Alternative Promotional Products
By: Malcolm Nguyen

Promotional products are used by businesses to promote themselves to their customers and potential customers. Traditionally products to promote businesses were very run of the mill. The most common were pens, notebooks, headed paper and other basic stationary equipment. Whilst these types of promotional products do come in very useful in an office environment they can tend to be forgotten amongst all the other similar promotion items that a person might have. In order to make your business stand out from the crowd it is a good idea to think about alternative promotional products.

If you are a business owner who is thinking about using alternative promotional products to raise awareness of your brand here are a few ideas for the types of products you could use:

• Branded glassware – this is becoming more and more popular and there are lots of different styles of glassware to choose from. If you are thinking of high end clients, you might even want to arrange to have branded wine or shot glasses made.

• Overnight stay gift packs – these are ideal if you are holding a conference which involves your clients and potential clients staying the night at the venue. These can be as product packed as you like. The types of products available for packs like this are: shampoos and soap products, branded toothpaste and toothbrushes and other bathroom accessories all the way up to branded waffle robes and slipper sets. In other words you can be as flamboyant as you like with your promotional products.

• Executive games and toys – here you can have most types of executive games and toys branded with your company name to give to clients. These will range from the cheaper games all the way up to the more expensive.

• Toys aimed at children – these are really useful if you are a business that deals with schools. These can be simple promotional products, but ones that tend to be very well received by children of all ages. In addition to this, these types of products are normally quite cheap to produce.

• Kitchen utensils – for these types of promotional products think along the lines of BBQ utensil sets or even knife sets. These are another type of product that can be very successfully used for promotion that are out of the ordinary and draw attention to your business. Not only that, but if you opt for high quality products they will be used for plenty of time to come, which means even more promotion for your business.

Obviously, there are many more types and styles of promotional products that can be branded for any business. All businesses should do all that they can to choose the right kind of promotional products that will get them noticed. By thinking about some of the more alternative types of products used for promotion it is possible to increase their effectiveness. So forget about the usual pens and notepads and think about glassware, weekend packs and kitchen utensils as part of your promotional giveaways.
