Ah, the tradeshow floor. A magical land of branded backdrops, awkward networking, and the smell of fresh lanyards in the air. But let’s be real, there’s one thing attendees really look forward to: the tradeshow giveaways.
You know the drill. People will zigzag across 20 aisles and endure five elevator pitches just to get their hands on a good freebie. So if you're handing out anything less than amazing, you’re basically gifting your budget to the bottom of someone’s tote bag (or worse, the hotel trash can).
That’s where we come in.
At Blue Soda Promo, we don’t do boring. We do branded. We do clever. We do tradeshow giveaways that actually get used and remembered.
Here are six of our top-performing, crowd-pleasing, ROI-boosting tradeshow giveaways that will have your booth buzzing.
1. Feed Organic Cotton Shopper Tote
Let’s tote-ally start with a classic, made sustainable and meaningful. This organic cotton shopper tote isn’t just stylish, it’s a feel-good freebie that checks the eco-conscious box while still delivering everyday functionality. Plus, it’s got heart: every purchase helps provide meals to children in schools, making your brand part of a bigger mission. It’s roomy enough to carry all the other tradeshow giveaways attendees will snag (but let’s be honest, yours will be their favorite).
Why it's a winner:
- Big imprint area = big brand visibility
