Cheap Promotional Products to Advertise Your Business on a Budget

 

Many small businesses lack the Fortune 500 budgets to just throw money at their marketing problems. When it comes to promoting your brand on a tight budget, there are plenty of discount promotional products that can serve your needs. These products will help you get the most for your money and maximize the return on your investment. If you plan carefully, you should be able to pay off your initial expenses many times over!

There are essentially two different ways you can manage your budget. You can try to focus all of your money and efforts on a few qualified leads (quality over quantity), or you can go after a very broad audience with inexpensive products (quantity over quality). Both of these methods will work for smaller budgets. However, this guide will focus on some inexpensive product categories that will help you reach more people from the get-go.

  1. Inexpensive logo pens. There are over 250 different styles of promotional pens under $1, which makes it very easy for you to stock up without needing a new small business loan! Having a large stock of branded pens is a great way to get your company's name out there quickly. You can leave clients with a simple gift after speaking with them, send pens out as a cheap direct mail promotion, or use them as a low-tier trade show giveaway. If your pens are popular enough, you can even re-sell them to generate extra income.


  2. Cheap corporate gifts. If you're looking for something a little more involved than a cheap pen, try browsing our selection of corporate gifts under $10. From imprinted corkscrews and custom poker chips to branded picture frames and promotional key chains, there is an awesome variety of inexpensive corporate gifts to choose from. Try using these fun gifts as employee incentives and rewards, a gift-with-purchase, or to gain the loyalty of new customers.


  3. Promotional drawstring backpacks. This inexpensive giveaway is a great multi-function item that can be used in campaigns with smaller budgets. Imprinted drawstring backpacks are lightweight and compact, which makes them easier to distribute quickly at trade shows, through direct mail, or however else you plan to run your promotion.


  4. Branded mints and gum. These cheap promotions are exceptionally effective because recipients tend to share them with friends, family, and co-workers. As your promotional mints and gum are passed around, your brand will get more and more attention from people you may have never expected to reach. This simple yet effective promotion is a cost-effective option that could be leveraged by smaller businesses.


  5. Promotional office supplies. There are a host of inexpensive promotional office supplies that you can print your company information on. From branded rulers to customized post-its, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding an inexpensive option that will suit your needs. Office products make great promotional products because they are useful and often shared among many people.


These inexpensive product suggestions should help you get started with your next promotional campaign when utilizing a small budget. There are literally thousands of products to choose from that are specifically intended to be budget-friendly promos, so don't worry about spending too much! Branded products are now perfect advertisements for large corporations and small businesses alike.
