Promotional giveaway items can help raise your brand visibility and spread the word about your products or services. The items you choose speak volumes about your business, so choose them wisely. These 10 giveaway ideas are surefire ways to spread a message in style.

Tote Bags

Tote bags send an environmentally conscious message. Plus, they're practical, which makes them excellent giveaway items. People often use and reuse their canvas totes, so you can get your logo floating around town as recipients do their shopping and run errands.

Water Bottles

Like tote bags, reusable water bottles tell the world that you care about the planet. Since everyone needs to stay hydrated, they're also items that people are likely to use. Print your company name and logo on a glass, stainless steel or hard plastic water bottle and get instant visibility at gyms, hiking trails, parks and beaches.

USB Thumb Drive

If you want to gift multimedia content as a giveaway item, CDs are old news. Many computers don't have CD-ROM drives anymore. Instead, give away a USB drive with your company logo printed on it and some media files saved on the drive.

Umbrellas

Getting stuck in the rain is no fun. Keep your customers dry and get your logo out there at the same time by giving away promotional umbrellas. These items tend to be a bit more expensive, but since they're so practical, they're more likely to be used.

2-in-1 Stylus-and-Pen Combos

Impress the public with two-in-one stylus-and-pen combos. These have an ink pen on one end and a stylus writing tip on the other, so recipients can jot down notes on paper and scribble ideas onto their tablets with a single handy device.

Sunglasses

If you're like most people, you've probably forgotten a pair of sunglasses at least once. If you're doing a promotional giveaway in the summer, you can help forgetful people shield their eyes from the sun and spread the word about your business at the same time.

Toys

Yo-yos, puzzles, brain teasers, playing cards and other small toys make fun promotional items. They're great for people who get fidgety at their desks, and they tend to get passed around from person to person.

Chocolate

Everyone loves chocolate, so order some chocolates with labels emblazoned with your name and logo. They may not last long, but they're affordable and are sure to be appreciated.

Power Banks

If you want to go all out and splurge on a giveaway item, order some customized power banks. No one likes to be stranded with no battery, so anyone who gets one is sure to use it over and over again. Plus, these items are so cool that giving them away is bound to generate some goodwill.

Travel Stuff

If you're doing a giveaway at a conference, there's a good chance at least some of the attendees had to travel to get there. Sleep masks, travel slippers and small bags are usually hits with people who have to spend time on planes and trains, so help them out and boost your brand with one of these items.
