Products to Give Away

Not just a pen, a GOOD pen

Pens are giveaway staple because of their low cost and end user utility. But because of their popularity, pens are also easy to forget and throw away. Take this staple to the next level by offering higher-quality pens that your visitors will want to keep and use again and again - keeping your brand top of mind.

Recommended products:

Travel bags

A huge percentage of attendees at any convention will be traveling. Travel bags are giveaway items that they can, and will, immediately appreciate.

Recommended products:

Good, quality t-shirts

T-shirts are another common giveaway - but they’re also often an afterthought. Cheap shirts with only a few available sizes aren’t a huge draw. But a good, quality T-shirt makes it more likely that recipients will wear it more than just once - and promote your brand each time they do so.
