Businesses are always looking for ways to stand out at tradeshows. Pens, pencils, and koozies are everywhere. You want your brand to be truly memorable, right? One way to make an impression is to bring along a few special promotional products for a select few visitors.



Raffles are the tried-and-true way to draw a crowd to your booth. The most important element of a raffle is, of course, the prize! Imagine how many tradeshow visitors will be clamoring to your booth for a chance to win the Day-Timer Kingston Zippered Desk Planner. It's sleek, sophisticated, and absolutely top-of-the-line.



Another creative way to hand out day planners is to save them for the people you make a real connection with. When you spend several minutes talking to an excellent potential customer, give them a Day-Timer Executive Planner. By making them feel special, you've instantly generated great rapport. 



Looking to go the extra mile and add a classy touch? Hand out your day planners with an Executive Twist Ball Pen. With a European black ballpoint ink cartridge and laser engraved logo, these pens are the perfect way to complete the set.



For a planner that's priced to hand out in large numbers, check out the Day-Timer Pocket Planner - it's a steal at prices as low as $5.04. The Day-Timer Attache Planner is another product priced right for handing out generously.

The holidays are a season of giving. As a business, you want to be a part of this charitable spirit. A simple way to do that is to show your appreciation to the organizations working hard to give back to your community.

On top of your own holiday giving, say thank you to local charities with promotional pens and pencils. These groups work tirelessly throughout the year, and especially during November and December. Promotional items allow you to show you care in a unique way.

The idea is a simple one. Order promotional pens and/or pencils in festival colors, imprint them with a holiday message, and attach a candy cane - there you go! It's an affordable token of appreciation, and delivering them in person establishes that person-to-person contact that's so crucial in developing long-term relationships.

The #1 Selling Bic Round Stic is absolutely perfect for this project. They're priced at less than a quarter a piece, and they come in virtually every color combination under the sun.

If a more upscale pen or pencil is in your budget, look to the #1 Pen Deal on the web (it's buy one, get one free!) or the Bic Pro Select Office Series Mechanical Pencil. (pictured below) Both are a handsome stainless steel color, and write and feel as smooth as the top premium pens on the market. These high-end writing instruments will give a little added boost to your message of appreciation.
