2020 Promotional Logo Gift Trends

 Wow what a wild ride this year has been.   This graph below shows you just how wild!  If you are in the market for logo promotional products you're probably wondering what will get people's attention without tradeshows and events?

Essentially for distributors like ourselves, in the past our primary sales involved pens, tote bags, water bottles, and usually a trending item (last year was pop sockets).  This year it's all about safety!  Custom masks, logo hand sanitizer are the perfect promotional product gifts to make your clients and staff feel safe and secure in these challenging times.  While our social distance floor stickers and hand washing signage are also good sellers, the masks themselves we knew were going to be big.  Americans would never be content to just wear a white mask, and we were one of the first out there offering made in the USA masks.  Thank you for continuing to support our certified Small, woman owned business during 2020.  Give us a call and our staff will be happy to show you the current trending styles, and yes give you our forecasts for 2021 as well!  (hint, think pent up demand for travel)  Call 888-332-2326 and yes check out those Hand Sanitizer prices!

Trade show gifts for 2020

It's that time of year, as we head into the roaring twenties and look to spice up our trade show booths, what can we expect to see?  Here at Adco Marketing we are loving the new looks on some of these products.  Eco responsible, reusable trade show gifts are definitely the rage going into this decade.  Rather than giving out individually wrapped candies, where the wrapper is thrown away, why not procure our reusable mint tins?  Instead of bottled water handed out at conventions, clients are spending a bit more on bpa free reusable bottles which can be filled at water fill stations throughout the show.  

Also trending are trade show gifts made in the USA.  Our bag clips, magnets, custom table cloths, natural lip balms and mini candle tins are perfect for those clients wanting to see made in America products.  

How can you decide what trade show giveaway is best for your budget?  Give us a call, our knowledgeable staff can walk you through the eco trade show choices at 888-332-ADCO.

The questions to ask yourself as an event planner or conference coordinator:

Reduce- Does it Reduce Waste?

Every single day 60 million plastic bottles are thrown away. Ack! That’s a pretty grim statistic. Something as simple as offering a reusable water bottle with your company logo can help reduce waste on a pretty significant level. How about a vacuum insulated travel mug that can be brought to the coffee shop? That’s waste reduction and branding for your corporate logo with every sip. Reusable straws are a very hot item this year. We have them in sets that come with a convenient cleaning brush, easy to travel straws that can clip on keychains, retractable for easy storage-be sure to check out this beautiful rose gold straw.

Reuse- Can it be Used More Than Once?

Choosing an eco friendly or green product can be as simple as picking an item that can be used more than once. Choose a cloth tote bag over a disposable plastic one. How about an item of clothing that will be worn for years to come? Not only is this doing something great for our planet- it’s getting your company years of exposure with one purchase.

Recycle - Is it Made of Recycled Material?

We all know the importance of turning items in for recycling, now you can be a vital part of the second half of that equation- purchasing items made from those recycled items. No product iliustrates this better than our “I Used To Be A Bottle Recycled Drawstring Bag.” Made from post consumer plastic this bag can also be reused again and again. 

People want to make better choices for the planet and by choosing from our selection of eco friendly products that REDUCE, REUSE, and RECYCLE your customers and clients will know your brand is own board with them.

Promotional Product Dreams

We get it.  Your company wants marketing items.  Creative, unique, high quality, and budget priced.  Staring wistfully at a page full of power banks, and another of colorful copper walled tumblers, you sigh and click on the javalina pen, and the white ceramic mug.  But wait!  Our design team is ready to advise you on other options in whatever price range you need for your events and client marketing gifts.  If you still order the pen and mug, let us play with your art, come up with a creative tag line, or perhaps a city scape at the bottom to jazz up even the most budget of products.  Our under a dollar promotional items range from cell phone wallets and ice packs to jar openers and cell phone holders.

Wait!  A bad dream a week later...  It's the last moment and you need a custom table cloth for the trade show booth, oh and do we carry custom napkins for that receiption you are hosting? 
We get it.  Budgets open up, event dates change, shipping locations change, logos change, taglines change - it's that kind of world.  You need a flexible marketing ideas type of company that rolls with the punches right?  Call us, the experts who have tested all the items on our site and offer many more not shown.


