Cheap Promotional Gift Ideas
Key Points
- Low-cost promotional items like pens, stickers, and stationery help maximise reach without putting pressure on your budget.
- It’s worth mixing everyday essentials with small personalised gifts to add variety while keeping overall costs manageable.
- Health and wellbeing items can also be a practical choice, especially when they align with current needs and are easy to distribute in bulk.
Cheap giveaways are perfect for events where you need to hand out merch to over 1,000 people. They can range from little trinkets like keychains and pens, to larger items such as t–shirts or hats. The cost of these items is usually quite affordable, so they‘re perfect for any budget. In this blog, we will share what the best low-cost giveaways are that Australians love.
You can give away these promotional items at trade shows, conventions, giveaways, gift bags at special events, or even use them as direct mail pieces. Cheap promotional gifts present an opportunity to reach out to more people while making a lasting impression that‘s both memorable and impactful – all without breaking the bank!
Logo Branded Stationery in Bulk
One of the classic types of promo gifts, and with good reason, stationery products are affordable while providing an essential service for recipients. Although the branding space on some items like pens isn’t that large, this is easily compensated for by the fact that pens get used each day at home and work. Some of our most cost-effective stationery items include:
- Bulk Printed Plastic Pens
- Eco-Friendly Wooden Pens
- 1-Colour Printed Sticky Notes
- Promotional Vinyl Stickers
Mary Aguirre-Cruz, one of our account managers, loves to recommend these to her clients because they’re cost-effective, plus, when you choose the right item, they can resonate with your recipients. According to her, most clients love sticky note shapes (shaped based on the industry) because they’re cheap and practical.
Wellness items
If you’re after something a little more “special” and a little less corporate, why not go for personalised wellness items? These items are perfect for hospitality industries and beauty or wellness salons. Some of our best-selling wellness items are lip balms and seedsticks. If you have more budget to spare, Shealeigh Keeney, one of our account managers, recommends you go for scented candles.
Tech Giveaways
While tech giveaways are generally expensive, we have a few options that are not! Swami Rossat, one of our account managers, mentioned that based on his experience attending trade shows and events in Sydney, the giveaways are always tech items. These items include:
- Microfibre cloths
- Charging cables
- Mobile accessories like screen cleaners and phone straps
What Do I Personally Recommend
As for my clients, I always take the time to research what they do before suggesting the merch. If they’re into health and wellness, I go for stress balls. Stress balls in different shapes are also perfect for different industries. A second favourite of mine would be jelly beans or mints. We have options below $5 that you can order in bulk.
