Attending or taking part in events or exhibitions is part and parcel of business life. It is also an opportunity to remind your clients or potential customers who you are! Whether the event is a huge conference for the pharmaceutical industry, or local chamber of commerce event, raising your profile is important.

There are plenty of options when it comes to the events you host. A popular choice are t-shirts, polo shirts, and other clothing items. Screen printed or embroidered with your logo makes it easy for you to be recognised especially if it’s colourful and bold.  Brand recognition is the main reason to have promotional items. Use practical items like pens, carrier bags, keyrings, coasters, post-it notes etc. It helps if the item reflects what you do in some way, a contract hire company may use tax disk holders or keyrings for example. Conference organisers may use pencils, pens and note pads.With charities it maybe more fun items like balloons, logo bugs, stress balls or silicon wrist bands.

A useful promotional gift will work like a mobile business card! We intentionally leave branded pens and small post-it notes when we attend events or visit clients.
