Promotional Gifts for Him

Boys love their toys, and you can use this to gain a competitive marketing advantage. When choosing promotional gifts for men there are loads of options out there that will both improve the image of your company and bring in loads of new business. Whether you are choosing gifts to give to important clients and valued staff or simply to hand out to motorists at traffic lights you can ensure massive returns on your marketing investment if you target men and focus on their tendency to enjoy gadgets.

If you are going to for the market saturation approach and you want to distribute as many promotional gifts as possible as cheaply as possible, you will need to go to events where a lot of men gather. Sporting events come to mind first but you can try the beach, tradeshows or any other gathering where there are likely to be more men than women present.

If you are going for gender-specific male gifts, anything to do with beer normally goes down well. If you are at a sporting event beer cooler sleeves or “beer cosies” as they are often referred to make excellent promotional gifts to hand out at a sporting event like a football or baseball game. These foam sleeves are made from the same material used to make the best cooler bags and will keep a beer can or bottle cold for up to an hour longer. If your logo is displayed prominently on the side of your beer cooler sleeves then they will be seen even by people who did not receive one. Because they look like such nifty inventions, they will inspire a little bit of envy.

This is one of the most powerful marketing tools you can have at your disposal – envy of people who own your product. In this case it is very easy to manufacture this sentiment by distributing promotional gifts that are innovative and interesting. If you hand out items that make peoples’ lives easier at ball games you will get everybody else wishing that they had one of your gifts. This will make people remember your company name and look you up if they need your product or service – provided that the association between your brand and your product is made clearly enough by the beer cooler sleeves!

Shaving kits, men’s vanity kits and travel kits all make excellent promotional gifts to give to men, but these might be a little more expensive. With this in mind it might be a good idea to reserve these gifts for men who are more likely to need your product. It simply does not make marketing sense to hand out $50 shaving kits at traffic lights in rush hour. If you do this, most men who receive the items will probably use the products inside, but will most likely not remember what company gave them to him. Choosing the time and place to hand out your promotional gifts for men is just as important as choosing the right budget and spending the right amount of money.