Let Adco Marketing fulfill your marketing dreams, one pen at a time...  888-332-2326.  sales@adcomarketing.com

Back To School Custom Backpacks

It's that time of year when promotional backpacks are needed for the millions of children and college students heading back to school.  Which custom backpack works for your event?

These are our Top Five Custom Backpacks

1.  Elementary students need something small.  Less than 17 inches for sure in terms of height.  If you have a small budget, perhaps you are packing custom pens and school supplies into these, you might try our drawstring backpacks which offer a budget price and are great for after school sleep overs as well!  We love this style below which has a pocket for your cell phone or lunch money.

2.  We also love the Elementary school custom backpack with school logo in it.  This one is simple, but super strong and will hold up to being thrown down on the playground.  Too cool for school right?

3.  Number 3 is our long time On the Move Custom Backpack best selling backpack for logo school giveaways.  Great for days when there aren't a lot of classes, or you just want to grab and go for a promotional school field trip backpack.  Speaking of field trips don't forget Adco Marketing does lanyards as well as traditional custom tshirts.

4. Ok it's middle school and above age range?  Serious homework time!  Let's get them this larger gemline backpack with lots of pockets, and room for those binders.

5.  Lastly college students love our name brand backpacks from Ogio.  Custom embroidered backpacks with your logo will definitely stand out on campus!

Who needs more top ten school promotional products?  Call 888-332-ADCO for additional ideas!

Choosing Your Trade Show Giveaways

Ok, the deadline is nearing. Your conference is approaching and you've rented the booth. Now what? Maybe you are thinking a custom power bank, but again, didn't you see those last year at a bunch of booths?

Who is going to be your promotions expert, who will tell you the current trends without pressure to buy? Is that old box of pens from last year really going to get you the ROI you are looking for? (and do they even write anymore?)

Consider these possible issues:

• Booth Design - do you want your table gifts "accessible", where folks can grab at will? Storing higher end items underneath that you hand out to qualified leads is nice for folks on a budget. Speaking of qualified leads...
• Lead Qualification is critical to make sure you haven't wasted all that booth rental fee. Make a drawing for a cool item preferably related to your business - gather information via ipad entry or note cards. (just because they visited your booth doesn't mean they are going to remember you!) We even offer custom spinner wheels which can be used to really attract a crowd.
• Pens! Yes they are super cheap... but really, what message are you wanting to be remembered by? At least try our Mop Topper pens which are a combo pen, stylus, and screen wipe and your booth will be more approachable and colorful as well.
  
  
• After the show? Wait a minute...you're exhausted, how easy is your booth to pack up? (we offer custom booths that pop up and down easily). And what about followup for all those leads? Our direct mail contact gifts will help with that ROI.

There is a LOT to think about. We've been working in this industry for over 20 years. We've done the leg work. We know the drill and which suppliers can produce quickly, with quality promotional products. Call 888-332-ADCO, and relax... look for those comfortable trade show shoes... like this... NOT!

Preparing for a Conference as an Exhibitor

How do you evaluate one of the top suppliers of promotional products in our industry? Best service, "check".  Great pricing, "check".  Unique ideas, "check".  Next question?  Oh right... On time delivery, "check".  Take Purchase orders?  "check".   Accept VISA, MASTERCARD, DISCOVER, AMERICAN EXPRESS? "check".
Now that your list is checked off, let's get down to business.  Email us your event description and your budget.  Let us mockup ideas for you with your logo or event name.  We will remind you of "start to finish" preparation for that convention.  Let us help you make your own checklist! 
Banners?
Table Cloths?  Six foot or eight foot?  Or maybe one that converts?
Napkins and Paper Plates for the cocktail hour or breakfast?
Custom Tote Bags - what kind?  Inexpensive?  Reusable?  Quality, thick messenger style bag?  Maybe a backpack is more appropriate?
Hospitality suite for top clients? - It's not just about the hotel food you serve, let's produce a custom blue tooth speaker, or your own branded Alexa, or high end custom mint tins or chocolate as a nice take home.
Volunteer apparel?  How will conventioners know which direction to go, who can help them?  Don't have the budget for t-shirts or polos?  How about caps, or branded arm sleeves?
Speaker gifts?  One piece minimums for awards and speaker gifts.  Just ask your sales person for ideas!
Custom note pads so your customers can take notes on what they learn at your conference?  We can insert agendas, tip in pages, floor maps and more!
How prepared are you for that annual conference?  Do you feel "stuck", having handed out the same items for years?  Let us impress your boss or committee.  We have been thinking ahead for more than 20 years.  Relax.  We've got this!

