Tradeshow Giveaway Ideas

Posted by svogel on 125 Points
Any recommendations for some relatively inexpensive tradeshow promotional items that an investment banking firm could giveaway? Pens are over done in our industry. I would like to keep it relevant and intriguing.

    How about a piggy bank (or one shaped differently)? It would be a fun giveaway and provide a message to save to invest.

    That's a super suggestion and one that a recipient can give to their child, too. Other inexpensive ideas might revolve around items that invoke safety, security and comfort (all relative to good investing). Consider logoed stress relievers, hand sanitizers, key lanyards, or even edible messages (wrapped cookies, mints, candies, etc) or even a whistle key ring.

    Good luck!

    A notebook with the name of your banking firm I think would be a great idea. Here are other suggestions:
    • umbrella,
    • coffee mugs
    • drinking glasses

    What about $1. With a tag line- Getting you started.

    You would probably spend $1 per trinket anyway.

    Another $99 if they invest within a month with our company.


    Plain white T-Shirts that say- "What's your money doing today?"
    Put company logo or name above it.

    A pen or pencil with the tag line - we'll put pen to paper and plan your dream retirement.

    I like the ideas above (especially the $1) and would also add luggage tags as a possibility since you could tie it in with most people wanting to be able to travel in their retirement (plus you could have an enter to win a trip/plane ticket promotion). The other thing I would add as a trade show tip is to put a vase of fresh, colorful flowers on your table. You won't believe how many people will be attracted to your table by the flowers and a bowl of individually wrapped candy.

    Bekogear.com offers nose covers with company logos...that are more useful than a pen when outside fishing, hiking, biking, water skiing...or watching a stadium event like a baseball or football game because they promote your company to the world while they also protect people from skin cancer and/or frostbite...
