Promotional Giveaways for Exhibitions and Events

Choosing the right giveaway for an exhibition comes down to three things: what your audience will actually keep, how clearly it carries your brand, and whether it arrives before the event does. We've put together this page to help you work through all three.

We stock hundreds of products suited to exhibition use, from printed tote bags and branded pens to tech accessories and drinkware. Minimum order quantities, turnaround times and branding options vary by product, so the detail on each product page is the number to trust.

What makes a good exhibition giveaway?

The products that work hardest at events are the ones people use after they leave. A branded notebook gets opened on the train home. A reusable water bottle goes to the gym on Monday. A cheap plastic pen ends up in a bin by Friday.

When you're choosing, think about:

• Utility - does the product solve a small everyday problem?
• Visibility - is there enough surface area to carry your logo clearly?
• Audience fit - would your specific delegates actually want this?
• Budget per unit - what does your total giveaway budget divide to per head?

If you're not sure where to start, tell us the event type, your rough budget and the number of attendees. We'll tell you what we'd order.

Branding options and lead times

Most exhibition products can be branded by screen print, digital print or pad print depending on the item. Some products also support embroidery or laser engraving. The branding method affects both the look and the cost, so it's worth checking the product page before you brief us.

Standard lead times from proof approval are around 7–10 working days for most items. If you need your order sooner, use the ‘Fastest Delivery’ or ‘Delivery By’ filters on the left-hand side of the product listing page to find products that can arrive in time for your event.

You'll get a free digital proof within 20 minutes of sending your artwork. Nothing goes to print until you've signed off the proof, so there are no surprises on delivery.
