Everybody loves a giveaway. Whether it’s part of an online competition or free handouts at a trade show, giving away promotional merchandise are useful, fun, and effective ways to get your brand name out there and maximise engagement. You can make a lasting impression on attendants of your event; when someone receives an item they value, be it a t-shirt they can wear to the gym or a mug they can take to work, they are likely to positively remember your brand for a long while after the event.
