Distribute to Employees

Giving promotional items to your employees is an excellent way of promoting company awareness and of helping your staff feel like members of your team. Items such as clothing and conference bags are ideal, not only because your employees will appreciate the gift, but also because these items provide highly visible advertising. Give your employees a company branded bag for toting their belongings around to and from work, and the slogan you design for the bag will be viewed by plenty of people.

In addition, by supplying a really comfortable, convenient and durable conference bag to each employee, they can use these bags at conferences they attend, rather than picking up a new bag at the conference?that puts your advertising message in a place where it will achieve maximum exposure with the kinds of people you want to see it.

Client Gifts

For the same reasons, conference bags and other similar items are ideal client gifts. This is particularly true because the recipients of these items will appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity in giving items that are both more expensive and more unusual than other more common items. Naturally these are not gifts you'll be giving out every day?they're quite a bit more expensive than a pen or coffee mug, after all. But they are ideal for those occasions where you want to give a gift that's fairly casual but still a cut above the average.

Trade Shows

If you're attending a trade show or other event where you plan to hand out promotional items, consider storing the items you're distributing in a conference bag or another type of bag that displays your company logo. This helps reinforce your brand identity, and it's a great way of doing this in a very subtle fashion. Using a conference bag in this way is particularly useful if you're going to be walking around the even rather than sitting in a booth, as your items will be located conveniently and the bag will be comfortable to carry around.

Fund-Raising Items

A stylish and practical bag is a great option for any organization that's planning a fund-raising venture. Schools and charitable organizations can always benefit from fund-raising measures, and providing an attractive, useful and good quality item is a great way to do it. Brand the bags with the name of your organization and you've got a good way of not only raising money, but of generating some long-lasting publicity for your cause. When choosing bags for fund-raising purposes, it's usually best to choose a hard-wearing bag in a variety of different colors, so your items will last a long time, and so that you can offer color options to suit all buyers.
