What are the best items to give away to promote your business?

Bottle openers with your company name and number on? t shirts?

Any other ideas?

Drinking bottles, re-usable lidded coffee/tea cups?
But your details not too ‘in your face’. Who wants a mug that says
“For all your roofing needs”, unless is it vibrant and jokey.
Pens always hanging around on desks.

Pads of shopping list reminders ?

With individual boxes to tick for Bread, Milk, Tea/Coffee, Juice, Fruit, Veg. Meats, Desserts, Biscuits, Cereals, Sauces, Pasta/Rice, etc.

Depends on your target market. Bottle openers aren't something a lawyer or accountant is likely to want on their keyring that clients may see and they certainly won't wear a t-shirt in the office. IT professionals more likely to want those.

My favourites are:
Reusable tea/coffee cup.
Pens. Can never have enough pens.
Diary and notebooks
USB sticks in the past but I don't use them any more.

Probably the cheapest but most effective little thing I've seen are those stick on webcam covers. Give out some of those with your logo on them and clients will stick them on their laptop webcams. Then in the Zoom world your brand is right in their line of sight several times a day.

Desk pads and pens.
Balloons with your message (for kids).
Reflector stickers for bicycles with logo.
Fridge magnets.

I saw a company giving away bag for life shopping bags. good quality bags and their logo plastered on both sides. That was a good one I thought.

It really depends on what your business is, and more importantly who your customer is and when you want them to think of you.

So, for example, if you're a food takeaway - It would be great to get something that people are going to stick up somewhere in the kitchen on the fridge.... So for example - a branded magnetic Shopping List/Whiteboard thingy. I (as the customer) am motivated to stick it on the fridge as it's a good idea to have something like that there and you (as the business) are happy because I have your brand in my face every time I think of eating something and going to the fridge.

But, if you are a B2B business that's probably no good.... so you're selling Office supplies... Well then I want something that someone in an office will leave on their desk.... A pen holder etc

So basically, before you think about what to give away, think about who your customers actually are and when you want them to think of you, and then get something based on that.

You say all the right things. I support you completely in every word you say. I would only recommend that everyone always strive to improve and try to optimise your business. I think a good e-commerce platform can help you do that. I think you should start getting to know all the information you need about those platforms now. I am sure that every successful business has its own website now. And especially if it is an online shop, the e-commerce platform is a must. I personally have an online shop, I sell household goods. In fact, I am very happy to have come across a platform like Shopware. If you want to know what is shopware, I recommend you read all the necessary information here.
