Think for a moment about the last time you were at a corporate event or retreat. How many free promotional items did you take? How many did you actually want? Most people simply do not care about promotional items, and may only take them to be courtesy.

At corporate events and conferences, there is simply too much promotional swag for most of it to be very effective. Don’t be the company giving out the wrong stuff! Keep reading to find out what no one wants, and why our products are actually useful.

Boring Swag at Corporate Events

There are some items that companies just keep handing out that no one keeps or wants. Anything that is very cheap will just get thrown away at the first opportunity. Promotional pens are as good as useless–pens are everywhere and people do not see a reason to pay attention to it.

The same is true for any cheap-looking commonplace item. (Think fridge magnets, stickers, pens, pencils, etc.) The same is true for brochures and other printed materials. People just don’t want to be bothered with them.

There are some types of items that are exceptions, though.

What People Actually Use

To be effective as a promotional item, the item must first of all not be immediately thrown away. It needs to be something that people actually have some interest in keeping, even for a little while. It also must have some intrinsic value or interesting element.

It also should be something that people can put to use immediately. This creates a positive feeling, which you want people to associate with your brand. Promotional products do actually work–if you can snag just a little bit of customer’s attention.

We have a simple, effective product that meets all of these criteria. What is it? Custom-labeled bottled spring water.

Custom Spring Water Bottles

Why does this product work well? People just want good, bottled water. It’s a massive industry predicted to be valued at $334 billion in a few years. Concerns about clean water and health, as well as the convenience of bottled water, make it a very popular product.

Our customizable water bottles look great and can display your own logo or message. The water is from our own private spring. It’s a straightforward product that everyone wants.

So, when people attend a corporate event and are overrun by event swag, they will turn to the custom bottled water as something they want. You need water, after all.

You don’t need customers to keep your item forever. You just need your logo to make a positive impression. The attractive design and the source of the spring provide intrinsic value. It can be utilized immediately. This is all effective for promotional products.
