Give Away Items
I am looking for some cheap but useful give away items. Just wondering what others have used in the past and worked. So I can get some stuff for IFC informal recruitment this fall.
Thanks |
I use a company called Amsterdam to order pens imprinted with my company's name and website address. This company has a good selection and decent prices. The thing is that the website prices aren't as good as the prices I get in my catalog. The quarterly catalogs have items *much* cheaper and with lower minimum orders than the website. You can get pens with printing on them for like 19¢ - 29¢ and such. There are also keychains, magnets, plastic cups, lanyards, mousepads and things like that.
http://www.amsterdamprinting.com/ I'm not a guy, so I have no idea what would work for your fraternity and/or IFC. Actually, these things might be better suited to a specific fraternity as opposed to a general IFC marketing tool. Though, pens with a catchy recruitment slogan and your IFC website address would be cheap, handy and actually useful for the recipient. Just an idea! .....Kelly :) |
Cups are always good, especially if its during frat rush for ...soda. ;)
I'm on my school's Honor Council and we handed out something like a thousand little plastic cups that said "DRINK FOR HONOR" on them. They were a big hit. You can get them at any mass-produceable type place or online. |
You can get beer bottle openers with some kind of printing on them done fairly cheaply. I'm always seeing those things as promotional items.

Anyways. Our total band has about 150-170 members. So we wouldn't meet the minumums. :( Is there a good place online to order cheap pencils with lower minimums? |
eh whats an extra 30 to 50 pencils, keep them for backups. :)

True...because having been in an orchestra before, I can sympathize w/ forgetting a pencil several days in a row & being truly appreciative of whomever would loan me another one! |
giving away pencils
You could also order enough for next year too.
Or, if your marching band is like the one here, they travel to two or three high school marching band competitions a weekend to do exhibitions. You could give them away there as a marketing tool to get high school students to come to your school for marching band. We even have billboards on the turnpike for our marching band. Just an idea.

When I attended the University of Louisville we were required to have our own pencils. When we broke up into sectionals (after each day's rehearsal) we had our own stand & had to have our own pencils. |
You can get pocket knives printed on...boys like pocket knives...
Also, the Kappa Sigma's here got lighters that had a bottle opener on one end printed with their RUSH chair's name and number on them...people liked those too. |
LOL Glad I'm not the only musician who constantly forgets a pencil. :D
And yeah I guess we could just order plenty extras to have them around. Duh. I didn't think of that. :p |

For example, I ordered two different styles of imprinted pens at 50 pieces each set. Quote:

I think some people do tealights as give aways. they would just write name on it and decorate the metal part........its hard to give away cuz some people may just show up for freebies........

Check Sam's Club website - the business section, they have various advertising specialties on the cheap. Also very inexpensive embroidered shirts.
