Calculators have been built into everything today. Computers, phones and even watches have them. Despite that fact though calculators are still going very strong and are still ever so popular. There are countless scenarios where nothing beats a calculator for sheer convenience and ergonomics. The advantages of a promotional calculator include:

1) Convenience. If you were in a retail environment or you were selling large item products such as cars, televisions or other big ticket products it is definitely a good idea to use calculators for both your sales team as well as customers. It allows them to walk and discuss freely possibilities as well as pricing options with more ease than what a computer or phone can provide.

2) Accuracy. Touch screen inputs typically found on tablets and smart phones are simply prone to errors. This is why the tactile feel of a calculator even small little ones are a huge advantage

3) The calculator as a tool has been around in some form or another for hundreds of years. Technically speaking even an abacus is a type of calculator. For that reason marketing your brand on a promotional calculator offers something a little different to the recipient. The calculator would imply many proffesional hints to your brand name such as precision and careful thinking implications. This will definitely add to your marketing.

4) Fast safe access. The fastest computers stilll need half a minute to boot. A calculator will take around half a second. Simply no comparison to the speed that a calculator offers.

At the moment having your brand on a calculator has never been so affordable. We have calculators big and small in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit everyone from business executives through to students.
