BarbieClaws	I just received a promotional item from a vendor. A pen at one end and at the other, a USB port that can hold I believe 126mb of information (a few Power Point Presentations). Thought that was a great idea.

wlctrent	I have giving out promotional items such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, hats, pens, flashlights, keyrings, gift certificates, mini vacation packages and more. It does seem effective in helping meet the sales quota.

Why do you think that is?

bigpoppasan	just in case someone is checking this thread to plan a promotion giveaway (as i did), our advice is to ensure that the item directly relates to the business. So we'r enot big fans of shirts (unless that is what you sell), but something that drives home the intended message.

If you're selling surf boards then a sample of board wax is a good idea because the customer could use it. I wouldn't pass on a free t-shirt if they offered it.

Coda1108	My company has given out coffee mugs, cold drink cups and note pads. The Mugs and notepads have turned out to be good ideas. The coffee mugs have had great staying power, and I still get prospects who tell me they have our mug. The only problem is my company moved, and the phone number was on the mug... Should have just had the website. The note pads have been great, because we're a financial related company, and we deal primarily with the owners or top execs of our business clients. Once they're customers, or during the sales process, I am told often "Can you bring me some more notepads." Of course, our notepads have our logo, name and contact info on it. When I visit customers, I often see pages from our notepads lying on people's desks with important info to be saved on them.... so it keeps our name in their minds.

I order Avon samples every time I submit my order. Then, when I distribute brochures to customers, I include one or two samples of some of my favorite products. Most people really like getting samples.

Ricardo	I've been thinking about promo items and I'd like to find a good choice for promoting a web site. I also work in film and TV and I know that crew gifts such as hats or jackets can be worn for years to come, although in most cases they're just souvenirs of the show rather than promotional items for an ongoing business.
