If you've decided on adding keyrings to your range of promotional items and promotional products, you may very well feel a bit overwhelmed at the huge amount of choices you have to make. Material, color, shape, added functions, and cost all play a part in your selection, and within each category there are some further choices to make.

Leather, Plastic, or Metal?

If you want fun and colorful eye-catching keyrings, plastic is usually the best choice. Plastic offers the most extensive range of choice in terms of color, shape and feel, with both hard and soft plastic options as well as a rainbow of colors and the ability to create custom shaped items.

If you want your keyrings to look a little more up-market, then leather and metal are both excellent options. Metal keyrings usually cost a little more, but have the added advantage of greatly increased longevity, as well as a more classy, classical feel than a plastic keyring.

Which Color?

If you choose to buy plastic keyrings, you've then got to decide on colors for your items. Most keyrings are available in at least half a dozen different colors, so it's easy to find a color that complements your brand or your existing company colors. If you have already created an advertising theme, this part is easy?you'll likely want to choose colors that are in keeping with this theme.

Choosing a Shape?traditional or custom?

Promotional keyrings are available in an unlimited variety of shapes. There are plenty of options when it comes to pre-made key chains, with telephones, computers, houses, and other commonly-used shapes available. If there are no pre-created designs that suit your purposes, it's even possible to have custom printed keyrings created in shapes that you specify.

Cost

Promotional Keyrings range in price from less than ?0.40 to ?3.00-?4.00 depending on the material they're made from, the quality of the item, and whether or not they include extra functions. Cost will probably be one of your primary considerations when organizing your promotional keyrings, but in general it's a good idea to get the best you can afford. The better the quality of the promotional items or business gifts you give out, the more goodwill you generate when you give them.

Multi-functional Keyrings

There are some very interesting and exciting multi-functional keyrings available. Among these are key chains that also function as calculators, key chains with bottle opener attachments, and even a very intriguing style of key chain that has an attached combination lock feature that allows the user to store important pin codes or other information securely. There are several varieties of key chain and torch combinations available, too. These are very handy items, which include bright LED lights in addition to the key chain.

Note that none of these decisions will be made in isolation ? you'll probably find that you'll make your final choice depending on a combination of all of these factors, rather than any single thing.
