Matching Gifts For Your Promotional Bottle Openers

By Tina Rinaudo

When you're attending an event to promote your company, having promotional items is the best way to draw attention to your site. Promotional bottle openers are a good start. While there are many advantages to using promotional bottle openers, however, don't forget that most stands will be giving out two or three different promotional products. If you want to "compete," it is crucial to find an item or two to pair with your promotional bottle openers. Here are a few great ideas:

• Promotional Drinks and Food: You can order candy and other types of food with personalized wrappers, which goes nicely with promotional bottle openers since they are all kitchen items. You can even get drinks in bottle of cans that have labels promoting your company. These may not be the most efficient, since most people will through away the empty container or wrapper after consuming what's inside, but they do work well with the bottle opener. The key here is functionality. People are most likely to keep a product if it is functional. Have bottles and pop the top with your promotional bottle openers, and your potential customers will see the product in action, so to speak. This may not seem like a big deal, but if people save your promotional product, you'll get more bang for your buck-they'll be more likely to call you a few months or even years down the road.


• Promotional Cups and Mugs: Against, this keeps with the drink theme. People thrive on organization, so when your stand or booth seems to have a theme, it will seem more attractive. Having mugs or cups to give out also decrease the likelihood that your promotional bottle openers will be thrown away. The larger items are, the better, because people see larger items as more expensive. While they're throw about "junk" like promotional pens, they'll rarely toss promotional mugs and promotional bottle openers.


• Items for the Kids: One of the best kinds of promotional items you can give out are toys and other things that are attractive to kids. Children love free stuff and parents love to distract bored, whining kids. However, promotional bottle openers are really a more adult gift. Therefore, making sure you have something for the kids as well will help you draw more people to your company's stand of booth.


• Bags: Lastly, bags are always a really good item to give out at events. Most promotional items are a bit difficult to carry around, and will consequently be thrown in the trash, along with literature about the companies people have visited. If you give out a plastic bag, complete with your company name and logo, people will have somewhere to put their stuff, including your promotional bottle openers. It's a double win situation, too-as people carry around their bags, your company is being advertised.

Almost any promotional item works well with promotional bottle openers, actually. The key is to have a number of give-a-ways so that you can entice as many people as possible.
