Choosing promotional products that can be used in a variety of different locations can be very beneficial for your business. Work place products definitely have their uses, but there are great advantages to items that can be used in more public places. Promotional products come in a huge range of varieties to suit every preference and budget, and there are plenty of options if you want to focus on items that can be used and displayed in public, or are suitable for use while traveling.

Promotional Products for Office Use
Given that office products do have a very definite and useful role in promotional activities it’s worth noting the huge selection you have when choosing such items. Almost any office-related product you can think of can be branded with your company name and logo, and used in your own work place or given to clients and customers for use at work or home. Desk top products such as calendars, clocks, paperweights and similar items are popular, while company-branded stationery and other consumables are used by most businesses either large or small.

Promotional Leisure Products
Leisure products make ideal give-aways because they provide the recipients with some form of entertainment, and they’ll then associate your company with the good time they had using the products you gave them. There are plenty of leisure-oriented promotional products to choose from, including sports bottles, stopwatches, pedometers, and digital cameras. Leisure products such as Frisbees and boomerangs are always popular—hand them out at company picnics or take your promotion to the beach if you’re in a suitably-themed business.

It should come as no surprise that there’s a good range of golfing-related promotional products available. These are useful not only for promoting your business; they also make great gifts for clients and business associates who have a fondness for this sport. Products in this range include golf towels in terrycloth or velour, leather or vinyl scorecards, leather golfing gloves, golfing sets that include markers and tees, as well as the ever-popular golfing umbrellas. In fact, there are even miniature umbrellas that sit atop a golf bag to protect clubs from rain.

Promotional Products for “Anywhere” Use
Any promotional product that can be used in public areas is an excellent opportunity to get your company name in the public eye. These can include tote bags, laptop bags, conference bags, umbrellas, and items of clothing such as polo shirts and jackets. All of these items have the added advantage of large and prominent print areas that really increase the visibility of your promotional message.

Travel-related gifts are also a great option, particularly useful for clients and employees who travel frequently. Travel mugs, road atlases, traveling sewing or shoeshine kits, travel clocks and items such as personal radios or MP3 players are sure to please any recipient who travels often. These don’t necessary provide high-profile advertising exposure—the value of these promotional products lies more in the favorable impression you make on the people who receive such items.
