Corporate Incentive Gift Discount Guide

The corporate incentive gift discount options available to you depend on what you need, how many you need and who you are buying from. Most corporate gift dealers offer tiered pricing based on the volume of items you order. For example, golf towels may be sold in quantities of:

10-49 units – $5.00 each
50-99 units – $4.50
100-249 units – $4.00
250-499 unties – $3.00
500+ – $2.00 each

So an instant corporate incentive gift “discount” comes by virtue of buying a larger quantity.

Other ways you can get discounts on corporate gift incentives and promotional products is looking for seasonal specials and clearance items. In some cases, you may be able to order individual product samples at the lowest pricing tier.

You no doubt will want some degree of customization of your incentive, with corporate branding / logo / phone number / tagline etc. Various ways of personalizing these gifts include silkscreen printing, embroidery, embossing and engraving, which adds to the unit costs. You may find it more cost effective to order blank products from a distributor and have your items customized by another company who can offer the personalization for less. And depending on your quantity needs and the terms of the distributor or wholesaler you are dealing with, you may have to seek out your own printer/embosser etc. if personalization is only available for orders in larger quantities.

Tradeshow Giveaway Ideas

Trade show giveaways are hot marketing tools. But not all tradeshow give away ideas are effective. Quality giveaways with value to the recipient create positive impressions about your brand, where cheap, thoughtless items have do the opposite.

Some tradeshow give away ideas are:

*Pens
*Notebags
*Candy
*Baseball hats
*T-Shirts
*Mousepads
*Key chains
*Coffee mugs
*Product samples
*Magnets
*Calendars

Make sure your give away also comes with a take away about your company, product or service. Effective giveaways cause recipients to remember you. Beware of grab-and-go, present gifts individually and make sure the consumer learns something about your company at the same time. This can be done by creating a theme for your booth and giving away gifts related to the theme, or asking the consumer a question about your company in exchange for a gift.

You can also collect valuable lead data by giving away gifts in exchange for providing personal information such as name, e-mail address and phone number. Make sure your information form clearly allows an “opt-out” option regarding contacting the customer, as “spamming” them with your company’s marketing materials will not help your relationship with them.

Great giveaway ideas are ones that have utility for the recipient and are not disposable. The best ideas are items that will be seen and passed on to others in your target market as well.
