If you are trying to promote your favorite bar or pub; the best way to go is a simple token of your appreciation. There are hundreds of different promotional products to choose from for a simple giveaway to say “thanks for your patronage”. Give these a try the next time there is a big game TV at the bar or a big crowd on a Saturday night.
Beer Coaster- These can almost be thought of as a once off, but there are many people that want to remember their big night with a remembrance. Maybe they met a special someone at the bar, or perhaps that was the night when your favorite rugby team actually won! The chance of someone actually grabbing a hold of one of your beer coasters is fairly good. There is something about stealing something from the local pub that is just too good to resist!
Beer Bottle Openers-What would life be like without one of these? The most popular giveaway at any bar is a beer bottle opener. I mean, after all, you’re getting it at the pub right! Obviously you’re there for a reason. I doubt you came there to have a Coke or a spot of tea. The one thing every pub goer can use around the house is a bottle opener. Not only will they use it, but you can be assured that all of their mates will be using it as well!
Cocktail Shaker-Now this is definitely not an everyday item by far, but is still one that can be beneficial in promoting your business. This item can be a little on the pricey side, around $20, but is well worth it if used properly. To make good use of this product, think creatively! Place your business’s logo, name, and telephone address then use the cocktail shaker as a trophy. Every great bar has games on special nights, so instead of giving away a gift certificate, give away a cocktail shaker. The uses for this item are endless, but remember that creativity counts on this one.
The majority of all promotional items targeted at bars are either going to be a bottle opener of some kind. You will find beer bottle openers, wine bottle openers, champagne bottle openers, and many other variations of the three. Some openers even go as far as looking almost like a Swiss Army Knife! Keep in mind that the more intricate the design of the product is, the less room you will find for customization. The main goal is to promote your company, right? How can you expect to promote your business if you are forced to put your business’s details so small that they can’t be seen?
So, to keep your promotion going in the right direction, make sure to choose products that will be useful to your customers, easily customized, and will pay for themselves through promotion. Some promotional items available for bars can get quite expensive, so make sure that you have plans on how to make them pay for themselves!
The Best Promotional Products to Give in Trade Shows
People, the buying public, would troop to trade shows to learn about products and services - and would take notice of exciting, new products launched in the market - but also, not a few in the queue are actually thrilled to participate in taste tests, join contests and redeem prizes, and most of all receive freebies galore. As a matter of fact, these freebies are conveniently placed free for picking. You can not blame people when they are tempted to amass loads of promotional products.
From small promotional items like pens, rulers, key chains and refrigerator magnets to quite cumbersome stuff such as bags, umbrellas and big balloons, free stuffs are sure to bring delight to a trade show visitor. And then people can not seem to get enough of mouse pads, paper weights, coffee mugs and more key rings they hardly can stuff on their tote bag, free also, of course. Never mind if most of the take-homes are a total sell-out, with glaring brands and tacky logos printed on the item, or flawed items - pens that don’t write, mugs that leak and post-its that don’t stick. Indeed, where else but trade shows, the ultimate source of free promotional products.

What To Do With Unwanted Promotional Products
Every year, millions of dollars are spent on promotional products by businesses of every size. The question is…where do those promotional items go?
Have you ever wondered what happened to that ugly fluorescent pink baseball cap that your boss gave you? How many times have you actually ever worn that obnoxious T-shirt that you won on the radio? Where is that pig shaped stress ball that you won at the grocery store? Do you know? Do you really care?
