Im looking to get some promo stuff to give away at shows and to potential clients but my business is tiny and I dont need thousands of items. Does anyone know a place that sells reasonably priced promotional items and doesnt have huge minimum order requirements?

http://www.OrientalTrading.com has a biz promo section now. Prices seem to be pretty reasonable.

Good Luck!

Lisa :D

You can also look in the yellow pages! in your local area there will be lots of comapnies that will sell in low volume

good luck

Hey Lisa,

I sent you an email from your site. Wow it's been a long time since I've visited Idea Cafe.

p.s. Office Depot also does promotional items, and of course Dennis Beavers.

If you happen to have an EmbroidMe www.embroidme.com store in your area, I would check them out. This is a franchised system and I believe they are global. I am not sure if they have a minimum order. However, I worked with them on a few charity golf tournaments and they do excellent work.

In addition to Embroidery, they also sell pens, and other marketing items.

Jenny,

Kaeser & Blair is one of the leading distributors in this industry. They publish their own 228-page product catalog with every item below the factory list prices.

If you can't find a K & B dealer in your area, I'd be happy to mail you a catalog and assist you with finding the shorter quantity items.

If you're looking for a really unique biz promo item with a low minimum order requirement, you can take a look at using hot sauce.

We private label hot sauce with your own label, $100 setup fee, and you can order as few as 1 bottle, if you're so inclined. If you want multiple bottles, the price is $36 per case of 12x150ml bottles for orders less than 30 cases.

I am not sure if this would fit your need but I work with a company called www.thebestincentives.com. They are the greatest for giveaway incentives, vacation giveaways, restuarant giveaways....great for promos, help to get leads, gifts for customers...all kinds of things. This companies lets you purchase the reprint rights for a low fee and you have use of them always without having to repurchase. You can customize the certificates to say your business name as the giver of the incentive.

Hope that helps!

Lots of good suggestions on where to purchase promo stuff in low quantities.

However...

Some things to consider prior to purchasing promo items.

1. Why are you using Promotional Products?

2. What do expect in return? exposure, referrals, sales, leads, etc.

3. What product out of the 1,000's available best represents my business and the message I want to convey?

Make your promos relevant!

Press on to Success!
