Budget And Quick Turnaround Conference Gifts by Tina Rinaudo

Are you working on a low budget for your conference, but still want to hand out conference gifts that make an impact? Conference gifts don't need to be expensive to be memorable. There are many conference table giveaways and takeaways that will only cost you a few pence per item but will still make a statement that matches your marketing. It's all a matter of clever marketing and presentation. Here are a few ways to make a big splash on small budget.

Carrier Bags
People pick up a huge lot of swag at conferences and trade shows, and carry bags are always a welcome giveaway gift. Choose a heavy duty plastic bag with a distinctive color and logo imprint and you'll be one of the most visible names on display for as little as 8 to 10 pence.

Printed Plastic Pens
Choose a bright color with high-contrast printing. Add your business slogan to the imprint for just a couple of cents per item. Pens are perennially popular no one ever has enough. They're also a conference gift with legs". More often than not, the pen with your imprint on it will pass through more than one set of hands and put your business slogan and name in front of many sets of eyes.

Car Stickers and Fridge Magnets
Want to say thank you for a contribution or for signing up to a mailing list? For just a few pennies each, you can put your message on a mobile signboard by handing out car stickers naming the contributor as a support of your cause, business or brand. Car stickers are one of the lowest cost and most highly effective promotional items available.

Notepads and Sticky Notes
It's another of those items of which people never have enough. A note pad with a twist will be even more popular. Choose from notepads preprinted with to-do lists and shopping lists, pads that stick on your refrigerator and pads that mount in your automobile for jotting down quick notes when you take directions.

Magnetic Photo Frames
