Yes it's that time of the year again when marketers are turning their thoughts to the years coming events. Whether it's an exhibition, conference or a corporate event, organising one may seen like a nightmare.

There many different ways of approaching such events. A marketer will map out their most effective events then work out how far their budget will stretch.

No use planning to attend all events if the budget won't cover basics such as graphics, invites and promotional gifts, better known as freebies.

Once the shows have been booked and graphics produced its now time to work on the promotional items. But which gifts should you buy?

If you are organising an exhibition, one of the most important products are carrier bags. Your stand visitors will be wandering around the show holding all manner of brochures. Their weary arms would welcome a carrier bag. These bags are also a great opportunity to display your logo all over the hall. Should you want to show your visitors that you are environmentally aware, you could replace the carrier bags with cotton shoppers. Other useful items are pens and pencils. ...
... People attending shows often arrive without a writing implement so it's a great opportunity to give them a pen with your logo or contact details on. Sticky Notes, coasters mouse mats, and mugs are all low cost gifts which can carry your logo or message. The great thing about branding these products is that long after the show has been forgotten your contact details will remain with your prospective clients. So next time they need your products or services it's your company that comes to mind. It's known as a silent sales technique.

Other useful items for exhibitions are USB memory sticks which can be preloaded with data. The data stick is perceived as an expensive gift and will be well received by your visitors. Umbrellas are another idea if your clients have to walk outside from hall to hall. Once again this delivers the opportunity for your logo to be displayed all around the exhibition.

One of the years best sellers have been thermally insulated travel mugs. Oddly enough this stops the never-ending trek to the coffee machine. So not only are your staff on the stand for longer the spill proof top helps prevent embarrassing accidents of spilt coffee.

If you really want to push the boat out you could give your catalogue out in conference bags. These are high quality document style bags which will surely be retained for personal use by your customers.

The important thing about all these products is that they are printed with your message or logo. The cost of these conference gifts vary from supplier to supplier.

Obviously a promotional gifts company who print their products in house are always going to be a more cost effective solution.
