Whether it is the mug from your bank or the collection of branded pens that litter your desk, we have all received a promotional gift or two. These free gifts are usually given away by business owners looking to gain more customers. Often these little offerings are stamped with the company’s name, logo or even a slogan. If you really want your business to stand out, consider branching out from the commonly given pen. There are many other promotional gifts for you to consider.

Desk items are great promotional gifts. After all, everyone can always use another highlighter. Your business might want to consider purchasing pen sets, pencils, rulers, writing kits or even paper tablets. Anything that you would want to use in your office is a great gift to give to your customers. Some customers especially like day planners or small address books as promotional gifts.

Other small but functional office supplies include calculators, clipboards, letter openers, staplers and removers as well as pencil sharpeners. These items are small and easy to give out but still incredibly useful to those that receive them. Mouse pads are another fun, yet functional offering. Since everyone occasionally feels stress while working, you could also pass out colorful stress relief balls with your promotional message on them. These gifts can work to let people associate your company with stress relief!

Clothing and accessories are another popular choice for promotional items. After all, who doesn’t love a free shirt? Your business may want to have T-shirts, polo shirts, sweat shirts or jackets printed up with their logo. You could also choose hats like ski caps, baseball hats or golf caps. In fact, even earmuffs, scarves or visors are great options. If you are looking for something a little smaller, consider small jewelry or accessory pieces like bracelets or lapel pins. Jackets, sweatpants and turtlenecks are great options during the winter months. Remember to choose items that your customers will be able to wear since this leads to increased exposure for your company.

Electronic promotional giveaways are also extremely popular. As technology has become more compact and cost-effective, these types of gifts have soared in popularity. While these may cost a bit more to produce, they are also more likely to be used. This means more automatic branding for your company logo. Some options for electronic giveaways include pocket GPS devices, USB drives, and MP3 players.

The bottom line is to try to choose an item that will be used. As you can see, there are countless options for every budget. You could always choose the traditional pen for your promotional items or you could branch out a little and purchase something a little more unique. The ideas in this article should get you off to a great start.

Electronic Promotional Gifts are at the top of everyone’s shopping list this Christmas but what are the best sellers. This article gives you the inside track on what’s hot and what’s not when it comes to these great Promotional Items.

1 Promotional MP3 & MP4 Players

Available in a number of amazing colours and different shapes the MP3 Player tops the list as one of the most popular Promotional Gifts for 2009. With prices starting from as low as £10 it is not surprising that these items sell so well. Once upon a time there was just the basic MP3 but now there is a wide range of styles that include many other multi functions such as voice recorders, belt clips, touch buttons, FM radios etc. The number of shapes has increased also, whilst they used to be cylindrical the more popular shape is the flat version which does not look unlike the Ipod. These flat versions come with great looking full colour screens

2 Promotional Radios

The advent of jogging has helped to increase the number of models and styles of promotional radios. No longer do these excellent business gifts have to remain on the table. There are hundreds if not thousands of types of portable radios that go from very small scan radios that sell for just a couple of pounds right up to very expensive hi fi style radios that cost hundreds of pounds. In addition these Promotional Gifts have been incorporated with other electronic devices such as pedometers. They work extremely well together especially with runners or joggers.

3 Digital Photo Frames

By far the fastest mover in the most popular promotional gift list is the digital photo frame. These excellent giveaways are now available in not just shelf or table top versions but also as keyrings. The images are perfect even in such a small frame. New and exciting developments have meant that images no longer need to be changed manually but they can be set to alternate automatically and even synchronise with an in built music chip. There are a number of memory options available with the largest versions enabling the user to load up as many pictures as can be seen in a 24 hour period. Screens as large as 27×21x8cm make these great promotional giveaways a gift that is sure to be treasured

4 Weatherstations

A relatively newcomer to the Promotional Gifts market the promotional weatherstation has grown in popularity over the past couple of years. Earlier models were quite simple but today’s versions are much more sophisticated. A reasonable quality weatherstation will consist of a weather forecaster, humidity indicator a temperature gauge and a humidity trend indicator. There are models available in plastic, metal and wood so you should find one to fit most budgets and style preferences. This year has seen an increase in a colourful approach with even a glowing station which can be read in the dark

5 Promotional Clocks, Watches & Timepieces

It could be said that strictly speaking watches are not electronic devices however they are so sophisticated these days with so many gadgets and widgets incorporated into them that this opinion could be challenged. Certainly there are a number of electronic promotional clocks which span a range that includes wall mounted, plastic, metal and even glass versions. There are lots of new models appearing but the most recent trend has been for the retro style which includes some beautiful desk clocks made form metal and highly polished wood.
