Promotional gadgets for the office - a great and inexpensive way to project a positive image

The world of marketing has changed a great deal in recent times and has moved forward. Many new methods of attracting the attention of potential customers, warming up a company's image or creating a brand communication strategy have emerged. However, there is something that has not changed - promotional gadgets are still a great and universal way of promotion. Among them, gadgets dedicated to the office, which have many applications, lead the way. They can be used by our employees at the company's headquarters and develop among them a sense of brand prestige and build loyalty. Employees will also take them home and remember their work there, as well as hand them out to friends or random passers-by they meet on the street, tram or bus, when someone asks, for example, "Can I borrow your pen?".

They will also come off favourably when our company is visited by guests - potential customers or clients. So it's worth having promotional gadgets marked with our brand, preferably packaged affordably in a bag with our branding, to give as gifts to our visitors. After all, who doesn't like gifts? It's hard to find such people, even when it comes to trinkets. So, by receiving a free gift from us, the recipient will have a positive association with our company, and they will be reminded of these good emotions every time they use the items received from us. This will significantly warm up the company-client relationship.

6 classic ideas for office promotional gadgets

The best thing about promotional gadgets for the office is that they don't have a rigid framework as to the range of items we can call them. The rules of working in offices have evolved a lot in recent years, and so the things we use there have also changed.

First idea: pens with your company logo

Regardless of which company you manage or work for, this is an essential item in every office and, despite advancing computerisation, still timeless. When we need to make a note of something, we instinctively reach for it, so there is no need to worry that it will lie unnoticed in a drawer. Also perfect as a gift or souvenir for your customers, so they never forget you. Pens with your company logo are a great, practical gadget that will always come in handy.

Idea two: Company mugs

We've yet to meet an office where there wasn't a place to make ourselves a coffee or tea. Nor have we met people who wouldn't be happy to see mugs with the company logo on them. So it's also a great form of gift. You can always go crazy with the print, no one said it always has to be your company logo, but maybe something that will draw attention and be associated with it. In any case, it's a cool idea for an office gadget.

Idea three: Calendars

Meetings, meetings and more meetings. Working in corporations or even smaller companies, whether related to accounting or the advertising industry, there are a lot of meetings. It would be good to keep them in mind, and while smartphone apps work, electronics can fail, and what is written in your calendar will never disappear.

Idea four: Notebooks and notebooks

This idea is somewhat related to the previous one, but you can jot down anything. It doesn't necessarily have to be related to a specific day (date). This is where notepads come in handy. You can get them in various formats, with or without pens, eco-friendly or in hardcover. There are plenty of options, and such a personalised notepad for each of your employees is sure to please them. It's not even a question of whether they are necessary, but in most cases it's the gesture that counts.

Fifth idea: promotional memory sticks

Maybe this idea is not strictly related to advertising office gadgets but to people working in offices. It is often the case that the battery in our smartphone drains in no time from the flurry of phone calls. Then a moment's rush, a meeting at the client's and we have no battery. In such a situation, we are rescued by promotional memory sticks, which charge our smartphone in no time, and we will have one less problem to deal with.

Sixth idea: key lanyards

Here an idea aimed at larger corporations where the number of people working in an office or even an office building is simply high. Lanyards with badges will help us to recognise specific people. This will be especially helpful for newly hired employees, who certainly haven't had time to get to know everyone yet.

In fact, the group of items in this category is fluid and depends on the ingenuity and desire of the purchaser. Who would have thought not so long ago that a promotional gadget for the office could be protective masks? And now they are increasingly being ordered by companies.
