Sometimes having a promotional or
"giveaway" item at your trade show booth to hand out to potential customers can be a
great way to increase booth traffic and "reward" trade show attendees that
visit your booth. Offering the trade show giveaway item can also be a
good introductory tactic, i.e. "How are you doing today? Would you
like a [my company's name] widget?" More expensive trade show giveaways can be
handed out after you qualify the prospect. If you want something
fancier than a big bowl of Hershey's Kisses and are looking for trade show

Other thoughts: Whatever item you decide to hand out, you want to make sure
it has your company name, logo, and contact information imprinted on it.
It's also good to indicate what it is your company does on it, if your
company name doesn't do this already. It's good if the giveaway item is
useful and has value, so that people will hold on to it instead of tossing
it in their hotel room trash can. If it's something your prospect would use
on a regular basis, then they'll see your company name and message on a
regular basis too.
Think Outside The Box ~ Think about a theme for your tradeshow giveaway
item. Relate it to your company if you can. If not, relate it to the show.
If you're exhibiting in Seattle, for instance, you might hand out little
bags of coffee beans, or custom-printed umbrellas. Make your promotional
product memorable. Research and take advantage of current marketing trends.
Eco earth-friendly green trade show giveaways made from recycled materials
are very popular right now. Just make sure there is something special about
your promotional item so it doesn't appear that your company or business is
just following the crowd and jumping on the latest bandwagon.
Don't be limited ~ Buy extra. You can also use your trade show giveaway
items as promotional giveaways and gifts, and for corporate recognition awards. Of
course the promotional item must be appropriate. Giving an employee a
custom-printed company pen for 30 years of service probably wouldn't be a
great idea.
