1) Branded Picture Frame
A branded picture frame is unlikely to make its way to someone's living room, but it has a strong likelihood of finding a place at someone's desk, whether filled with a memento of an award ceremony or a giggling baby. Subtle branding works best with picture frames, with a company name, email and/or phone number and bossed in a complementary colour on one of the sides. If you choose this option, remember that appearance is everything. Spend a bit of money on quality and don't overdo it on the branding, as this may come across as a bit tacky.
2) Branded Headphones
For corporate guests you may wish to spend a little bit more on providing a valuable gift and really making an impression. Headphones are a good choice, as they are always cheaper than they look when purchased in bulk, and will be widely used. For an existing customer, it ensures your brand is kept at the forefront of their mind whenever they chill out on their headphones.
3) Phone Charger
Phone chargers are always appreciated as gifts, especially by business people who are on the move frequently. Charging ports can be purchased that connect to a 12 V car socket and can be customised with a logo or simple message. These are quite pricey but make great durable gifts. We have also seen solar phone chargers given away as corporate gifts, which are expensive but have more room for contact information and messaging. Simpler USB chargers and lightning cables are a cheaper alternative; practical gadgets that ensure wide and long lasting brand exposure.
4) Custom Playing Cards And Games
Branded playing cards make great giveaways at corporate events. Our customers have found they are a gift that keeps giving, as a deck of playing cards could have a longevity far exceeding other promotional gifts. Customers will use playing cards and show them to others, giving you valuable exposure for your brand. You won't have to spend a fortune on playing cards. In fact these are far and away the cheapest of the four options we have explored, but their impact potentially outweighs all the others.
Moving one step beyond playing cards, some customers commission complete bespoke games. These can be used as a networking or promotional tools during a corporate event, with the game being given as a gift on the guest's departure. Please feel free to explore our Game Maker App to get your imagination going.
