We've all had experience with promotional products. Most likely, the pen sitting next to you contains some sort of company name, logo, or slogan. The coffee mug in your office cabinet, the tote bag at your feet, or the lanyard holding your car keys: all are most likely promotional products. But there are many items you might have never expected that can also be imprinted. Some of them are items you see everyday, while others are more novel. Imprinting unique products adds an element of surprise to any promotional item, and could be used as just the thing to get your company noticed and to help expand your business. Unique imprinted items are great to use as corporate gifts, as well as to pique the interest of potential clients. Here is a countdown of the top ten:
10. Sweet Success: Chocolate
It's no secret that chocolate is a classic promotional gift. When ordering chocolate for a company, many customers stop at putting the company logo on the box. But did you know that you can actually imprint your company name and logo on the chocolate itself? Seeing your company logo on a piece of chocolate will make a strong, bold impression. It will make it look like your company has its own chocolate brand, and your clients and employees will not know whether to keep it or eat it! Overall, imprinting chocolate with your company logo is a great way to show both employees and customers that you are willing to go the extra mile, a mark of any great business.
9. Promotions in a Flash: Memory Sticks and Flash Drives
Whenever you walk into an electronics or office supply store, you can always find many people browsing the section containing memory cards (maybe you're the one browsing!). This is a good indiciation that people both need and want these technologically valuable items. Flash drives are becoming increasingly neccessary in a work environment, so this item may be just the thing to give away as promotional gifts.Memory sticks are great for transporting files and are compatible with almost all computer systems. And if you're worried that that you will not find one that fits your company, keep in mind that imprinted memory sticks and flash drives come in multiple shapes and styles, and are offered in a wide range of memory capacity. When you choose one style and imprint them with your company logo, you'll certainly have clients and employees singing your praises for a long time. How can they not, after you've provided them with something so useful and unusual.
8. Staying Active: Sports Equipment
The surgeon general recommends that people are active every day in order to live a long and healthy life, so make being active fun with promotional imprinted sports equipment. These items are great for company picnics, as well as gifts for employees with children. I bet you did not know that you can imprint a jump rope or a baseball with your company name. Even ping pong balls can be imprinted with a colored logo! And if you really want an unusual imprinted promotional product, try a ping pong ball shooter that both your clients and employees can play with!
7. More Bars, More Business: Cell Phone Chargers
Cell phone use has become a fundamental part of everyone's daily routine. However, cell phone chargers can be too bulky to put in a purse or too impractical for country-hopping travellers. Did you know that you can imprint one with your company logo and give it out as a corporate gift? Many promotional cell phone chargers are battery operated and smaller then the average charger, which means they can be taken to any country and put in any carrying case. They are great items to have stowed in your purse or briefcase when that final bar of energy on your cell phone just won't last. The recipients of these unique imprinted items will definitely have you to thank and will be more likely to use your business in the future. They will know that your company is a life-saver.
6. Hot Promotions: Barbeque and Hot Sauce
Spice up any company picnic or backyard gathering with promotional barbeque and hot sauce bottles! As your employees or potential clients reach for the condiments, they will be amused to see your company logo on the bottle. Even more surprising is the fact that you can do more than just put your company name on the hot sauce. For example, you can make a colorful wrap-around logo, which makes your imprinted bottles look professional and vibrant. Promotional hot sauce also comes in different flavors, such as garlic, habanero, and jalapeno, which are sure to make all your guests' mouths water. After the party is over, they may even want to take these imprinted items home as collectibles!
5. Small Size, Big Fun: Mini Games
Make the office fun again with promotional mini games! Promotional games make great novelty items that you can imprint with your company name and logo. Games keep people's spirits up and their minds relaxed, which makes for both a great and more productive work environment. And imprinted games don't have to stay at the office - mini games make great gifts for both employees and clients and are especially great for travel. For example, an promotional executive foosball set is a great way to help employees relax during their lunch break. Or, place a mini basketball set over a trash can, and make office cleaning a lot more interesting! Another interesting game you can imprint for indoor entertainment is a promotion putting return system, great for any golf aficionado who can't make it to the course.
4."It Looks Certain": Magic Answer Ball
Bring any employee or client back to childhood with this remarkably simple novelty item! Originally designed in 1946, answer balls are a great giveaway for tradeshows, gifts with purchase, and fun desktop items to boost company morale. Because of their low cost and nostalgic feel, these items are likely to stay with employees and clients for a long time. If you imprint your company logo on this product, you certainly won't have to "ask again later" for their business!
3. The Novelty is in the Packaging: Compressed T-Shirts
Another incredible unique product that can be imprinted is a promotional compressed t-shirt. While the novelty of regular t-shirts and other apparel has certainly worn off, packaging a t-shirt in a unique shape that fits your company is certainly one of the most fun ideas out there. For instance, if you are a car dealership, you can promote your business with imprinted, compressed, car-shaped t-shirts. Or, if you want to sell promotional concert t-shirts, you can give out ones compressed into a guitar shape. Not only are the novelty of these items a big selling point, but their compressed size makes them easier to stick in any bag.
2. Go Nuts: Walnuts
A staple of any get-together, nuts are the perfect party snack. But here's a promotion that will take you by surprise - you can actually put your company logo on the shell of a walnut! Imagine the surprise on people's faces when you put out a bowl of imprinted nuts. Any company who thinks of something this creative is sure to get a few phone calls. These items are great for tradeshows, where a hungry passerby is sure to stop by your booth to check out your promotional walnuts. You could also put these out in a bowl in your office; the novelty of these imprinted items is sure to get a few laughs and boost any employee's spirits.
1. Just Add Water...: Bean Plants
By far one of the most inventive customizable product ever seen is the promotional plant. And no, I'm not talking about putting a promotional card next to a plant. I'm not even talking about your company logo on a pot or even a nice crystal vase. For this promotion, a machine laser engraves your logo on the bean of the plant. A clear logo unfolds with every leaf, a feat sure to amaze anyone. And, as the plant grows normally, your logo grows with it! This innovative product is great because people do not have to be plant-lovers to really enjoy it.