Popsockets and figit spinners what the heck?

Trying to understand the latest popsocket show giveaway?  Why are these things like custom figit spinners popular?  From Las Vegas trade shows to rural Montana school yards to retail resale shops throughout the nation, pop sockets and figit spinners seem to be everywhere.  Of course those of us that bought the pet rock can only snicker now.  However, the difference is that these are functional, and actually have a use beyond the drawer.
Our custom trade show giveaway pop sockets can be used in a variety of ways.  Admittedly the figit spinners mainly spin and look cool, but also help with focus for figity folks.
These sockets expand out from the back of the casing when required, and in so doing open up a range of different modes and functions. For example, using one or both of the sockets you can position your iPhone in a number of “modes.” These include:

• Surfing mode
• Theater mode
• Texting mode
• FaceTime mode
• Gaming mode

The logoed popsockets also make it easier to hold your iPhone on your shoulder, operate it securely when held in one hand, and secure it on a belt, pocket, or trouser top. But probably one of the most useful and likely popular functions is the ability to use the sockets for holding your earphones while keeping the cable away from the display.  Yep, even with the new blue tooth ear buds, we are still a cabled society!  See this cool video as well.


Thanks for thinking of Adco Marketing for these unique promotional products!

Customer Service Week Promotional Giveaway Ideas

Customer service week we need to celebrate the hard work your lowest paid employees are doing for you.  So let's reward them well!  Are you thinking of employees who work in customer service, who want to :

 

1.  Be reminded how much you appreciate them

 

2.  Be reminded what doing good customer service is all about.

 

So I would offer one item that is a high quality thank you type item that they could use everyday in the office -  our copper insulated tumblers is what first comes to mind.  Second item  - similar but for water is our s'well style bottles.  

 

 

​Then something with words on it, reminding them - Smile when on phone (it makes their voice sound more peppy), prompt service, etc - I would offer something with a mirror that would be fun like these mirror phone stands.  Call 888-332-ADCO for more custom mirror style items.

 

​

 

Or a custom cube with various pro service slogans on the sides:

 

 

Finally since it will be October - how about an umbrella?

 

We've got this amazing new one on our site which lets you jump in your car without getting the seat wet:

Back to School Custom Backpacks with Logos

Backpacks, drawstring bags, computer padded backpacks, how in the world can you tell what to purchase for your back to school promotions?  I know how it is....  I can't tell you how many times my daughter refused to carry her backpack to school especially once middle school was done.  However, they are the best way to make sure you actually can find all your books, pens, cell phone, calculator and more.  So the tradition continues of summer backpack purchases for back to school.  Let's talk a bit about kinds of backpacks with your logo that can be purchased, then we can go into the "stylish" types too, known as fashion backpacks.

The least expensive backpack is called a drawstring bag.  It's lightweight, holds your PE clothes, maybe some items for a sleepover, or a day hike.  They are actually our most popular backpack.  There are a few different materials to choose from, from nylon to non woven to cotton.  I like the nylon the best.  Below are some photos and links for these drawstring backpacks.  Lots of room for logos, so people really like them!


The next backpack most often purchased are our smaller backpacks, perfect for elementary age students.  Anything shorter than 17 inches in height fits the bill.  We like the light weight nature of this backpack particularly.  The smaller kids have enough trouble carrying their books, a super crazy Jansport probably wont' get a lot of use.
 
Finally, kids today are asked to carry ipads, computers back and forth more and more often to school.  So our array of computer backpacks are perfect and fit any budget.  The Rangeley backpack has a funny name, but seriously was our number one selling backpack last year.  Great padded back to school backpack.   Charcoal is the new black, so that's all the range, and most school logos look great on this.  How about our lovely new backpack from gemline, great for back to school!


Got a fashion oriented school?  Our messenger style bags are perfect for back to school in high school.  These are not high school backpacks exactly, but with fewer books going back and forth these days, my daughter gets away with these styles no problem.  If you call us at 888-332-ADCO or www.adcomarketing.com we can offer even more ideas!


