Exhibition giveaways: plan a promotional merchandise budget

Set a job for each giveaway

A pen can support a conversation and note taking; a tote can hold literature; a more substantial gift may suit a booked meeting. Decide how your team will distribute items and avoid ordering only on estimated footfall. A useful item should relate to the visitor’s needs.

Compare the finished order cost

Check minimum quantities, branding positions and setup charges for each shortlisted product. Ask for delivery and VAT to be included in the quotation. If your budget is fixed, explain which products are essential so the team can compare quantities or alternative specifications.

Plan delivery and artwork

Give the event date, receiving address, venue restrictions and contact details with the enquiry. Confirm the delivery plan before approving production. Keep logos simple enough to read at the actual print size, especially on pens and small accessories.
