Sometimes you don't want to come across as flashy, or extravagant. You just want people to see you as a down to earth kind of business that they can really relate to. If you are working that type of angle, then shouldn't you also focus your promotional keyrings to reflect this view on simplicity as well?



The flashier promotional gifts get, the more some people have a nostalgic longing for a time when it wasn't so over the top. These traditionalists are the group that would be best targeted by simple, classic promotional keyrings. After all, a keyring is just supposed to be a little practical invention, not some showcase for glamor and flash.

There are a few types of classic promotional keyrings ? any of them should get across the point you are trying to make, but you or your clients might have a personal favorite that they would love to get. Plastic keyrings are the best as far as variety goes. You can get ones with little logo pictures inside of clear plastic, you can get very simplistic colored plastic with your logo on it, or you can opt for a custom shape. Preferably, you would want the shape to have some relevance to your business. You are going for associative recognition with this ? they see, say, a telephone with your logo in it, and they associate your call center business with the telephone shape.

Metal keyrings win the durable award, although you don't get quite as many customization options with these types of keyrings since your logo has to be etched in. You can, however, get the ultra useful metal bottle opener keyring. You might not think it would be used all that much, but if you can hit a crowd that loves their sports, you'll be alright. You can also do the swiss knife keyring, although that one might get people in trouble if they're going through metal detectors a lot ? you don't want to get anyone thrown in jail for forgetting about their keyring on a flight! The third super useful promotional metal keyring would be the flash light keyring. This is a mini fully functional flashlight that is just the right size for use in an emergency. It might not be powerful, but it is better than nothing, and handy for those times that you could really use some lights.

The last of the classic promotional keyrings is the one that just screams elegance and sophistication. The leather keyring, while having limited logo customization options (because of the imprinting procedure), nevertheless really makes a positive impact. They also have issues in the durability department since they won't stand up to wet weather, but you're going for style more than anything else here. Leather keyrings do have a lot of shape choices ? so once again you are going to want to try and get a shape that has your clients associating your business with that particular item.

No matter what classic promotional keyring you choose, you can rest assured that these are a great promo tool for getting your name and brand out there.
