. Either offer this as a combo pack of merchandise or rely on users placing competitors items into these bags, leaving your branding on top.

Christmas Hats

'Tis the season to be jolly! At this time of year, the fun Christmas hat is the ideal fun promotional product.

In the hands of the right audience, you could see the whole venue dressed in your branded hats!
