While many of the business gifts that are sent out each year are low cost promotional items like pens, key rings and Frisbees, there is also a ready market for mid-range and high end business gifts that are more suited to trade show giveaways and loyalty and redemption programmes. If you and your company have decided to use business gifts in a fulfillment or loyalty programme or as prizes in a promotional sweepstakes, there are many products from which to choose. A typical prize/rewards structure for a promotional giveaway using business gifts might look like this:



The Grand Prize (or the highest level of reward in your giveaway programme) is usually a one-of-a-kind item or a large sum of money. There’s usually only one top level prize, but in a fulfillment programme, you’ll need to estimate how many of your top level reward gifts to order. Some ideas for top level rewards include laptop computers, DVD players and other electronics.

Midrange Business Gifts for Fulfillment Programmes

Many of these are your best bets for business gifts, because they’re also the most visible. Items like jackets, t-shirts and other apparel are popular with your customers because they allow them to express brand loyalty – which also makes them valuable for you. When your customers wear your name on their pockets or their backs, they’re the best business that you can get.

- Jackets and sweatshirts are popular mid-range fulfillment business gifts. Because they’re outerwear, they are among the most visible business gifts you can buy. Be sure to choose quality workmanship and materials to represent your company and make your customers more likely to wear them.
