Promotional Products & Logo Items

Whether you own a small business or multiple corporate locations across the country, promotional giveaways can bring a lot of brand value. We like to think of custom promotional items as small billboards without the huge advertising cost.

Just read this stat from Promotional Products Association International: people who receive promotional gifts are 83% more likely to do business with the brand. We like those numbers for your business!

The most popular product categories for promotions include drinkware, bags, keychains, pens and stationery. Let's look at the benefits and examples for each product type to help you shop.

Personalized Pens

Quality personalized pens at low prices are our specialty here at National Pen. Shop a variety of pens – including plastic, metal, gel ink, and stylus pens – and imprint with your name, company logo, or message. We make it quick and easy to create customized engraved pens for your office, events, customer meetings, and more!

Business Stationery

These logo items will always be popular because they easily fit into purses, travel bags, and car consoles so your recipients are ready when the writing itch strikes. We offer plenty of stationery options, from colorful promotional sticky notes to custom logo notepads and branded notebooks. Stationery sets with a notepad and pen are an ideal gift when you're looking to impress. One last suggestion: promotional calendars can’t be beat when it comes to exposure for your business. Your logo will be seen for a minimum of one year—and for such an affordable price!

Custom Keychains

Keychains are affordable promotional items that make for great year-round gifts. Plastic keychains are always loved by companies because of the different shapes and styles they come in. Your imprint will stand out on a house-, heart-, or hard hat-shaped keychain! Order metal keychains for an expensive feel that won't break the bank. Many are laser engraved, which give off a professional impression. Promotional keychain flashlights are also great to use in your marketing toolkit, especially because you get two quality products in one. Customers will love having a handy flashlight on their keyring to light their way.

Custom Drinkware

Logo drinkware is another favorite in the promotional items world. It makes sense because drinkware is such an integral part in everyone's day. Your customers or prospects wake up and pour coffee into a logo coffee mug. Then they take their next cup to go in a custom tumbler, which is when your logo gets great exposure on the bus, at the gym, and in the office. It's the type of advertising that normally would cost a fortune—but with branded drinkware, you can easily get your name out at a very reasonable price.Tip: See our new blog post on the best tumblers of the year.

Promotional Bags

When businesses are looking to add promotional gifts into their marketing mix, custom bags and totes are always on our list of product recommendations. Here's why: bags are naturally the type of thing people take on the go, which gets your logo and contact information in front of a lot of eyes—and for the price of just one bag! Custom bags are also extremely affordable promotional items, so you'll be comfortable giving them out to a large group at trade shows or events. You can also consider giving custom reusable shopping bags to your clients or team of employees.

When selecting the promotional products, you want the logo items that will best represent your business. And as the trends change, so do the promotional items that get recipients excited. Don’t worry, we keep up-to-date on what’s hot in the promotional world so you can market with flair. Whether you want the most stylish pens or the latest in drinkware, our trend report has you covered.

Trending logo items in 2021 include:

1. Rose Gold: Nothing grabs attention like a touch of rose gold on a product. Our Rose Gold Collection is full of crowd favorites. The only downside to stocking your reception area with rose gold pens is how quickly your pen jar empties. The upside, of course, is that people are more likely to hold onto fashionable products, making rose gold promotional items the best for extended brand visibility.
2. Drawstring Bags:Promoting is a cinch with affordable drawstring bags. Recipients can’t get enough of these convenient promotions. These days, it helps to have a bag to carry essential items like face masks and logo hand sanitizers. That means eyes will be on your branding wherever these promotional products get taken day-to-day.
3. Metal Pens: Quality is in. Customers are looking for promotional products that shift away from limited-use plastic items. This has many promoting their business with custom metal pens. These are more budget-friendly than ever and made to last so you get even more value from your promotion.
4. Drinkware: From stemless wine glasses to stainless steel insulated tumblers, customers love trendy drinkware. These promotional items just keep gaining traction. With so many people bringing their custom water bottles and travel mugs everywhere, it just makes sense to get your name seen on personalized drinkware.
5. Face Masks: For many, custom face masks will be an essential protective layer, either year-long or through cold and flu season. This means reusable face masks and wholesale disposable face masks will continue to be popular promotional items in the years to come.
