20 Trade Show Giveaway Ideas to Help Your Company Stand Out
The season of trade shows is upon us, so it’s time to start thinking about which branded gifts will leave a lasting impression. Many trade shows are returning to in-person events, while others will either remain virtual or give the option of both. This change presents the opportunity to create trade show giveaways that will have a meaningful impact on those who may be going in person and deeply engage those who are joining virtually. Perhaps more importantly, giving custom gifts that people will actually use and want to keep can increase their value and make their trade show experience more memorable. Our experts have put together our favorite picks for trade show giveaway ideas!
Eco Spiral Notebook with Pen and the Souvenir Plastic Cover Notebook with Vertex Pen
Custom notebooks with pens are one of the most practical choices for trade show giveaways, and we have a variety! Choose from sustainable options like the Eco Spiral Notebook with Pen or treat everyone to the Souvenir Plastic Cover Notebook with Vertex Pen, which has excellent features like an interior pocket and four color dividers. A notebook is an excellent way to engage those attending in person and virtually.
Pilot G2 Premium Gel Roller Pen and Papermate InkJoy Click Pen
Custom pens have long been a fantastic way to spread brand awareness, and having a pen that writes smoothly and comfortably is (in our opinion) completely underrated. Luckily, we offer high-quality brands like Pilot Pens and Papermate Pens to be branded with your custom logo. Add your company logo to the ever-popular Pilot G2 Premium Gel Roller Pen or the Papermate InkJoy Click Pen, which comes in nine colors for ultimate flexibility!

People need totes to carry all of their awesome swag from the trade show, and these custom tote bags’ durability and versatility will have them using these totes long after it’s over. The Essential Zip Convention Tote Bag has tons of space for all of your essentials as well as a zip top to safely keep everything inside. The Recycled Cotton Convention Tote Bag is a great choice for showing off your brand in an eco-friendly way.

Full Color 0.5 oz. Squirt Hand Sanitizer and 1 oz. Hand Sanitizer with Silicone Lanyard and Holders
With all the hustle and bustle of conferences or trade shows, having some hand sanitizer is, well, handy! Add your logo to bottles of Full Color 0.5 oz. Squirt Hand Sanitizer and choose which color best suits your brand. For even more convenience, add your custom design to 1 oz. Hand Sanitizer with Silicone Lanyard and Holders, so that your recipients will always be germ-free—either with bottles dangling from their necks or clipped to their belt loops.
Custom Vinyl Decals
As we’re sure you’ve noticed, people put custom stickers on everything: cars, laptops, water bottles, phones, skateboards, notebooks, and pets! Okay, maybe not the last one, but we see them everywhere. Custom vinyl stickers and decals are a fun and easy way to boost brand awareness and give people an opportunity to use their trade show swag creatively.
Custom Keychains
A custom keychain may seem like a small gift, but if you pick the right one it can be used for years to come. Make your custom keychains more memorable by choosing one with another use, such as the Laser Engraved Aluminum Bottle Opener Keychain, Laser Engraved Large Carabiner Keychain, and Customized Touchless Door Opener with Stylus. Custom laser engraving also adds a sleek and professional look. You can also easily upgrade your trade show giveaways by pairing keychains with other custom products.
Custom Tech Accessories
We’re adding new products all the time, and custom tech accessories are a fast-growing category at Custom Ink. Make your trade show giveaways more tech-savvy with useful and often appreciated gifts, like the custom Mini Security Webcam Cover, which holds some prime real estate on laptops and computer setups. And we’re sure everyone will ask where the recipients got those nifty tools, but they’ll know thanks to your front-and-center logo! Custom headphones, like JBL Tune 215TWS True Wireless Earbuds, are other oft-appreciated gifts because they provide some time to tune out and recharge after (or during) a long day of being in crowds.
Speaking of recharging, make sure everyone has enough juice to get them through the day with power banks and chargers bearing your custom logo. The sleek Laser Engraved Plank 5,000 mAh Bamboo Wireless Power Bank works as a wireless charging pad and a regular power bank.
