Promotional Items for Conferences

But there are a lot of things that you might not know about how promotional items can drastically improve how well your company looks at the end of these conferences. There are three different types of items that you absolutely must hand out at your conference – and make sure that your logo is on each and every single one!

Conference Folders are one of the most important promotional items to have at your conference. Hand these out to each person at the conference when they arrive. Inside should be the agenda for the conference, a few words of thanks from your company and some promotional literature. On the cover of your promotional conference folders your logo should be printed discretely, but clearly. Even if you are not the direct organizers of the event, this will give everybody the sense that your company knows what is going on, and has a total handle on events.  

This kind of impression is definitely one worth cultivating at a conference. Conference folders can usually be made for around $8 each, and the price of the material you include might bring this up to a maximum of $10 per folder if you are inserting multimedia items like CDs, or color-printed pamphlets and promotional literature.

Conference Badges play an important role in getting everybody to feel comfortable with each other, and helping everybody get to know one another. If you are the conference organizers you can make use of these promotional items by placing your logo on the badges. Since everybody will be looking at each others’ badges all day your logo will get a lot of visibility. The best part about using conference badges as promotional items is that they are extremely cheap to have made, and will usually only cost your company a few dollars for the whole batch.

The last item on the list are Conference Bags. These are great to hand out at either the beginning or the end of the conference. They make great promotional items to hand out at the start of events, but remember that you will need something to give all of the representatives at the end of the conference. For only $5 per bag or less you can have stylish nylon bags made that can hold all of the material used at the conference, as well as a laptop or your conference folders.

Using promotional items at conferences is nothing new, but it is important to remember that this is a place where a lot of people who might need your products or services at some point are gathering. It is always in your company’s best interest to try to impress these people by giving them high value gifts. If you work hard at this and saturate the event with your logo and your brand, the people will end up leaving with the idea that your company is the only one that makes your product!
