I just got my current 4Imprint catalog. It always makes me look through it and think about which promotional items would work best with our clients. Do they want a pen, a key chain, or a flashlight? Or maybe an umbrella or coffee mug? 

In the past, we have done pocket calenders, pens, carabiners, flashlights, highlighters, keychains, and post-it notepads. I would say we have had the best luck with carabiners. I think the kids are used to using these and its cheap and effective.

The things I would consider when looking at promo giveaways are:

1. Price per person

2. Size and appearance of your logo

3. Use of item - how many people use them now?

4. How often can it be used? Umbrellas cost a lot and are only used in rain/snow.
