For example, we can tell you that non-woven totes are still very hot! Tote bags have a limited life so a new bag is always welcome. They also let you show your "green" side by giving away an eco-friendly promotional product. And you can't beat the imprint size; make your logo giant or add your slogan or contact information. They come in many different shapes and colors to fit your business needs. As an added bonus for trade show giveaways, the attendees can put their other items in your tote to carry around the shows.

Another way to look at promotional giveaways is to choose something that will have daily use and exposure. Who doesn't like a hot beverage on these winter mornings? So why not give attendees a unique travel mug; so many shapes, sizes and colors are available. Check out the sleek stainless steel travel mugs or go for the traditional ceramic mug. Most mugs can be imprinted with the same logo on both sides for maximum impact. Here are three of our most popular mugs for giveaways.

And remember, studies show that 39% of people who received a promotional product could recall the name of the company imprinted on the item as long as six months after receiving it. (Study by Schreber & Associates). So call one of our experienced account executives to get the help you need.

A USB flash drive allows employees to transport files and documents from one computer to another. A USB flash drive is very small and lightweight. It also fits easily into a briefcase, purse or laptop bag.  

Note that prices vary from day to day, so call for a quote on these or any other USB flash drives and promotional products.

People love to receive gifts. That's one of the main reasons why promotional products are always a big hit with any audience. The fact that promotional office supplies are practical, work-related items doesn't take away from the fun of getting a freebie. Our Deluxe Sticky Note Organizer is a favorite goodie with its bright colors and absolutely unique design.  

When someone once said that the pen is mightier than the sword, they weren't exactly referring to its marketing power…but few promotional products have a stronger impact than a high-quality logo pen. We love the Oasis Pen for its comfort grip and cool translucent colors.

Another reason that promotional office supplies work so well is the interaction factor. When a client uses an item featuring your logo, it's like they're interacting with your business. For high-end, high-tech interaction, try the Foldout USB Flash Drive 1GB. Or create feelings of goodwill towards your business with a thoughtful, useful gift like the Desk Clock and Caddy.

No matter the type of business, these are four promotional items that work for every office!

1. Pre-show coupons for a free gift are a can't fail way to guarantee traffic for your tradeshow booth. Your prospects will be itching to trade in their coupon for a Slide USB Flash Drive - 1GB.
2. A prospect will consider it worthwhile to give you their contact information in return for a valuable technology gift like the Laser Pointer USB Flash Drive - 1GB.
3. A USB flash drive such as the Pull & Lock USB 1G Flash Drive Key Chain is valuable because of its utility. With utility naturally comes a sense of interaction with your business every time it's used.
4. You can be sure that a logo USB flash drive will actually be used. It won't be thrown out or stuck in a drawer and forgotten.
5. A logo USB flash drive has universal appeal. Computers are a part of everyone's lives, both at home and at work. 
6. A USB flash drive, like all technology gifts, has a very high perceived value - which creates an image of wealth and success. You can also create an image of social responsibility if you choose a green product like the EcoDrive USB Flash Drive - 1G.
