So what do we mean exactly when we say the ‘best promotional items’?
The best promotional items are the ones that:
- Your customers value and appreciate.

- Are modern, contemporary, and well designed.
- Provide a great cost per impression.
- Solve a real customer problem.
- Are relevant to your current and future customers.
So let’s look at some of the best promotional items to give away:
1. The Stylus Pen
Giving away basic pens as promotional items is very outdated and boring. There’s just nothing special about giving some pens to people!
That’s why, a great promotional item to give is “The Stylus Pen”. It’s not only a regular gel ink pen, but can also be used as a stylus, and a mobile phone holder. They’re also easy to produce in relatively short time periods, so if you need them urgently, we can make them quick.

Why it’s one of the best promotional items to give away?
Given that a lot of people no longer use pen and paper, and are moving to a paperless way of taking notes on their tablets, a stylus pen is undoubtedly one of the best promotional items to give away.
2. Credit Card Sized Multi-Tool
Everyone needs tools around the house. We’ve normally got a tool box for home and office use, but we’re completely stranded when we’re on the road and don’t have a knife to make a quick cut, or a bottle opener to open a beer.
That’s why we’ve got this credit card sized multi-tool, which is a bottle opener, a scale, a knife, a phone stand, a letter opener, a screw driver, a can opener and a can opener, all in one!

4. Wireless Smartphone Charger
Charging your smartphone with wired cables is inconvenient. Charging it wirelessly is in vogue. As smartphones start removing headphone jacks and other ports from the body of the phone, customers will gradually shift to wireless charging.
The great thing about wireless charging is that it has a ‘fast charging’ mode too, allowing customers to charge their phones faster and better.
