In an ideal world, every conference would be able to offer the top of the line giveaways and promo items. In reality, we all are more than aware of the limitations set forth by a large event and a tight budget. Get the most for your dollar by shopping around and scoping out the wide variety of promotional items out there.

 What’s in a name?

Many times a cup of equal or greater quality can be had for a much less expensive price tag if you just forgo getting a “Name Brand”. Many of our promotional drinkware suppliers offer top of the line, quality styles that are just missing the reputation of a known designer or brand name attached. The same goes for pens and bags; you can sometimes get a better quality item on a budget, if you simply take into account the high markup of cost that goes into adding that famous label to the style.

Where is your brand going to end up?

Take into consideration your end user, is this an item that is going to be used on the day of the event and then discarded or is going to be utilized again and again? If you foresee recurring uses, then it is better to invest in a higher quality, more durable promotional item. However, if judging by your demographic, you know this is going to be a one-time use item it is better to take a more economical approach to the items you select and save yourself the strain on your budget!

A deal is a deal!

Finally, the best place to get the most bang for your buck is always the SALE section! Almost always, the items in this section are there simply because they are the previous season’s styles that are being cleared out to make room for the new styles. What does this mean for you? Savings of course! You can get significant discounts off of high quality promotional purchases simply by selecting an item that is a great style, but had to be marked down to bottom dollar prices simply due to a lack of room!

As always, if you ever need help finding the perfect promotional item for your brand, reach out to your personal Thirsty Promo representative and we would be more than happy to assist you!