 

Conference Trade show Giveaway Strategies

We love to make your giveaways really count, but how do you choose from all that are out there?  Conference and tradeshows have thousands of booths, (and dollars) at stake.  How to make the most from your booth experience? Adco Marketing provides items ranging from Table Cloths, Banners, and Popup Displays to assist with the look and feel of your booth.  Your colors should be coordinated, but not so bright as to distract from the actual product or service you are selling.  These are long term purchases, and we recommend thinking about future shows as well.  For example, we have a custom table cloth that is "convertible" from six feet to eight feet, offering much flexibility.

Second to consider after the visuals are in place, is the flow of the booth.  If it's a small 10 x 10 booth, you might consider putting your "table" off to the side, allowing for a more accessible relationship with the convention attendees, rather than the more intimidating, less welcoming "two people sitting behind a table" format.  Regardless, its going to be important to provide an interesting promotional product gift that is actually useful, and fun, not something to be thrown immediately into a drawer.  However the cononundrum is that those "throw away" items are the kind people gravitate to, thinking of their kids at home, or immediate needs of hunger - Like for example stress balls,  custom chocolates, a pen, etc.  

The more useful the item, the longer it stays with your client, reminding them over and over about your company.  When we studied the "marketing ROI" return on promotional products for trade shows, we got some amazing results.  Far better than say from handing out a brochure about your company product and services.

• 94 percent could recall a promotional product they had received in the past two years
• 89 percent could also recall the advertiser
• 83 percent reported that they liked receiving promotional products
• 48 percent would like to receive promotional products more often
• 69 percent generally keep the promotional product

Promotional products are powerful, both as effective forms of communication and as useable, necessary tools. The following results reveal just how seamlessly promotional products integrate into life, impacting the daily routines of the recipients.

• 91% had at least one promotional product in their kitchen
• 74% had at least one promotional product in their work area
• 55% had at least one promotional product in their bedroom closet/storage space

 So if you'd like a lasting presence whether in the home or the office, select your trade show giveaways wisely, and give Adco Marketing a call for ideas!  888-332-ADCO.

Custom Umbrellas for Customer Gifts and Client Promotional Umbrellas

My goodness is it winter already?  In 2017?  Yes indeed and it's time to choose your next custom promotional product.  We've had incredible success with our newest custom umbrella, the rebel.  When you are looking for unique umbrellas, and you don't want your seat in the car to get wet, check this one out!

Here is a video that looks pretty cool too of me attempting to demonstrate this custom umbrella in a storm!


But often we like to go back to basics and year after year our custom umbrella, the revolution has stood out from our competition.  This umbrella, purchased in bulk with your logo on it can stay in the brief case, purse or car.  It's got a nice soft rubber handle and feels terrific!

Often when people purchase custom umbrellas it's because they want their logo to be seen!  But what about the summer months?  Always pay a little extra to print the tie. That way when it's closed you are still getting that exposure.

Our custom umbrellas vary quite a bit in size.  Maybe in a big city, or planning for that next golf tournament, a large umbrella would be nice.  This golf umbrella is one of our best sellers.  We take just a nice wide umbrella, but add things like "vents" which keep you and your umbrella from blowing away in that wind storm.

Call our dedicated staff at Adco Marketing to hear more about these promotional umbrellas or other winter giveaways like our custom beanies and see videos of that new rebel umbrella as well.  Our number is 888-332-ADCO.

Maximizing ROI Investment for Tradeshows

Tradeshows are very expensive, but potentially so lucrative.  What a great place to get up and close with your potential customers!  Nice booth, brochures at the ready, company banner hung, staff ready to talk to people.  What else could you need?  Well actually, quite a bit more.  We break it into three categories here at Adco Marketing.

1.  Table top gifts.  These are inexpensive promotional items to grab the eye of those walking past your booth.  Whether it's our custom cell phone wallets in fun colors, our new aqua bead ice/hot packs, or even a variety of colorful pens, color draws people into the booth for sure.  Once there your sparkling personalities are needed to keep them chatting while you "vet" them to see if they might be a nice potential real client.  It's helpful in this case to also have a game going, or a drawing, something where they can win other promotional items, or a coupon for your particular services.

2.  Under the table gifts.  These are the higher end promotional products such as our power banks, a nice travel tumbler, or a sunshade that might be useful and suitable for executives and potential buyers you feel might really be nice for followup after the conference.  This useful promotional item will help them remember your company, and keep your logo and website nearby after the event whether the item is for their car, their office, or their home.

