How Many Promotional Products Should I Order?

What Events will You Attend?

It's also helpful to consider your marketing schedule. If you're going to be presenting at a dozen trade shows throughout the year, you should consider ordering all of your marketing materials up front. Promotional items like personalized water bottles, custom pens, and imprinted stress balls can easily be stored for future use or later events (or even donated to a nonprofit if plans change or shows get cancelled). Plus, ordering in bulk not only saves you money per item, but saves you on shipping charges for repeat orders.

On the other hand, if you're doing a super-specific campaign or event ... like Skin Cancer Awareness Month, which happens in May - you might want to order a more limited quantity of items like single-use sunscreen packets. Whether you need a small order for a one-time meeting or a big batch of goodies to help you build brand awareness year round, the search feature on our website can help you filter by minimum quantities so you always have just enough!

When it comes down to it, certain products and quantities are going to work best for different events. If you're trying to promote your brand and create a memorable impression, it might make sense to order personalized magnets or custom note pads. On the other hand, if you're working on getting thank-you gifts for established customers or VIP clients, you might order fewer, higher-quality products like gold-plated pens.
