If you are on a tight budget and still want to give out promotional gifts you may worry that your choices will be overly limited. This is not the case. There are actually many promotional gifts that can make a great statement about your company and help increase customer loyalty without completely depleting your company’s budget.

One of the first choices you may want to consider is the travel mug. These can be extremely affordable and there are many great options to choose from. At the lower end of the price spectrum are plastic mugs. Metal mugs are also available but they may cost a little more per unit.

Another great choice is the baseball cap. Again, like travel mugs, there are often a range of prices for ball caps as well. You can pick and choose which ones will fit not only your budget but also your company’s image. One of the best features of ball caps is that they are often available in a variety of colors. This may make it easier to find an option that more closely mirrors your company’s corporate colors.

Computer accessories may also be quite affordable depending on what you want to buy. Even USB sticks are much more affordable now than they have been in the past. It may be possible to give out sticks that have a lot of storage without breaking your budget as well. Mouse pads can also be quite affordable, are easy to mail and can be personalized very easily but in today’s world, when many people are using laptops and track pads you may find that they are not as popular with customers as other items may be.

In order to make sure that the gift you choose does not break your budget you need to pay attention to the per-unit price, the shipping costs and any personalization costs. There are a variety of ways that you can personalize promotional gifts. Some are more expensive than others. For example, having a mug or hat personalized using surface printing methods will likely be much more affordable than it will be to have items engraved or embroidered.

Regardless of which gift you choose and how you have it personalized you have to remember that the total for all associated costs cannot exceed your maximum budgeted amount. You may find that you need to change the number of items you order; the way those items are personalized and possibly even which item you are ultimately going to send out as a promotional gift. Keep in mind that you may want to get a quote before you finalize your order that includes all of the associated costs so that you will know whether or not it will still stay within your budget

By choosing the right low cost promotional gifts you can increase your company’s visibility and possibly its customer base without having to worry that you are bankrupting it to do so. Once you start looking online you will see the full range of affordable gift options that are available and can simply choose the item that suits you best.
