If you’ve got a brand you want to promote, you know how crucial it is to appear in the least expected places. Having your brand’s ad in easier-to-access areas can be just as good as having an ad up on a billboard and cost just about a thousand times less.

Here are ten promotional items for your desk.

Branded Pens

Say it with me- everyone uses pens. There’s a reason you see so many branded pens floating about. Why doesn’t the bank send the cops after you when you rob them of one of their precious pens? Because it’s an ad you carry around all day, and it works.

Branded Pencils

There’s really nothing more useful than a pencil. Although most of us in the adult world tend to turn to a pen for our writing needs, a pencil has that indispensable eraser- because everyone makes mistakes.

Promotional Mugs

Take your eyes off the ‘world’s best dad’ mug for just two seconds. When you’re holding your mug up to your chest, waiting to take a drink, you’re essentially holding up a big ad. And everyone- and I mean everyone- likes mugs.

Branded Drink Bottles

In this day and age, when health is so important, and everyone seems to be extolling the virtue of getting enough water or drinking their protein shake, you’d be amiss to overlook the advertising power of a promotional drink bottle.

Bobble Heads

If you’ve got a little mascot associated with your brand, why not put out a bobblehead?

Bobbleheads are fun, and people will want to take or buy them. Not to mention, they draw the eye, so your rand is likely to get noticed.

Bobbleheads are a fun, effective way to promote your brand.

Promotional Calendars

Business people are organised people. Well- the best ones, anyway. You’ll want to keep your schedule clean and organised for the maelstrom of daily responsibilities you face, and there’s no better way to do it than with a calendar.

When they think organization, they’ll think of your brand.

Promotional Plant Pots

There’s really nothing cuter or more inviting than a little green plant growing on a desk. When people see your brand, they’ll associate it with the inviting little flower that made them feel more comfortable.

Branded Folders

Yet another way to keep organized and yet another way to put your brand in other people’s heads. Branded folders will work for your brand no matter where they are.

Other Promotional Office Supplies

Highlighters, sticky notes, paper clip boxes- all of these can provide you with valuable ad space that wouldn’t have existed had you just let your clients buy their supplies at the store. It’s all about sticking in people’s memories, and what better way to do that than constant exposure.

Branded Notebooks

Branded notebooks are a great way to give your brand constant exposure. Everyone needs notebooks, and everyone sees notebooks almost on a daily basis. Don’t overlook this lucrative brand space.
