365 Promos: Clean Up Their Desk

Looking at my desk it doesn’t take long to figure out who I have to thank for helping me control my office clutter — wonderful businesses who have gifted me everything from the little mug that holds my paper clips to my pen caddy. Their logos sit proudly on my desk for everybody to see. And years later I can still remember who gave me what and how I got them. My personal favorites are the items that were given as thank you’s.

Things like pen caddies, desktop organizers, and other desk accessories make for great promotional items because the are used regularly and are often used for years. They also put your name right where people can see it when they are making the decision about what company to use for their next big project.

And the timing could not be more perfect. In today’s economy, many office workers have had to get used to doing without the little niceties. Nobody wants to ask their boss for money to buy a new sticky note caddy for their office, but many don’t have the money in their own personal budget to cover expenses like that either. People have had to learned to do without and ignore the inconveniences.

So companies that give away something like a sticky note caddy not only makes their clients’ life a little easier, but they also send the message that they’re worth spoiling a little. And who doesn’t love a company that spoils them?
