Similarly, promotional travel mugs will ensure that your logo is seen as users tote the mugs along on their commutes.

Keeping a notebook handy is always useful, even for the most tech savvy individuals. Promotional notebooks can be taken into meetings, or can be used to jot down things like to-do lists. Custom imprinted notebooks will be kept on the desk of the users and logos will be seen.

7. Promotional Stress Balls
Squeezing a stress ball is an effective form of tension release, something that everyone can benefit from now and again.

8. Promotional Candy Jars
The quickest way to people's hearts is through their stomachs. Everyone knows that the most popular desk in the office is the one with the free candy. Promotional candy jars are easy affordable way of branding your logo. When workers and visitors stop by for a quick treat, they will see your message.

9. Promotional Mouse Pads
While there are some companies that provide laptops to their employees, most offices today are equipped with desktop computers. Promotional mouse pads make excellent trade show giveaways because they are items that people need. Recently, ergonomic mouse pads that feature wrist rests have become highly popular with users who spend hours at their desks.

10. Custom USB Flash Drives
USB flash drives have become a staple in the business world because of their usability. These handy items allow information to be easily transferred from one work station to another. Flash drives, sometimes called memory sticks, are perfect for traveling executives who need to tote along power point presentations to meetings. They also work well for employees who want to take work home with them.

Did you know that using promotional products with your mailings can dramatically increase the response of your campaigns?
The Dallas Marketing Group and Promotional Products association conducted a study in 1996 by integrating the use of direct mail and promotional products into an existing print advertising campaign. They randomly assigned the direct mail recipients to one of the four groups that received the following: trade ad only, trade ad plus sales letter, trade ad plus stress ball package, or trade ad plus a calculator incentive. The findings were the following:
§ The trade ad alone - 0.7% response.
§ Trade Ad plus direct mail letter – 2.3% response.
§ Trade ad plus a dimensionally packaged promotional product (stress ball) was sent – 4.2 % response
§ Trade ad plus the eye-catching direct mail package with calculator – 9.55%
The above mentioned is an example of how you can change the response rate of your ad mailing by adding an incentive program to it.

Promotional items can serve a couple of purposes: they can promote sales or help in creating brand awareness. You must have a clear idea of your objectives to plan accordingly. Select the promotional item wisely, keeping in mind your targeted customer. There are a vast amount of options from which you can choose, simply use your imagination. In fact, the more unique your idea, the better it is for your campaign. An unusual promotional item will be able to stand out from the rest, and will gain you better recognition and business.

Choosing a great promotion doesn't mean you should compromise on the usefulness of the item. A promotional product should be an item of which the client can make use. Remember: promotional products represent your business; any substandard item will create a poor impression of your company. A promotional product with your company logo on it is enough to keep reminding your customers of your business. If the product is useful, your customers will recognize and remember your company on a daily basis.
