It's tough when you're down to the line with a limited budget, but you still need to get quality promotional items for your next event. We have a lot of clients come to us in a similar position, so you're definitely not alone. But what are the best-branded products to purchase when you've got to watch the purse strings? We've got a list to help make things as easy as possible for you.

Classic Cheap Promotional Products

Tried and true, these products are about as cheap as they come and they work for all manner of events. You go past these popular product ideas for bargain prices.

• Logo Branded Plastic Pens - One of the cheapest product options around, these are a great option if you need to buy a lot of items and want home/office visibility as well.
• Stress Balls - Cheap and cheerful, ideal for promoting your brand in a gift bag or as a corporate giveaway item.
• Promotional Calico Tote Bags - These items are eco-friendly and help give your logo a boost when people use them for their daily commute or weekly grocery trips.
• Custom Printed Magnets - Cheap as chips, perfect for mail-out campaigns or as gifts with sales, magnets are the perfect promo gift for tradies, small business owners, and schools.

Alternative Budget Item Ideas

Want something that's a bit outside the box? We've got some creative ideas for products that will make your event stand out without emptying your pockets.

• Customised Lip Balms - Affordable and stylish, lip balms suit most demographics, and they're a more personal gift than, say, a pen. Easy to brand in full-colour too!
• Microfibre Clothes With Branding - A great option if you want an Australian-made product that's a bit different and comes in under budget.
• Mini Packs of Jelly Beans - Want a tasty treat to promote your event? Jelly beans are an affordable yet eye-catching option.
• Engraved Business Card Holders - Need a product that has a premium look without the huge price tag? Business card holders are stylish, sturdy, and best of all, cheap!

Important Details to Keep in Mind

• Never say never! Just because it might seem like some products are out of your price range, doesn't mean there aren't similar options out there. Our friendly sales team know the items we have available and can recommend you some great alternatives.
• Opt for simplicity! Get your branding in one solid colour rather than multiple colours, and you can save a lot on your final order amount.
• Order in bulk! Another idea is to order a large bulk quantity if you have several upcoming events. So rather than ordering 100, order 250 and enjoy lower prices per unit + more goods!