3.  After the conference mailer gifts.  This is the most critical component for trade show returns on investment.  (ROI)  Have purchased a post tradeshow mailer ahead of time.  (Let's face it your team will be tired after the show, they may not make those phone call followups right away)  Whether our simple magnets, coasters, or a mailer related to your "theme", something that retriggers the memory is necessary.  With our twenty plus years in business, our staff can help you design the appropriate post trade show followup promotional piece to help seal the deal.

We love helping our customers make their tradeshows a success! Call 888-332-ADCO for more cool ROI tradeshow ideas!

Full Color Promotional Products with Logos

Ok you've paid that advertising agency or graphic artist a fortune to create your new brand identity.  However, quite often our clients would like to put their full color logos on our promotional products, only to be told that the logo is too expensive or doesn't fit on that pen!   Our experienced staff can show you which trade show giveaways can hold these complex logos. In the case of a pen for example, this can often be difficult, but not with our full color pens, an example of which is below:

Maybe your logo has half tones and shading?  We know it looks so cool, and often customers are quite sad when we explain that the custom travel mug cannot show half tones.  But rejoice, because new full color technology is all the rage and now we can show those full color imprints on a variety of items from backpacks and pens to power banks and cell phone wallets.  Sometimes the digital printing processes take a bit longer, perhaps a week or more, so be sure to call Adco Marketing first and look at what might work for your event date.

Need to hand out some fun full color imprint promotional products such as lip balms, custom candy bags or microfiber cloths?  Adco Marketing is here to help.  Go crazy with these cloths below with nice large imprint areas in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Great under a dollar promotional giveaway!

Really nice quality lip balms hold a logo as well with full color - just ask us to show how your logo looks on these unique, high quality Made in the USA lip balms.  It sounds like a sales pitch, but really in terms of products made in the USA, we do an exceptional job with our lip balms.  Whether with SPF, tinted, or just a really nice assortment of flavors, we rock the full color imprinting on these!




And for a higher end promotional item with full color logo, our custom travel mugs now can be printed with that super cool logo as well!  See the exceptional detail and close registration on the artwork below.

Promotional Tradeshow Giveways on a Budget

Budget friendly promotional products range from the incredibly useful such as phone charging cords and phone battery packs (called power banks) to the slightly more "fun" side of life including smiley face emoticon stress balls and cool looking unique pens.  Going with functional items does not need to be expensive - indeed our 3m postit notes are as low as $.37 each and honestly even with all the computers and tablet devices in the world, once in a while you still need a decent sticky note to scribble down that important information!  No one will throw them away if they are at your tradeshow booth, and they get a nice long desk life especially if you can do one that is 50 sheets or 100 sheets thick.

Speaking of functional items, Adco Marketing produces these really great coasters.  Unless you are going to use your iphone for a coaster (not recommended!), these are another item not going anywhere.  Whether it's the full color stone coasters, or the custom cork coaster, or even the pub coasters made from cardboard, what a terrific promotional item on a budget!

Finally when you are on a tight convention trade show budget, even though you've spent thousands on your booth space, we recommend giving out a logo item more than your brochure (and full color brochures aren't cheap these days).  The average pen lasts two years and is owned by eight people - that's great exposure!  Try our javalina pen for under fifty cents for a cute pen that still writes really well.  Even our custom memory flashdrives are now under five dollars and you can load that brochure and your corporate video onto there.

At Adco Marketing we get a lot of requests from hospitals, doctors offices, endoscopy centers, laser eye centers and more.  They often ask, what can they give away that is more exciting than a pen but doesn't break the budget?   While we can custom create sticky notes with a cool xray phantom background, or maybe a mousepad with photos of your hospital, you may want something a bit more fun.

Here are some unique medical promotional products below.
Hand sanitizer spray to look like xray, doctor uniform, scrubs and more!.


Aren't these cool?  Remember often offices are giving out items to be used for therapy as well.  These doctor stress relievers are just the ticket!



How about giving logo items that have functional use at home? Our custom pill boxes are very popular and your clients will be so thankful when they receive!


Honestly just calling Adco Marketing is a great idea.  We would love to assist you planning that hospital trade show booth, gifts for the maternity ward, or just items your patients will love.  888-332-ADCO.
