Most promotional items are fairly inexpensive items, and there are plenty of different options available. The old stand-by, the promotional pen, never goes out of style, and with pens available for less than ₤0.10 per item, they’re one of the most low-cost promotional items you’ll ever find. If it’s office supplies you need, pens are definitely a good choice, and to go along with them, a wide range of other supplies are available, including note pads, sticky notes, rulers, erasers, and jumbo paper clips, all available for less than ₤0.20 per item.
Coasters and mouse mats can be extremely cost-effective advertising media—with large print areas and the ability to customize a full color design, both of these items are very effective ways to advertise. Mouse mats in particular are very efficient business gifts. As more and more businesses become heavily reliant on computers for day-to-day tasks, the potential for your advertising message can only increase—and with several very inexpensive varieties available they’re affordable too.
Button badges can be a great way of getting your message across. Most people love to wear items that tell something about their tastes—the things they like, the brands they wear, their favorite music. With button badges available from ₤0.11 per item, they’re a very affordable alternative to the promotional pen. A similar option that can be just as effective is promotional stickers—available from ₤0.12 per item these are available in a range of shapes and size. For ₤0.16 per item, promotional fridge magnets can serve a similar purpose, and these are also hugely customizable in terms of shape, size and color.
If you’d like your items to have good potential of getting out of the office environment, a key ring is an excellent choice. With mini and jumbo Ad Loop key rings available at great prices, as well as several other varieties available for less than ₤0.50, key rings can be a very affordable method of creating promotional items that will get used in a variety of different places.
Choosing inexpensive promotional items doesn’t necessarily mean you must confine yourself to tried-and-true items such as pens and badges, of course. For less than ₤0.50 each, you can purchase items such as mobile phone holders, noisemakers, Frisbees and boomerangs, as well as higher-quality pens and other office items. Giving out these types of inexpensive promotional items provides a special advantage, in that you can give these items often, in the most casual of situations, to achieve excellent exposure for your promotional message.
